I’ve been meaning to make something from Anya Kassoff’s cookbook, Simply Vibrant for too long now. This book has been by my side since it arrived… at my desk, in my kitchen, but if you follow along here, you know that I was in a bit of a creative cooking rut in 2018. But things […]

Mississippi Vegan’s Spaghetti Pie with Summer Squash
I officially met Timothy Pakron, author of Mississippi Vegan, last Fall at a very special book-release dinner party for him hosted by Erin Barrett from Sunwoven Studios and Jessica Murnane from One Part Plant. Tim made a beautiful meal for us—gumbo, shiitake bacon, rice, biscuits, roasted cauliflower, and cobbler for dessert that we à la moded, […]
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 […]
Pretty Citrus Juice
A few years ago, I started making blood orange juice when I hosted brunches and breakfasts. It’s a real show-stopper that makes your guests feel special, and loved. It’s also great for cocktail parties. All you need is a juicer of some kind: a vintage workhorse like mine, a hand-held, a masticating, or yeah, your […]
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 […]
Cardamom Pepita Milk (Dairy-Free)
I’m finally getting my recipe developing groove back after the debacle with my host provider a few weeks ago. Turns out when I got back from NY, I realized that they deleted a bunch of already written and posted content (gah!) and too many drafted recipes to count—which means months of measurements, photos, testing hours, and […]
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 […]
Old Bay Chickpea Fries with Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce
I’m having a lot of fun goofing around with chickpea flour these past few months. I’ve made “tofu” out of it, a tasty Garlic-Tahini Wrap with it, and now: Fries! The Marylander in me had to season them with Old Bay which is heaven dipped into sweet, homemade Honey-Mustard Sauce. With final deadlines closing in for […]
Carrot & Coriander Bisque & Blissful Basil Book Giveaway
I can’t remember where I saw it, but in a feed somewhere I read that this time in our history will be known as “The Great Awakening”… and this comforted me. Thinking that most of the collective uncertainty, disappointment, and disbelief many of us are feeling these days will ultimately lead us to important work and connection […]
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 […]
