Mango & Greens Smoothie
I see smooth bright beautiful green smoothies on other food blogs and am overwhelmed by jealousy over one thing: Vitamix! I don’t even have a proper blender.

Fuchsia Beet Juice
I usually call all of my veggie juices “green juice,” no matter what their color is. But just look at this! It had to be re-named. And there’s nothing to it!

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Pesto
I am so excited about this recipe – not just because it’s yummy, but because it was born of me trying to use up some leftovers, and it came together so well. Last week I was out of town visiting my parents. Before I left, I went through my fridge and used up what […]

Artichokes with Rosemary-Garlic Mayonnaise
This doesn’t even qualify as a recipe. I just needed to show how easy it is to microwave an artichoke in a fraction of the time it takes to boil or steam one. It’s ridiculously easy and sooooo delicious. And in the few minutes that it’s cooking away in the microwave, you can whip up […]
