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 […]
Attention, all mothers of babies and toddlers! I have found you the perfect meal delivery vehicle. That’s right, the pita pocket! You can hold it in one hand, it won’t fall apart when you put it down (plus it’s easy to pick back up again!), AND nothing will fall or drip out of the bottom […]
I can’t believe Jake is almost 7 months old! We have been feeding him solids for about a month now.

Halves of bell peppers, lonely carrots, three baby bellas that didn’t make it into a salad earlier in the week… Inspiration finally struck as I was struggling […]

Quinoa Bean Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing
Are you wondering what to do with the last of the summer produce? I still find myself in the grocery store looking longingly at the tomatoes, even as I am getting super hyped about fall squash. So I decided to say goodbye to summer in style before the summer goodies completely lost their luster! This […]
I have been wanting to make black bean burgers for ages…but for some reason, I was a little afraid of them. You know how sometimes you can get in your head and convince yourself that a dish you’ve never tried is going to be really difficult to get right?… Well, I was completely off base […]
