Chocolate-Avocado Mousse
February 2, 2013
My friend Lexie has always told me about this amazing, dairy-free chocolate mousse she makes. For the past couple of years, I’ve been dying to try it, but I still hadn’t tried it until NOW. As we firmed up our dinner plans for tonight — I’m having a vegetarian, gluten-
Sophia’s Greek Yogurt with Kale Pesto and a Poached Egg
January 20, 2013
How funny to have a breakfast so reminiscent of summer on an uncharacteristically warm January day. The sweet, fragrant basil was a treat I happily transformed into my old standby, kale pesto, as I promised myself to get a basil plant for the kitchen next time I see one. Sophia’s
Welcoming Autumn
September 23, 2012
And all of a sudden, it’s fall. Bring on the hearty, comforting dishes. I’m shocked, but nevertheless ready for hikes, pumpkins, cider, toasty nights, boots and sweaters — and the inevitable hibernation after this crazy busy, fun year.Everything is changing so quickly this season. Or maybe it just snuck up
Beet Sauerkraut Grilled Cheese with Garden Veggies

I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to go out in the backyard, pick a few things, and voila – a meal. This is so tasty and easy once you have the sauerkraut on hand, and super fresh if you have good access to local summer produce! I just
Grilled Swordfish with Wild Blueberry Chutney, and Other Meals for Visitors
August 17, 2012
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!) I can’t get over how incredible this summer has been. This past week, friends from a semester in Costa Rica flew up to visit,
Rosemary-Duckfat Baked Zucchini Chips
August 7, 2012
This is a great way to turn more veggies into a savory, crunchy snack, especially when you get inundated with squash this time of year. Consider your oven space before making these, since you will need to keep the slices to one layer. Otherwise, if you pile them on top
Green Pepper, Pancetta, and Egg Flowers
July 28, 2012
I saw this idea a while back on Pinterest, and it looked so fun! I impatiently waited until finally, fresh peppers were available from my CSA share this week! It was time to act. This is a really fun take on the egg-in-hole toast, but will veggies instead of bread.
Garlic-Scape Stuffed Burger with Tsaziki Sauce
June 24, 2012
I’m on a bit of a home-cooked burger kick right now. I love me a good burger, and buy my meat in bulk from a farm store that has great deals on bulk chicken and grass-fed beef. So, here’s another Sunday night burger, perfect for summer. This is a super
Father’s Day Grass-Fed Burgers with Green Garlic Aioli
June 19, 2012
Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thank you for all you’ve done for me, and for instilling your love of food in me. Not sure if I’d be doing this without you! If you continue to help taste test, I’ll continue to experiment. We had a fairly low-key Father’s Day, since we
