I am knee-deep in shredded coconut and almond flour, preparing for Passover! My mom is visiting for a few days and we're having a great time, squeezing in some shopping, ladies' lunches and museums in between cooking. If you don't observe Passover, you can look at the menus anyway and see if ...
Pea and Mushroom Sauté with Mint Recipe
I receive a lot of requests for recipes - more entrees, more low-carb, more "kid-friendly" (I don't like that phrase, by the way), and the most popular, easy. The term easy means different things to different people. In my opinion, easy means not complicated, something that a cook of any skill ...
Greek Pasta Salad Recipe
My husband, my son and I just came back from a quick, but delightful, weekend in Park City, Utah. My son has 2 (!) weeks off for spring break and my husband and I do not have 2 weeks off LOL. We scooted away for a long weekend and I’m so glad we did. It's so important and enjoyable to spend quality ...
Dinner Planner – Week of April 3, 2017
Mr. Picky is off for spring break, so my husband and I took him on Friday night to Park City where we will hang out for a few days. The weather is just the way I like it - warm! We're skiing, going out to dinner, watching college basketball and just trying to relax a little before I go back home ...
Menu Ideas for Passover 2017
With Passover and Easter coming up fast, many of my students have been asking me after class what they should make for the holidays and the timing of it all. Timing, timing, timing!! It seems to be the reason for so much anxiety and I completely understand why. Timing is everything! For those of ...
Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Leeks with Roasted Garlic Dressing Recipe
I may or may not be posting a new Passover menu and timeline this year, merely because I might just use the same menu I posted 2 years ago. Although 2 years ago I hosted both nights and this year I am splitting the holiday with my sister-in-law and we'll each cook one night. She and I both love ...
Dinner Planner: Week of March 27, 2017
I had a busy week last week with lots of classes plus an Easter Brunch shoot with my friend Jenni Kayne and The Chalkboard Mag. Recipes coming to both of those sites around April 10th. This week is the last week of my March menu, plus I have a shoot with my friend Molly Sims and I'm going to do ...
Five Friday Favorites – Expo West 2017
Sorry it has taken me so long to post my highlights of Natural Products Expo West. There's so much to report, I still haven't gotten it all in there. Although I only went for one day, I saw so much and it was honestly overwhelming! Expo West is a huge, and I mean HUGE, natural products trade show ...
Cuban Black Beans Recipe
Give me all the peasant food. I need nothing fancy to make me happy and satisfied. A good bean soup or bowl of braised lentils or refried beans is what I crave. I basically could never go Paleo because I can't give up legumes! There are many different cultures which use legumes in their cooking - ...
Dinner Planner- Week of March 20th, 2017
My daughters juts left tonight and I am pretty mopey about it. We had a great week with them and I am beyond grateful that they chose to come home for spring break. Counting the days until they come home in May! I am continuing with the March menu in my classes this week, although I have a group ...
Roasted Fish with Chermoula Recipe
Happy St. Patrick's Day! I am hoping you made something naturally green this morning, like these Green Muffins or Green Pancakes, and rejected green-dyed bagels. A green juice would be rather appropriate today, as well. Now let's move on. ;) Not only is it St. Patrick's Day, but it is also a mere ...
Dinner Planner — Week of March 13, 2017
My daughters just arrived home for spring break, so the five of us will be together again for a whole week! I am over the moon, since there's pretty much nothing that could make me happier than spending time as a family. I do have a busy work week though - testing recipes for Clean Eating ...
Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Baking bread, real bread, can be a challenge. There's yeast and proofing and rising and time - lots of time. It's not super practical if you work out of the home with regular 9 to 5 hours. Which is why I don't make bread anymore. I used to make challah and round peasant loaves and the occasional ...
Split Pea and Barley Soup Recipe
St. Patrick's Day is approaching and I am here to tell you that you do not need to make corned beef and cabbage to be in the spirit. Make anything green -- spinach risotto, kale salad, a mint chip smoothie -- and you're good in my book. I actually discovered recently that split pea soup can have ...
Dinner Planner – Week of March 6th, 2017
Lent is upon us, so I will make sure all the Friday dinners in the next few dinner planners are fish or vegetarian. When I was growing up, my mom used to make fish every Friday even outside of Lent. I still think of Fridays as "Fish Fridays." My mother had a very methodical way of doing her ...
Five Friday Favorites 03.03.17
It's still Friday, right?? Better late, than never! Nothing causes more panic than when you get an email from your host saying your website has been shut down because it almost crashed the server and other websites! Sorry that the site was down for most of the day yesterday. I wish the cause of ...
Hashbrown and Spinach Casserole Recipe
I do not want to open a restaurant, but if I did it would be called "He Said, She Said." I would have a big chalkboard menu with two sides, one for dude food and one for lady food. That way, my husband and I would always agree on a place where we could both get what we wanted. French Dip sandwich ...
Dinner Planner – Week of February 27th, 2017
I am getting myself organized for the week ahead because it's going to be a busy one! Lots of classes this week and since Wednesday is the first day of a new month, I am debuting a new cooking class menu. Even if you can't take my classes, you can always check my classes tab to see what I'm ...
Greek Sheet Pan Chicken with Lemon and Potatoes Recipe
I'm that girl who makes an effort to encourage all the food on her plate to touch. In fact, I'm so weird that I'll set the table for my family with a plate at everyone's place and a shallow bowl for me. It looks odd, but I love eating out of a bowl as you know. All my food gets nice and ...
Moroccan Vegetable Soup Recipe
I can't think of anything more comforting than a bowl of soup. Warm, filling, and nourishing, homemade soup feels like a big hug. My husband and my kids (especially Mr. Picky) all love soup and I love making it because it's easy, flexible and soup makes great leftovers. ...
