Breakfast Obsessions

Bartavelle, you ruined me. So many delicious treats every single day. But you are 3,122 miles away, which is much too far a drive for my daily breakfast fix. I need my avocado toast and my Persian breakfast, so I’ll just have to make them in my kitchen, on the

Gluten-Free Mushroom & Potato Tartlets

This is going to be the start of a love affair between me and tarts. I just bought some mini tart pans, and they are so cute! (Sorry guys.) I’m pretty excited, and plan to make lots of tarts this winter, from savory to sweet. I broke in my tartlet

Bucheron, Brandied Figs, and a Baguette

Delicious Friday night snack. Baked bucheron (semi-aged/slightly firm goat’s milk cheese), my homemade brandied figs, and some warm, just out-of-the oven baguette. Just a bit of snacking inspiration for the weekend…  

Grilled Swordfish with Wild Blueberry Chutney, and Other Meals for Visitors

This post should have something for everyone, from vegans to paleo followers, and everyone in between. (Swordfish, lobster, veggie burgers, banana boat s’mores with homemade marshmallows!)

Rosemary-Duckfat Baked Zucchini Chips

Coconut Chia Seed Pudding

Yummy yummy coconut chia pudding – how can you be so easy to make?? I first saw chia seed pudding in a “healthy” edition of Food & Wine. Super quick preparation, tasty ingredients, and not to mention the added benefit of protein and vitamin packing chia seeds (in 3 tablespoons,

Cucumber Kale Power Juice

In honor of Mother’s Day, here’s a juice recipe adapted from something my mom found on The Well Daily. They have a really great mini kale cookbook which you can get when you sign up for their mailing list, with recipes from juices, to salads, sauteed dishes and more. I’m

Carrot & Beet Energizer

This juice is perfect to have mid-afternoon, when you’re dragging a bit and need a pick-me-up. It’s chock full of vitamins and antioxidants, so it’ll give you plenty of energy to finish your day strong. Although there is sugar in beets and carrots, it’s minimal and this will definitely keep

Green Lemonade

So, as some of you may know, I recently got a juicer and won’t shut up about it. I’ve honestly used it over 10 times since getting it less than a week ago. I’m just amazed at the yummy, healthy drinks I can make with it – and also the
