Smoky Sweet Potato + Black Bean Chili
Enough already, Old Man Winter! A forecast that calls for a high of 20 degrees plus 14″of snow is a call to arms. Only the heartiest, most rib-sticking dishes need enlist for the task. And there’s just something about chili — it’s so versatile and satisfying. Ground beef, you’re not invited to this party. But…
Read MorePesto Pizza (vegan)
Can you say crowd pleaser? Combining two of my favorite meals (pizza + salad) into one fabulous dish just delights me. I must admit, I had never really considered putting salad on pizza. That is, until I had a bunch of arugula laying around (along with some butternut squash). I tried it on a whim…
Read MoreDark Chocolate Peppermint Patties
Oh My Heavens. Do you remember the Peppermint Pattie commercials from the 80′s? “When I eat a York Peppermint Pattie, I get the sensation…” It hit me the other day that I miss the sensation. You know what I am talking about. Creamy & Minty. Soft & Chewy. So I decided to recreate them and…
Read MoreMediterranean Pasta
Meatless yes. Tasteless never. This was a dinner I whipped up after a very long (and grotesquely cold) day last week. It was a very quick, spontaneous recipe that ended up, thank goodness, being quite tasty. Steamy pasta topped with a rich garlic fire roasted tomato sauce and loads of veggies. I sigh with happiness.…

Read MoreHoliday Granola
This year, I chose to give the gift of holiday granola to the many people that I adore. Why granola? Well, first of all, why not? slightly sweet + crunchy + coconut = good enough to eat plain by the handful. you get me. And may I make a gentle suggestion? If you are able…

We’re all in the thick of it. Work parties, celebrations with friends, family gatherings and a whole heck of a lot of food. It’s everywhere.
