We're winding down from a fun and somewhat crazy summer over here. Lots of visits with friends, backyard barbecues, patio parties, and as usual, THE BEST, apple cider doughnuts around (Thanks, Chichester General Store in Chichester, NH!). You guys, there were even chocolate chip pancakes as big as our faces! So, as we gear up … Continue reading Radish & Baby Kale Farro Salad
Quinoa Tabbouleh
I discovered my love for tabbouleh when we were living back in Brooklyn, and I had unlimited access to some of the very best Middle Eastern food around. Two of my favorite local spots made versions of it that I loved- one made it with more parsley than bulgher wheat while the other was heavier … Continue reading Quinoa Tabbouleh
Tomato and Olive Farro Salad
One of the biggest perks of living in our town is the beautiful community pool.

Spinach is an early, recurring item in … Continue reading Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers & Spinach Pesto Pasta

The kind of friends who will bring one of your kids to school so that the other sick kid doesn't have to get dragged out of the house. The kind of friends who will … Continue reading Southwestern Quinoa Bowls With Grilled Vegetables
Grilled Vegetable “Lasagna”
As soon as we get warm weather, I begin to rely heavily upon my grill for easy, healthy dinners. Of course, I make your normal things like grilled chicken and turkey burgers, but I also try to get a bit inventive. This recipe came about ages ago, back when my husband and I lived in … Continue reading Grilled Vegetable “Lasagna”
