Asparagus & "Bacon" Risotto with Melon
This is my twist on the recipe that made me love asparagus – a grilled asparagus and melon salad, with prosciutto and mozzarella. That salad recipe was the first taste I had of asparagus and melon together, and I’m still shocked at how wonderfully they pair together. They’re both also great with the smoky flavor […]

Basil Berry Jam
I never knew how easy it was to make your own jam until I made this Giada De Laurentiis recipe for blackberry basil jam. It was delicious and so easy. So when I went on some crazy berry-buying-bender last week out of sheer excitement for so many delicious smelling berries in the middle […]

Roasted Tomato & Pesto Panzanella Salad
This is my favorite way to eat tomatoes. Truth is, I really don’t like them. I never have. I was searching for tomato recipes, trying to find some that I actually enjoyed. And when I found this one, I was thrilled — loads of garlic and balsamic flavors. I don’t even remember where I found […]

Spiced & Spiked Cardamom Tea

Super Spicy Chilaquiles
There used to be a Mexican food stand at my local farmer’s market that made the most amazing chilaquiles. They’d take a big bowl of chips, throw them on this huge screaming hot griddle, pour loads of salsa verde on top and toss the chips and salsa around together. Piled on top was onions […]

Tofu Scramble Nests
I’m making tofu scramble nests today as a kind of veganization of an awesome old breakfast favorite! One of my favorite weekend morning breakfasts pre-vegan days were these delicious baked eggs in baskets by Sunny Anderson. Her recipe creates adorable “baskets” out of shredded potatoes, which she bakes an egg in, and then tops […]
