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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Easy Chickpea “Tofu”
I was goofing around with chickpea tofu over a year ago and never got around to posting my discoveries. This morning though, I revisited my recipe and simplified the process quite a bit. So, the silver lining is that it’s good I didn’t post the first more involved version, right? Ha. Timing. You can use chickpea […]
Creamy Roasted Poblano & Sweet Corn Chowder
My garden is ready to be prepped for winter, but the poblano peppers are still going strong! And so are a few of my green zebra tomatoes—they all want me to wait a little bit longer. Last week I was able to bring in quite the bowlful of these poblano beauties, and my brain instantly went to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Roasted Garlic Basil Pesto Potatoes with Arugula from “Oh She Glows Everyday” + A Giveaway
I finally had to face the music and come home after a one-week-turned-two-week trip to the beach recently, but right after I pulled up to the house, and shuffled inside (still barefoot) I was so very happy to find Angela Liddon’s gorgeous second book waiting for me! I immediately put my legs up and started flipping through drool-worthy photo […]
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 […]
Garlic-Roasted Radishes with Meyer Lemon
When I buy a bunch of radishes, I use a few to garnish tacos, to brighten salads and make some kimchi, but there are usually a handful left that I don’t get to in time. While I always tend to eat them raw, I thought I’d give them a try roasted. Wow. What a happy surprise—the flavor is delicious and […]
