If you’re looking for something to do with the 20 pounds of apples still sitting in your kitchen from apple picking last month (or is that just me?) and you’ve had enough super sweet desserts for the time being, this not-too-sweet breakfast crisp has you covered. Add Greek yogurt for breakfast or vanilla ice cream … Continue reading Apple Berry Breakfast Crisp
I haven’t felt much like blogging recently, for so many reasons. Mainly it’s been a combination of being 9 months pregnant and in the middle of a pandemic. My due date is tomorrow and it’s looking unlikely that we’ll have a baby by then; meanwhile, we’re afraid that the longer she waits to get here, … Continue reading Moroccan Carrot Salad
Happy new year! After another short hiatus, it’s good to be back again. I took some time around the holidays to travel for work, travel to see family, and rest up after returning home, but I’m excited to be back and sharing this bread with you now because it’s AMAZING! I’ve been really loving the … Continue reading Buckwheat Cranberry Pecan Bread (gluten free)
I’ve recently been overcome by an inexplicable urge to bake pies. I don’t know if it’s the holiday season, the cold weather, or what, but I would be baking them every day if I could! This one is loosely adapted from the wonderful book The Sweet Spot: Dialing Back Sugar and Amping Up Flavor. Kabocha … Continue reading Kabocha Persimmon Pie
I can’t think of a better way to kick off a cold, snowy week following a busy Thanksgiving weekend with family than a warming soup that can be made with turkey bone broth if you’ve made some from your Thanksgiving turkey. Andrew and I hosted our first Thanksgiving ever this past weekend, with both our … Continue reading Mushroom Barley Soup
This salad is giant, fresh, and delicious—the perfect thing after a busy week of too many restaurants and rushed “lunches” made of snack foods. The dairy-free dressing is made creamy by blending in chickpeas, which I didn’t think of but which I think is total genius! I actually prepared and photographed this salad two months … Continue reading Giant Romaine Salad with Creamy Cilantro Dressing
Dairy-Free Fudge Pops I was inspired by the heat wave we had last weekend to make popsicles—possibly the most summery treat of all. These are dairy free and super creamy and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The original recipe calls for a tablespoon of instant espresso powder, so feel free to add … Continue reading Dairy-Free Fudge Pops
This spicy dip is one of my new staple recipes! If you have a hard time with spicy foods, you can try replacing the chipotles with a few sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil (or use regular sun-dried tomatoes that have been soaked in hot water for 20 minutes) and adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika. … Continue reading Smoky Red Lentil Dip
This recipe is a very loose adaptation from one of my favorite cookbooks, Sunday Suppers at Lucques. It’s an excellent thing to bring to a picnic or a cookout, as it holds up well if made in advance. It will still be good the next day too, and will work as an excellent side dish … Continue reading Summer Succotash Salad
This weekend began with a lot of recipe testing at my parents’ place in Pennsylvania—an excellent beginning! One of the successes was this sour cherry pie, made with sour cherries from the tree in the yard (!!!) and with a gluten-free almond crust. For this recipe, you can use any unbaked pie crust you like, … Continue reading Sour Cherry Pie with an Almond Crust (Gluten Free)
