This is possibly the best egg salad in the whole world. I don’t say that lightly, believe me: egg salad is on my top five list of favorite foods, and I have eaten it almost daily since Jake was born. I love eggs. But this egg salad is a symphony of amazing flavor! It’s herby […]
It’s finally warm and beautiful outside! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and you know what that means: eating outside! This time of year I am always on the lookout for different ways to make a veggie burger. This sweet potato version is a doozy: sweet and spicy and starchy all in one! […]
I think of this as my pregnant-lady lunch. Because when you are pregnant and have a toddler, lunch must be tasty and ready in less than 5 minutes. And, you know, it should also have some good things in it, like protein and healthy fats and vegetables. Because…growing a human. Eating healthy has been a […]
It’s a snow day, so you know what’s on the menu at my house: grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s the perfect comfort food! I have so many memories of eating this meal as a child, especially after traipsing around in the snow on a winter day. My mother would stand at the stove and […]
Sarah and I have been making lunches together for quite some time. And yet…we hardly ever make sandwiches. A classic lunch food, completely ignored! I completely love sandwiches (what’s not to love about food layered between slices of bread?) and yet, I struggle to feel at all original or creative when it comes to making […]
Tomato Tartines with Truffle Salt
I have been on an open-face sandwich kick lately. Simple lunches really are a pleasure, aren’t they? And now, at the beginning of tomato season, what could be a better way to enjoy that pungent, bursting flavor than fresh on a slice of warm, toasty bread?
So last week I went to New York City with my husband to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. Let’s just say it was a fairly glorious week. I ate my weight in delicious foods: pizzas, croissants, bagels, salmon, mac and cheese, many glasses of wine, chocolate of all kinds. And while I brought my computer along—with […]
It’s Spring. And Spring is the only sane time to be grilling (because Summer…so hot!). This year, I swore I would make sure our grill got cleaned and actually learn how to use a charcoal chimney so I could make you some delicious burgers and kebabs. But…I haven’t done it yet. I’ve been a little […]
Dear Great Country Farms CSA Share, I guess I owe you an apology. You were right. There is a place for cucumbers in my life. Like in tzatziki. And gazpacho. And tabbouleh, which I also hated prior to this summer. We have an uneasy friendship, don’t we, CSA share? For weeks, I’ve wanted to stop […]
Veggie “Gyros” with Tzatziki Sauce
Day 3 of working through cucumbers like they are going out of style. Which, of course, they aren’t. Because there are still 6 of them in my fridge. Eek! But this combination is one I will be returning to over and over, even when I am not desperate to put an end to a plague […]
