Carrot Orange & Red Pepper Soup
A simple soup that can be served hot or cold. It’s been a bit difficult to decide between warm weather soup and cold weather soup, our temperature here in Maine has fluctuated so much. I started out having this carrot soup warm the first day and then cold the next day. I’m thrilled to report…
Read MorePesto Pizza with Arugula, Artichokes & White Beans
Pizza is the ultimate comfort food. For this recipe, I decided to try the oh-so-popular Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower pizza crust and I was not disappointed! I’ve made cauliflower pizza dough from scratch several times but it’s a bit more tedious than I felt necessary at the end of a super busy week. If you’re…
Read MoreFingerling Potatoes, Greens, Garlic & Chickpeas
Potatoes remain my go-to comfort food. I love the simplicity, consistent deliciousness, flavor and texture. Plus, potatoes boast some pretty astounding health benefits. However, maybe you’ve been avoiding them, because of the “C” word. You know, carbohydrate. With all the talk about low-carb diets, some are convinced that potatoes, along with other starchy vegetables, are…
Read MoreChilaquiles Verdes with Baked Tortilla Chips
First things first. Let’s learn how to pronounce your new favorite dish. “Chee-la-key-lays”. You got it.

It was born as a clever way to revive yesterday’s tortillas and leftover salsa. Making chilaquiles from…
Read MorePea, Mint & Spring Onion Soup
Don’t wait, friends. You’ll need to get on this recipe while the spring produce is peaking and it’s still cool enough to eat soup without sweating in front of your air conditioner (here in Maine, we have a while…) This soup just happens to be loaded with two of my favorite spring offerings—peas and mint—plus…
Read MoreCoconut Blondie Bars
A perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack. I’ve mentioned that baking is definitely not my strong suit and based on my recipe archives, it’s pretty clear that I don’t do much of it. Which is why recently, my daughter dramatically professed how scarred she is by the lack of baked goods in our house and continued…
Read MoreAsparagus White Bean Avocado Salad
This salad is pretty glorious. First, it is a layered masterpiece in both the flavor and texture departments. The tender, slightly bitter arugula is tossed with creamy white beans, crispy roasted asparagus, peppery radish, buttery avocado, and topped with toasted pine nuts for added crunch. On the nutrition front, this salad is a winner, since…
Read MoreCreamy Chickpea Chowder
I panic at the thought of soup season coming to a close. Before it officially ends, I strongly encourage you to try this one. I mean, who doesn’t love a big steamy bowl of creamy, salty, sweet, chunky chowder? To be honest, I don’t even care what temperature it might be outside, I could eat…
Read MoreA Winter Detox Smoothie
This smoothie is simultaneously cleansing & hydrating. I love to drink smoothies year round, but if you tend to think of them as a warm weather beverage, this winter number is about to change your mind. Sweet, refreshing and satisfying, drinking this breakfast delight is like a vacation for your taste buds. Banana and blueberries are…
