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! […]
I think homemade ravioli might be my favorite food. That’s a pretty hefty statement, you know, because I love food, and I love so many different foods.

Wow. Today was really a day, if you know what I mean. It started out with very few hours of sleep, became more harried and more chagrined as I rushed off to an early morning meeting that turned out not to be today, and was compounded by my darling son spitting up on my crotch […]
When I go to a Superbowl party, I like to camp out by the food table. I mean, I’ve said it before and I will say it again…I hate football. The only interesting thing on the TV all night will be the commercials. And with the exception of some creative and hilarious Snickers commercials a […]

Seriously, I wish butternut squash were in season all year long so I could make this more often…although the anticipation is pretty sweet, too. Just close your eyes and imagine […]
It’s no secret that I love pumpkin things. Sweet or savory, pumpkin has got my attention! I know that Thanksgiving is over and I should be moving on to more wintery flavors, but I just can’t give up on pumpkin for the season yet. Take these awesome pumpkin gnocchi, for example.

Quinoa Bean Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing
