Happy Holiday weekend! I hope you are going to have a relaxing few days. Perhaps some of you are on spring break. I am in the home stretch of my manuscript, still working full-time and I have a television appearance today, sooooo I am only doing desserts for the holiday this year. My segment on ...
Dinner Planner – Week of April 15th, 2019
It's a big week if you're hosting either Easter or Passover next weekend. My mother always hosts Easter dinner in NY and I have the best memories of coloring eggs, making the traditional Italian pizza rustica and pastiera, hiding eggs, and of course all the candy in my Easter basket. My husband's ...
Nut-free Flourless Fallen Chocolate Cake (Passover-friendly)
I was making my usual to-do list of Passover desserts the other day, and I realized that all of them contained nuts, mostly in the form of almond meal. I am not hosting Passover dinner this year, but I am making all the desserts for both seders at my mother-in-law's house and we do have someone ...
Dinner Planner – Week of April 8th, 2019
I took a Spring Break from the blog this week. I traveled to Dallas to see my babies and then to the east coast to see my parents and sisters. I am feverishly working on finishing my book. (Although if my editor is reading this, JK! I'm almost done!) So something had to give. My last book was ...
Dinner Planner – Week of April 1st, 2019
I'm on Spring Break this week! My husband, son and I are visiting the girls in Dallas this weekend. I always teach a private class at my good friend Lisa's house while I am in town, as well. And then my son and I will go East to see my family for a few days. Sooooo, I'm not really cooking much ...
Spiced Chickpea Stew with Coconut and Turmeric
This stew was an innocent dinner last week. I saw my friend Leanne post a photo of this stew on her Instagram feed and it looked delicious, vegan, flavorful, easy, everything I like and the way my family eats. She mentioned she found the recipe in the NY Times. Well, what she didn't tell me was ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 25th, 2019
Happy Spring! This is a wonderful time of year. It is Nature's New Year, a fresh start, a rebirth, a time to clean the slate (and everything else.) If 2019 didn't get off to a good start, now's the time to set new intentions. The universe is listening. :) For my friends in Orange County and ...
Fudgy Black Bean Brownies with Chocolate Ganache
When I taught this black bean brownie recipe in February of 2009 (yes, 10 years ago!), the idea was trending so much that I thought the recipe would get lost in all the black bean brownie hysteria. But just like fashion, sometimes trends make a comeback or sometimes when you take something out of ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 18th, 2019
Happy weekend, friends! For those of you in LA or Orange County, I will be doing a free cooking demonstration at the GORGEOUS Rogers Gardens in Corona del Mar on Sunday, March 17th at 10:00 am. They also have lots of my cookbooks for purchase and I will stay after the demonstration to sign copies. ...
Raw Tacos Recipe
I need you to be open-minded about this one. ;) First off, by "raw tacos" I do not mean raw animal protein. That would be ridiculous and awful. I mean a raw, plant-based taco-like mixture that is super quick and easy to prep, healthy and, I think, delicious! ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 11th, 2019
This was the first year in a while that I have not gone to Expo West, the gigantic natural foods show which is happening right now in Anaheim. Truthfully, the show is so overwhelming with about 90,000 people (not an exaggeration) and it's all packaged food. It's not to say that there can't be ...
