Easy, fresh, 5-ingredient beet salad with lemon & mint. Perfect in the summer (or switch the fresh mint to dried herbs in the winter), the salad is naturally vegan and Paleo-friendly. I love beets. My husband does not. We have nevertheless managed to make our marriage work. And yet, he now likes–make that really likes–this …

When I want chocolate that’s all comfort–the familiar flavor of childhood–a chunk of candy just won’t cut it. I get out the bowls, measuring cups and spoons and start to bake. Even when it’s 90 (humid!) degrees outside and I recently returned from my Sunday long run. But if the results were brownie-rich, double-chocolate …
It happens more times than I can count that my new favorite recipes are ones thrown together on the fly with what’s on hand. Add this Winter Tabbouleh to the list. A friend sent a message Thursday night inviting us to come to a “Friendsgiving” get-together on Friday before everyone heads out of town or …
Peas and mint can convey spring, but this salad is my idea of a super-simple, late autumn to early winter salad. Much as I enjoy tender greens and lettuces, they lose their appeal when it’s chilly outside. But I still want some fresh vegetable flavor and crunch to brighten everyday lunches and dinners. Enter in …
I love a hearty salad–beans, grains, lentils, mixed vegetables, whole grain pasta–when it’s a million degrees outside. With a few minutes of effort, I have delicious eats for quick mini-meals or snacks for several days. Even a petite bowl-ful is infinitely more satisfying than a handful of dry crackers or watery “baby” carrots. This beautiful …
Is lunch a challenging meal for anyone else out there? I can do a great, healthy breakfast before I’m fully conscious–for example, a green smoothie, egg or tofu scramble, or multigrain toast with PB&J or some smashed avocado. But lunch? I’m a mess. Largely because I fail to plan. But also because I forget. Even …
Oh, hi there Spring. It’s great to see you. I had my doubts if and when you would ever get here. Would it kill you to call? Text? Shoot an email?< But you’re here now and that’s all that matters. I have to say, you look great; you’ve really got a knack for color. I …
As promised, here is the grain salad I mentioned in yesterday’s post: an easy brown rice salad. I love rice salads, in large part thanks to my mother who has several in her repertoire. The cooked grains soak up so much flavor–whatever the dressing you choose, the results will be delicious (for days). It’s a …

It is vegan, high in protein, and both easy & frugal to make. 4-Ingredient Split Pea & Green Pea Soup I’m giddy with Olympic fever, and following the visions of snow-capped mountains night after night (oh, Canada…) I’ve had …
I need to have a t-shirt made for my husband that reads as follows: “My Wife Went to NYC, and All I Got Was 3 Bags of Quinoa” It’s true, and, in retrospect, pitiful. But it wasn’t pre-meditated. I had a very quick trip to New York city last week to film a Pepperidge Farm …
