A few weeks ago I had the best pumpkin curry soup from the Whole Foods soup bar. The moment I tasted this soup I knew I wanted to make it myself so I snapped a pic of the ingredients list. Thank you Whole Foods for posting this! After a few rounds of testing a I […]
This is a great recipe that I make for a my family and clients every week.Start with old fashioned rolled oats (I always use Bob’s Red Mill because I love their products and really respect their founder and CEO Bob Moore. I listened to a episode of How I Built This on NPR featuring Bob […]
Citrus fruits have so many uses for cooking beyond simply peeling and eating. They are by far the most utilized fruit group in my kitchen. I use lemon, lime and orange in some form or another almost everyday. From dressings, marinades and sauces, to zest when I want intense citrus flavor, or a squeeze here […]
I’ve made chicken like this for many years now. I learned this technique during my restaurant days. Servers would tend to our tables until the moment we heard the expediter yell “RUNNERS PLEASE!” then we’d drop everything and rush to the line to wait while Chef meticulously added his finishing touches.

I’ve eaten eggs for breakfast every day until recently when doing a detox that required me have a liquid breakfast. I was super skeptical that a smoothie would get me through the morning without a hangry meltdown, but I’m an all or nothing kind of gal, so tried it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised how filling […]

When we started house hunting last year, we made a list of things we wanted in a house, mostly deal-breakers like a garage, a spare bedroom, […]

Guacamole is always a good decision, but it’s really the perfect snack to bring to the 4th of July BBQ you’re heading to tomorrow, or […]
The last two months have been a blurry adventure! On March 21st our daughter Mila, came into the world. Words cannot express the joy and awe we’ve felt in her presence these last 60 days. I felt the deepest love and infatuation imaginable and the most frustrated, anxious and overwhelmed in the same day. It’s […]
If you’re a regular reader you know how much I love Mediterranean food, and when it comes to hummus there’s no exception. In my opinion hummus is one of the best tasting and healthiest condiments of all time. The first time I tried making hummus myself I was amazed at how easy it was, especially […]
A few years ago a friend of mine requested I make no-bake cookies for her bridal shower. At that point I’d never heard of “no-bakes” and had to do a little research to make sure I make the right thing. There’s a handful of different techniques for making them, some more traditional recipes call for […]
