I met my husband's grandmother, who is now 103 years old and going strong, about 30 years ago. She had a habit of drinking only hot water all day. No lemon or lime or juice added. Just plain hot water. I don't know what possessed me to follow her lead, but I did and I never looked back. I drink ...
Dinner Planner – Week of January 7th, 2019
Hello, dear readers! Forgive me for not posting a new recipe this week. I really needed a little break and wanted to be fully present with my family during the holidays. Plus, I hardly read anything that comes into my inbox between December 15th and January 3rd! Everyone is talking about ...

Yerba Mate Cacao and Mint Tonic
Over the last few years, I've become a little addicted to my morning tonic ritual. It's a little like a moving meditation where I take a few minutes and focus on the steps of brewing my tea, adding in whatever powders I crave and slowly sip my warm concoction. I think you know I don't drink ...
Dinner Planner – Week of December 24th, 2018
My sort-of vacation starts now, so I am very excited! I have taught my last class of 2018, scheduled my last blogpost for next week and I am almost packed to go to NY with my family to celebrate Christmas. I say "sort-of vacation" because I am working hard on my next book, which I am shooting in a ...
Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe
Nothing says December, winter, or Christmas to me quite like gingerbread anything. I love, love, love all those warming spices - the more, the better. I find the combination of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to be intoxicating. Every year I either teach or post a new gingerbread-flavored recipe. I ...
Dinner Planner – Week of December 17th, 2018
I cannot believe that Christmas is about a week away! Yikes! I am both excited and overwhelmed. Excited to spend a week on Long Island with my family, overwhelmed because I don't have all my holidays gifts ordered or granola for the teachers made. I will not leave the house this weekend until it ...
Jeweled Rice Recipe
'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 ...

Wordpress has just done some updating, so I need a little tutorial on the new features. Forgive any formatting glitches until I figure it all out. For my online class students, I just filmed this month's latest class and it will drop this coming week!! In the meantime, here's your dinner planner ...
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 ...
