Sautéed Purple Asparagus
Did I tell you we joined a farm? Maybe joined isn’t the right word, but I definitely think about it as my farm these days! What we actually did is buy a CSA share for the summer. In case that’s an unfamiliar acronym, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and it’s a program that many […]
Asparagus Green Bean Salad
Right after Jake was born, a bunch of amazing friends brought us food for a few weeks to lighten our load. And thank goodness! Otherwise I am not sure we would have eaten anything except cereal, cereal, cereal. It was a great opportunity to try new things! One of my new dishes was this side […]
I can’t believe Jake is almost 7 months old! We have been feeding him solids for about a month now. We started with rice cereal, per our pediatrician’s recommendation, and then slowly started introducing vegetable purees. But, um…did you know that a lot of store brand baby foods have all kinds of chemical additives in […]
In our house, this noodle dish represents the best of all worlds. I like it because it is full of whole grains and vegetables. Dave likes it because it’s tossed in an Asian style sauce. I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this sooner! This meal is a snap to put together. In about the […]
The first time I made this snack, it was out of slightly morbid curiosity. It was just so weird, and there was so much going on: avocados, chilis, curry, mustard, cilantro. I thought maybe this recipe couldn’t decide what direction it wanted to go in, so it just went for everything at once. Boy was […]
My mom came to visit a few weeks ago. She brought a large container of kale chips with her. I literally could not stop eating them. I ate like 3 cups of kale chips in half an hour. I was so disappointed when they were gone! But I justified this to myself (quite convincingly, I […]
Carrot Chickpea Salad
This salad hit me out of the blue. I was just scrolling through one of my favorite blogs, 101 Cookbooks, when I spotted this yummy bowlful and suddenly realized I had all the ingredients in my kitchen, and that I had a potluck to go to that very night. What a stroke of good luck! […]
This month for the Secret Recipe Club challenge, I was assigned the blog Searching for Spice. I knew immediately that I wanted to try out this carrot soup. I mean, what is better than a vegetable soup for lunch on a winter day? My good friend Sarah over at Well Dined came over to make […]
Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Am I the only one around here whose entire refrigerator door is filled with salad dressings? I think not. It is, after all, still January—we are still squarely in that brief season of keeping our resolutions to avoid cookies like the plague and eat nothing but salad and wheat bran day in and day out. […]
It’s the middle of January! I am already flagging on my New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy. Is that just me? It’s time for a delicious pick-me-up. And what is more delicious than a glut of hearty, colorful veggies, stirred into some slightly chewy, nutty quinoa? My good friend Sarah over at Well Dined agreed […]
