Sometimes, a little freshening up is in order. I put this chopped grilled vegetable salad on my weekly dinner planner and when I pulled the image for it, I cringed a little. The photo did not do it justice at all. This salad is one of my absolute favorites and one that I posted almost 5 years ...
Bieler’s Broth: a Healing, Restorative Soup Recipe
It’s good to be home. I had the loveliest holiday break, but it’s good to be home. Even though I knew I was coming back to two weeks worth of mail to sift through, groceries to buy, meals to plan, piles of laundry to wash, it’s all good. As I’ve mentioned several times, I am not much on detox ...
Baked zucchini fries recipe
My kids can't get enough of these zucchini fries and I can't get enough of hearing them beg me for vegetables! After I returned home from New York last week, my son, the one and only Mr. Picky, said, "I don't know what you're making for dinner this week, but please include zucchini fries!" Pinch ...
Corn and zucchini frittata recipe
I just returned from Dallas, one child and many suitcases lighter. Sigh…. My daughter has officially opened her wings and flown from the proverbial nest to plant her roots at college. The whole thing is quite surreal as many of you may or may not know. One minute they're spinning around in a pink ...
Roasted summer vegetable tian recipe
After Barcelona, we went to Aix-en-Provence, which is the center and heart of Provence, France. I adore the South of France! We had a guide for the day since I don’t know the area well and I had no time before we left to do proper research. I absolutely love hearing about the history of European ...

Mediterranean turkey and zucchini burgers recipe
I'm a happy mama since I picked up Mr. Picky from sleepaway camp on Saturday. 13 days is just too long for me to be apart from that guy. I have been enjoying all the stories, hanging on every word as if he traveled around the world. Bless his heart, Mr. Picky "snuck" some food from camp to bring ...
Roasted vegetable lasagne recipe
I feel like my universe is in a state of transition right now. Although I'm sensing this shift in energy in lots of people, not just me. We've transitioned from vacation to school, about to move from summer to fall, and we're starting to change what we wear. It's natural for us to adapt from ...
Farro with roasted vegetables and roasted tomato dressing recipe
We had such a nice Labor Day weekend. I hope you did, too. We were able to squeeze in some beach time, family time, yoga (for me) and our annual block party, which was great fun. The combination of the balmy weather and refrain from “labor” made me wish that summer would last just a little ...
Zucchini bread pancakes recipe
A few years ago, someone suggested I teach a class with a breakfast menu. At first I didn't think it was such a good idea because breakfast seems kind of easy, at least too easy to be taught in a cooking class. In our house the rotations is oatmeal or muesli, scrambled eggs, smoothies, yogurt and ...
Summer garden frittata recipe
While I was away last week, my husband thought it would be a great idea to refinish the cabinets in the kitchen. No wait, we might as well do all the cabinets in the entire house, he thought to himself. Why do those four words generally end up as a bad idea? Why do people think that a small ...
