I’m one of those people who never got into the coffee habit. On a roadtrip I’ll have one, if I’m traveling somewhere special I’ll have one (or 50 of them—I’m looking at you, Melbourne), and if it’s in ice cream, yes please. But coffee isn’t something I have to have to start my day. You […]

Fermented Golden Beets
The 8-year-old-I-hate-all-veggies-and-will-sit-at-the-dinner-table-all-night-long-in-defiance girl inside me is so rolling her eyes over the fact that I’m writing up a post about beets. And not just any beets, fermented beets! But she better learn to respect her elders because they know what time it is. I can’t believe I ever had a time in my life where […]
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 […]
Chickpea “Tofu,” Tahini & Seared Kale Wrap
A few weeks ago I shared the game-changer that is chickpea tofu. Today, I want to share one of my favorite ways to eat chickpea tofu—pan-fried and loaded into a wrap with a quick and easy garlic-tahini sauce, a little red onion, seared kale, and fresh lemon. If you have some Sriracha or harissa, sprinkle some of that […]
Easy Fermented Garlic & Basil Tomatoes
It’s no secret that I love me some fermented foods, for benefits, for flavor, honestly, for the fun of it. There’s something empowering about reconnecting with ancient, traditional methods of preserving and enhancing the benefits of our food. Early this past spring, I brought a tiny green zebra tomato seedling home from the Farmers’ market […]
Spiced, Easy Elderberry Syrup for Cold & Flu Prevention
I looove playing with herbs, infusions, oils, and tinctures, combos for home cleaning and air freshening, oven cleaning, natural bug repellents, natural beauty products for everything from bathing to blush to balms—witchy good stuff. Nature provides so much of what we need to be balanced, happy, and healthy… This summer, a pal of mine who’s a […]
Chipotle Citrus-Marinated Maitake Tacos
This is a food-as-medicine post for sure. Maitake mushrooms also known as“Dancing Mushroom,” Hen-of-the-Wood, Sheep’s Head or Ram’s Head mushrooms, tend to grown in clusters at the base of oak trees. And these pretty babies are absolutely loaded with beneficial nutrients and medicinal properties… Maitake is a really delicious mushroom to try. It’s good food that’s rich […]
Easy Lemon Granola
It’s great with Almond Milk, it’s great with Coconut Yogurt, it’s great eaten as a snack on it’s own—homemade granola takes a few minutes to prepare and can be easily adapted to create all sorts of flavor combinations. This recipe for Easy Lemon Granola will get you started and hooked on the habit of making your […]
Chipotle Cabbage & Radish Slaw
I have loads of mixing bowls in my kitchen, and while I use them for mixing ingredients for recipes all the time, I use them just as much to house a ginormous salad for dinner. You can really “dig in” to a big bowl salad, tossing all the goodness together and then go to town. […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Thin Mints
I’m having a lot of fun with the Vega #OneChange campaign. Last week I made some protein-packed Chai Oatmeal for those of YU who tend to skip breakfast, and this week, I’m sharing a fun, guilt-free recipe for YU Weekend Splurgers. Girl Scout cookie time is a few months away, but you can get your […]
