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. When we lived in Brooklyn, summers were really challenging: It would be 95 degrees, and I'd drag both twins and all their gear and snacks in a stroller to the local public park sprinklers, often only to find whoever was … Continue reading Tomato and Olive Farro Salad
Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers & Spinach Pesto Pasta
I love being a member of our local CSA. It provides the freshest local produce, and it forces me to get inventive with the ingredients because, well, there is only so much kale salad a person wants to eat (or at least, that my husband wants to eat). Spinach is an early, recurring item in … Continue reading Grilled Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers & Spinach Pesto Pasta
Roasted Salmon With Tomato Caper Vinaigrette
As you know now, I am a late in life fan of salmon. But, despite all its amazing health qualities, it can feel like a heavy meal. It's rich and full of all those great, healthy omega fats. But, especially once the weather gets warmer in the spring and summer, I want a lighter spin … Continue reading Roasted Salmon With Tomato Caper Vinaigrette
Southwestern Quinoa Bowls With Grilled Vegetables
I am pretty darn lucky in the friend department. Wherever I have lived, I've managed to score the nicest mom friends. 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”
Sesame Marinated Chicken Thighs & Sesame Noodles
I don't know how you do it. You moms out there with multiple children enrolled in multiple sports that have multiple practices and multiple games every week. Amazing. My hat is off to you. Me? My kids can each pick one or two activities that each require one time slot per week. And, quite frankly, … Continue reading Sesame Marinated Chicken Thighs & Sesame Noodles
Baked Salmon With Soy Marinade
I consider myself a foodie, but, let me be honest, it took me a while to become a fan of salmon. Turns out, most of the times I have tried it, it was overcooked, which makes it super fishy. Then, at a favorite French restaurant in Brooklyn, the chef, a friend of mine, insisted I … Continue reading Baked Salmon With Soy Marinade
Sausage, Peppers, & Potato (& Arugula) Salad
I'd be lying if I said that I can eat with impunity the way that I used to be able to eat. Despite running every day, despite taking strength & conditioning classes with some of the best trainers around, despite all of that-- nowadays I need to be more mindful of what I eat or … Continue reading Sausage, Peppers, & Potato (& Arugula) Salad
