Last week, we went to the beach. It was eventful, to say the least. (Just picture losing not one but two of your children for several heart-stopping minutes, while the third eats sand every single time you look away.) After we decided to stay off the beach (gee…I wonder why?), we basically spent the rest […]
I get up and pad softly across the room to pour myself a mug of coffee, pulling the pot out from the machine while it is still running and leaning over the steaming mug to catch a little extra warmth. Maybe I should risk going upstairs and waking the kids so I can grab a […]
In case you haven’t figured this out yet, I’m a really picky eater. And as summer has gotten into full swing again, I’ve circled back around to the fact that cookouts are a challenge for me.
If you’ve been hanging out here for a while, then you already know how dearly I love Sarah of Well Dined. She is one of my favorite people on the planet! Sarah has been unspeakably kind and generous to me in the seven years (!) we’ve known each other. She is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and hilarious. […]
I’ve become kind of obsessed with cauliflower. Lately, I’ve been eating it almost every day, with beet hummus, for breakfast scrambled with eggs, instead of rice with Indian food. And then Sarah and I decided to combine our powers for good and make a colorful, healthy lunch totally based on cauliflower. I am NOT on […]
I like to collect cookbooks. Mostly pretty ones. Often written by bloggers I enjoy and famous chefs. Yet, like everyone in my generation, when I want to figure out what is for dinner, I usually ask Pinterest. Which is why it’s so weird that I have been cooking lately from magazine clippings and *gasp* the actual […]
Are you a gardener? I keep trying, really I do, but I have never had any success with squash. I know they are supposed to be easy to grow, prolific even…but so are the tiny little caterpillars that keep murdering my squash plants year after year. Which is why I am so grateful for friends […]
Beet Hummus
Last week, I made these amazing beet burgers. Beets are lovely, aren’t they? I think beets are the most beautiful color in the whole world. But…I have to admit that I really hate to eat them plain. I’ve tried them in salads with goat cheese and soaked in butter and horseradish sauce. But my favorite […]
Admit it. You love veggie burgers. You can’t escape the truth. Veggie burgers are one of the best things about being vegetarian, in my opinion. (Why eat something boring when you can eat something creative?) And these beet burgers with quinoa and black beans are no exception! They are delightful and hearty and a little […]
Two weeks ago, we went camping as a family for the first time ever. After I got over the trauma of packing (you guys: packing everything you could possibly need for your shelter and all your activities outside and food cooked over a camp stove, which you also have to bring along…why did I want to […]
