'Tis the season for show-stopping recipes and I am bringing you another favorite (after last week's whole roasted cauliflower.) This one is inspired by the Persian "Jeweled Rice," aka Javaher Polow. As I understand it, Jeweled Rice is usually served at weddings, big family gatherings and even for ...
Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce, Raisins, Hazelnuts and Green Herbs
I love a showstopping dish for a holiday meal, whether it is a gorgeous and overflowing cheeseboard, a giant colorful salad brimming with jewel-toned, seasonal produce, a big, impressive dessert, or basically anything that makes my guests say "oooooh!" The trick is to make that recipe be ...
Dinner Planner – Week of December 3rd, 2018
Hanukkah is this Sunday and we have been invited to the home of some friends which means I am off the hook for making latkes on Sunday. Phew! Latkes, aka potato pancakes, are delish, but kind of annoying to make. I will make them on Friday for my family, but that's it. I planned a lighter dinner ...
The 2018 Holiday Gift Guide
'Tis the season of gifting and although I always feel as though I have enough and my loved ones have enough, it is always nice to show someone you care about them by making an effort to gift them something special. Gifts do not have to be fancy, trendy or expensive. In fact, my favorite gifts are ...
Vegan Lentil Shepherd’s Pie Recipe
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and that you enjoyed every moment with your loved ones. The food took a backseat to the time I spent with my three kids and my husband, as well as family and friends. Don't get me wrong, I love a delicious feast, but I was beyond grateful that we were all ...
Dinner Planner – Week of November 26th, 2018
I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving. We had a lovely holiday at home with some family and friends. The best part was cooking in the kitchen with all three of my kids. I didn't care what anything looked like, including myself LOL. I was just thrilled to be together with my babies. We are ...
Sumac-Spiced Chicken with Pomegranate Glaze Recipe
'Tis the season for entertaining! I know many people toss aside the clean eating when they invite friends over for a dinner party, but I am not that way. I love the opportunity to share healthy food with those I care about. And I also notice that more and more people are trying to eat "better" ...
Easy Tuna Dip Recipe
I don't usually post a Thanksgiving recipe this week because I like to assume we've all committed to our menus by this point! But I know something that I wouldn't turn down right now is a super fast, easy, healthful appetizer recipe that could be made with pantry staples in 5 minutes flat. Tell ...
Dinner Planner – Week of November 19, 2018
I just taught my last Thanksgiving class of the year and I am gearing up to start prepping for my own Thanksgiving. My daughters are coming home this week. Life is good. I don't need more than that. I am keeping the dinners easy this week because I never have enough time in the weeks leading up ...
Planning a Happy Thanksgiving 2018 – 1 week to go!
This post has been edited from the original which was published on November 17, 2011. It's always hard to accomplish your Thanksgiving tasks when you don't know how many people you're having over! I think I have the final count and we're only going to be 20 people this year, including my two ...
Roasted Vegetable Salad Recipe
I have been holding onto this recipe for sooooo long! It is one of my absolute favorite fall/winter salads and I have made it countless times over the last 2 years. I originally ate a similar salad at a cafe called Clementine in Century City (LA) and I knew that I would have to duplicate it at ...
