Breakfast

Heirloom Tomato Toast

Finally: tomato season is in full swing!  The farmer’s market is bursting with the most beautiful array of heirloom tomatoes and I want to use them on everything. Besides simple summer salads & no-cook sauces, toast is my favorite way to eat tomatoes this time of year.  They don’t need much – just some garlic, olive oil […]

Blueberry & Ricotta Skillet Cake

Summer fruit is giving me life these days. Whether it’s raw, baked or preserved, I truly can’t get enough. This blueberry ricotta cake is the perfect way to highlight summer berries & serve a gorgeous, crowd-pleasing sweet. While it’s technically a “cake”, we highly suggest you give it a try for breakfast. After all, summer’s […]

Waffle Bar Party

I’m a big fan of brunch as one of the most fun times to invite friends over for a meal. It always feels way more laid-back than a dinner party, and everyone arrives feeling relaxed and happy after sleeping in that morning. For the first post in our series with Blue Diamond Almonds, I decided to organize […]

Vanilla Chia Pudding with Honey & Berries

It’s that time of year where I avoid “cooking” at all costs. The weather here in NYC has been in the 80’s and humid, so the last thing that’s on my mind is the warmth of a hot oven. These days, breakfasts have been refreshing and quick – smoothies, yogurt, granola, and the like. This chia pudding […]

Strawberry Thyme Yogurt

Strawberry season has come early this year and I can’t get enough. I love them most when raw, so over greek yogurt is always a great, easy option. But for just a little more effort (and a lot more flavor), strawberries are also amazing when macerated with a savory herb, like thyme or rosemary. It makes […]

Simple Spring Scramble

The markets are filled with amazing Spring produce and I couldn’t be more excited. Now that it’s finally warming up and feeling like Summer, all I want to eat are raw vegetables. There’s nothing like a good scramble, especially when it’s packed with vibrant, green things. This one is super tasty & features my favorite […]

Savory Zucchini-Parmesan Waffles

Will it waffle? I’m only now discovering what an important question this is. I love discovering new uses for my kitchen tools—the slow cooker, the pressure cooker, the blender, and the rice cooker have all been the source of new culinary discoveries this year. But what about the waffle iron? A quick internet search led […]

Herbed Goat Cheese & Radish Tartines

I am (and have always been) the biggest fan of toast. To me, it’s the most perfect and versatile blank canvas to satisfy hunger at any time of day. Whether topped with avocado, eggs or something a little sweeter – a piece of toast provides endless opportunities for experimentation. On busy mornings, there’s no faster breakfast […]

No-Bake Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk Granola Bars

I rarely leave home without a granola bar tossed in my bag, but I’m not a big fan of the processed ingredients and refined sugars that are in most of them. So lately I’ve been really into making my own, and when I hit upon some of the great no-bake versions out there, I started tooling around […]

Pesto & Goat Cheese Frittata

Brunch is my favorite meal for entertaining, and not just because I love breakfast food so much. It’s a chance to have a slow-paced, leisurely start to the day with the ones you love. It also doesn’t hurt to have bottomless coffee and perhaps a glass of prosecco!My go-to is usually something baked in the oven, like […]

Sea Salt & Olive Oil Granola

I truly love homemade granola. It’s always so much better (and cheaper) than store-bought and makes your house smell amazing. The options are really endless with the different fruits, nuts, grains and seeds you can throw in, and the best part? Almost any variation will taste amazing. There’s nothing better than having a batch of homemade […]

Easter Egg Pancakes

Lately I’ve started letting Phoebe “help out” in the kitchen: she was my devoted sous chef on last weekend’s pizza dough, and she singlehandedly added all the ingredients to a batch of zucchini muffins the other day. It definitely gets messy and undoubtedly takes longer than if I just cook something myself, but we have […]

Raw Kale Caesar with Beet Microgreens & Poached Egg

Raw kale caesar salads are one thing I never tire of. They’re hearty with a great bite & brightness making them the most satisfying meal ever.  I like mine with a few hippie add-ons and poached egg for breakfast (or anytime of day). This almond caesar dressing is naturally dairy-free, but has the bold, zingy flavor that every […]
