Normally I don’t apologize for not […]

Happy September! Instead of feeling like a transition from summer into fall, this week’s CSA share has a hot weather bent for sure. Between soccer and the beach I’ve been outdoors more than usual this weekend, so the idea of juicy summer produce is really appealing. The season’s last nectarines and an early crop of […]

These photos are from Thursday, but I’ve been running around like crazy! After I picked up our CSA share, I zoomed home, took photos, then hopped on Twitter for #healthylife chat. Then it was off to Sea Rocket Bistro for a special prix fixe menu in honor of the charming Hank Shaw who was in […]

easy lemon almond cupcakes

Summer! Yes, I know it’s beastly hot in the rest of the country — not so much here. We did finally have some 80+ degree days in the last few weeks, however, and the summer produce is loving it. Tomatoes and peppers are finally changing colors, we’re seeing fewer root vegetables, and stacks of squash […]

healthy vegetarian breakfast: kale, potatoes, and eggs

Are you a sweet or savory breakfast person? I have a huge sweet tooth, and for years I ate starch for breakfast: bowls of cold cereal, french toast, pancakes, waffles, pastries… I was ravenous when I woke up, and without fail, I was ravenous again three to four hours later. All those carbs went tearing […]
