Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Dublin Coddle with Carrots and Greens is a lovely rustic stew that’s perfect for warming up with on a chilly evening.
There are just some things in life that happen in their own time. Everything that grows, whether it’s a plant, animal, or person, has a season. Some things just can’t be rushed.…
Make a Japanese Power Bowl with Quick Miso Vinaigrette for lunch to power through the mid-week slump! There’s always a debate about whether to buy lunch or brown bag it to work. Now that I work from home, I realize how fortunate I am to be able to whip up a healthy (hot, if I choose) lunch every day, but when I worked in an office I didn’t have that luxury. I frequently packed salads or power bowls like this, and Fridays were reserved for lunch out!...
The flavors of this festive Harissa-Spiced Roasted Root Vegetable Medley Salad with Sweet-Spicy Date Vinaigrette are perfectly balanced. So…that’s really what you want as your Christmas gift?, Mike asked me dubiously. Yes. You know how much I love the Russian ballet, I replied with an ear-to-ear grin after telling him that I wanted to go see The Nutcracker with him. Judging by the look on his face, I might as well have asked him to find me the Holy Grail or to lasso me the moon. Such is the difference between men and women, lol....
This hearty recipe for Slow Cooker Sweet Potato, Lentil, and Chicken Sausage Soup with Pumpkin Pie Spices will have your whole house smelling like fall. So the other morning I hit up the grocery store for a couple things I needed to make this recipe and a couple others. I chatted up a couple employees who I usually see there, and then went on my merry way. I was sidetracked passing through the candle aisle when I happened to notice that the Food Network has a line of candles (how long has this been going on? I feel like I’ve been living under a rock, […]...
These Thai-Inspired Street Dogs boast some of my favorite Thai flavors like peanut, garlic, and ginger in a tasty slaw! What could be better for topping hot dogs? I am a street food junkie, especially when I travel. I think there’s no better way to get to know the cuisine of a different culture than to jump head-first into the food the locals enjoy. (Plus street food has the added benefit of being much more affordable, which means you get to sample more…right?)...
I’m the girl who eats soup in summer and ice cream in winter. (But maybe that’s not so strange…scientists say a hot drink on a hot day can cool you down and ice cream can warm up the body because of its caloric content.) Smoothies are my anomaly though; I enjoy them just as much in the dead of January as I do in the blazing heat of July....
We all know there’s a correlation: when temps start warming up, our salad consumption skyrockets. Whether you’re trying to lose those last few stubborn pounds before summer or are just craving lighter fare, salad seems to be the key. I try to eat a salad as a full meal at least once each day (usually for lunch or dinner, but sometimes even breakfast), and it never gets boring because there are so many different ways to do it....
Since I started juicing about a year ago, I’ve frequently wondered what other uses I can come up with for the pulp. Even composting it seems like such a waste since it’s still full of nutrition…just in an altered form. What am I working with? Kale, apple, pineapple, and carrot go into my usual juice, but sometimes beets, parsley, celery, spinach, lemon, grapefruit, and/or ginger get added in....
I am thoroughly enjoying sharing my monthly posts with you in my series A Happier Healthier You 2015, and I think this is one of the most exciting installments yet. My guest of honor is none other than Myra Goodman, who I had the absolute pleasure of meeting in person at Earthbound Farm last fall....
Have you started to feel spring in the air yet? It’s literally just a week away, so if you’ve had an exceptionally cold/snowy winter, hang in there because the end is in sight....
