If you listen closely, this special tart almost seems to sing “spring is here!” It may look super involved, but many of the same ingredients you’ll use in different ways, for various components, so give it a try. I’ll likely use this recipe to develop new combinations, so stay stocked on the agar agar if […]

Raspberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Every month from here on out for 2019, I’ll be making and sharing a new recipe video for my Good Food Cooking Club. GFCC encourages home cooks to make at least one new recipe per month—a totally doable challenge that will taste good and feel good. It’s free to join GFCC, and you can participate […]
Mixed Berry Cobbler
I hosted my very first Good Food Cooking Club at home last weekend and I’m happy to say, it exceeded expectations. Since the first menu dropped on January 1, I’ve had a blast getting to know everyone who has been “at the table”—they’ve been super enthusiastic and very creative with the menu: turning muffins into […]
The Best Homemade Chocolate (Dairy-Free)
I love options in everything, especially when it comes to recipes since… 1.) I can’t follow a recipe to save my life 2.) My food mood is always changing and… 3.) I prefer to play with ingredients I have on hand. These reasons pretty much are the entire catalyst for my new book YumUniverse Pantry […]
One Part Plant’s Coconut Date Pinwheels (Cookbook Giveaway!)
This is the second time I’m writing this post. But I’d probably write it up 100x for the gal it’s about. See, I woke up this morning ready to share what I wrote up a few days ago only to discover that my hosting provider deleted the original post while trying to sort out something […]
Easy Homemade Nutella
During party-time days in Chicago, my pals and I used to make a staple food we called “peanut butter tacos.” We’d throw a few tortillas over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side and then we’d slather on some peanut butter, a bit of jelly, roll it up, scarf it down, and repeat. These days, I […]
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Bark
I’m getting ready to head to holiday festivities at my Dad’s place, complete with my super squeezable twin nephews (Gah!), but I wanted to share a simple treat that has been making life easy, festive, and tasty all week. So, along with Minimalist Baker’s 5-Ingredient Peppermint Patties, I’ve been whipping up boatloads of this simple, gluten-free Dark Chocolate Peppermint […]
Minimalist Baker’s 5-Ingredient Peppermint Patties
Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking released months ago, but I’m so excited and grateful that Dana is letting me share one of my favorite simple recipes from her gorgeous book with you just in time for the holidays (ahem, her book makes a great gift!). They’re the perfect treat to bring to parties, to pack up in a cute […]
Autumn Sweet Potato & Carrot Crisp (gluten-free, dairy-free)
I feel like Autumn came on really quickly. Really. Quickly. One day I was sweating on a sunny hike and the next I was back into the hot-tea-all-day and big socks routine. The seasonal change has me craving more substantial foods like roots and tubers—creamy soups, and sweeter treats, which I think is the body’s way […]
Easy Earl Grey Ice Cream (Dairy-Free)
I’m in full-blown recipe-testing mode for the second YumUniverse book these next few weeks. The clock. is. officially. ticking. Elephant-sized anxiety bullies and shouts that I actually should be in the kitchen right now instead of writing this post, but—deep breath—instead, I woke up this morning, put my running shoes on, ignored the you-only-have-30-days-left-and-73-recipes-left-to-test-what-the-hell-are-you-doing-get-your-butt-into-the-kitchen voice and just walked away […]
