Happy first day of autumn, 2022. I’m excited to kick off my fall recipes with this radicchio salad. Radicchio is a leafy chicory widely used in Italy; varieties are named after the Italian region from which they originate. Treviso radicchio, used in this recipe, looks similar to an endive and has a bitter flavor that […]

Wishful thinking had me telling my toddler that her lunch was indeed pizza, and not, ahem, a vegetable tart sprinkled with green things. The layer of cheese did little to convince her to even try one bite, but the joke was on me, because ever since she developed culinary opinions she has matter of factly […]

I am not above eating cake for breakfast (with a hot cup of coffee, of course) and certainly not above eating cake masquerading as a muffin. But in all seriousness, these are not cake, yet I find them equally hard to resist. Whole wheat flour, oats, ground flaxseeds, and wheat germ are the delicious and […]

Let me say a very heartfelt thank you to all of you who followed along with my recipes this year.

If you have ever spiked your eggnog, this drink is for you. If you don’t like eggnog, this drink is still for you (spoiler: […]

Winter salads often feel uninspiring, like the unwanted step-sister to the glory that is spring and summer salads. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Every December I try to come up with a festive salad that you’d actually be excited to make and eat. Here are the holiday salads for 2016, 2017, 2018, […]

I love rolls as much as the next person; amongst my favorites are these and these. Armed with a good pep talk (or tantalizing photos of buttery rolls) I am usually able to convince myself that making yeasted breads are worth the effort. But on Thanksgiving I throw in the towel and give up any […]

I love cauliflower, but honestly this recipe is all about the topping for me (I often eat it by the spoonful). Ever since I tried Joshua McFadden’s cauliflower steaks from his cookbook, Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables*, I became determined to make my own fall-inspired version for Thanksgiving. My first iteration of this […]

Now that Halloween is over it feels like we’ve just stepped onto a slip ‘n slide and are speeding towards Thanksgiving. One pattern I’ve noticed is that many families seem to be doing something slightly different than the “traditional” dinner this year. If that is you, more power to you; there’s no rule book saying […]
