Cozy Lemon Rice Soup
This Lemon Rice Soup is pure comfort. There’s no other way to say it. It’s the perfect balance of creamy, lemony, peppery, fresh, herby deliciousness. Best served with warm, crusty bread for dipping. Fresh herbs = fresh flavor. My favorite part of this soup is the fresh herbs. Parsley and oregano are two of my…
Read More20-Minute Vegetable Paella
Want to make paella at home but are intimidated? Here’s a supremely simple vegetable paella that’s perfect for entertaining and full of Spanish flavor. It’s not a fully authentic paella, but more of a “cheater’s” paella because I’ve been wanting to develop one that’s a little more accessible for everyday use. Smoky, earthy, and delicious.…
Read MoreBuffalo Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
This meal is thanks to my slight obsession with buffalo sauce. These buffalo chickpea stuffed sweet potatoes are the perfect combination of sweet, tangy and spicy. They make for an easy option for a hearty meal during the week, and you can even prep ahead by baking your sweet potatoes in advance and reheating as…
Read MoreThai Noodles with Peanut Sauce
Well, it’s still winter. This beauty, like most of my favorite recipes, was born from the need to clean-out-the-fridge so that I didn’t need to leave my house on a frigid afternoon to push a grocery cart through slush. And I must admit this version of Thai noodles far exceeded my expectations on their own,…

Even if you hate football (no judgment, obviously), I feel like pretty much everyone can get on board with a good Super Bowl get together. The Super Bowl is probably the greatest eating day of the year aside from Thanksgiving, and one can never have too many recipe ideas for the occasion. My specialty here…

The combination of sweet caramelized potatoes and crunchy garlic infused broccoli is straight up delightful, and…
Read More10-Minute Curried Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower “rice” is hot right now. In part because cauliflower rice can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone, regardless of whatever fancy program they happen to be following (paleo, gluten-free, plant-based, keto) but most likely because it’s ridiculously easy to make. There’s less than 10 minutes of actual cook time and this entire masterpiece only requires…
Read MoreArugula Orange Winter Salad
One last recipe for your holiday spread! The combination of tart-sweet pomegranate and clementines, peppery arugula, crispy red onion, and crunchy toasted almonds is heavenly, and the slightly tangy taste of fresh goat cheese adds the perfect finishing touch to this bright, fancy salad. All of these flavors are subtly enhanced with a dressing of…
Read MoreCreamy White Bean Dip with Roasted Garlic
If you like hummus even half as much as I do, you’re definitely going to lose your mind over this dip. It’s got fresh herbs, boasts plenty of health benefits, and happens to be rather striking. Plus, the deliciousness magically comes together quickly. Just roast the garlic, blitz it in a food processor with white…
Read MoreKale Salad With Brussels Sprouts, Apples & Maple Walnuts
Nowadays, kale salad gets knocked as cliché and overexposed. But when I first started making this recipe for a Thanksgiving menu years ago, it made perfect sense. The basic formula—thinly shredded kale and Brussels sprouts, pungent dressing, savory cheese, and crunchy nuts—makes a refreshing option on plates piled high with stuffing, gravy and sweet potatoes.…
