One of the surprises of pregnancy has been the strength with which my sweet tooth has kicked in. I’ve always been one to pick salty over sweet or opt for a glass of port at the end of a meal instead of dessert. But over the past few weeks, I’ve definitely been more enthusiastic about … Read more

Quick-Pickled Onions
I’ve been making these quick-pickled onions all summer to top off a variety of grilled meats. We’re trying rotating a variety of burgers, and I’ve found these pair best with salmon burgers (and a bit of tartar sauce instead of ketchup) and buffalo burgers.
Sweet Potato and Pepper Enchiladas
We’re in that sweet spot of spring when the weather starts to warm and people come out of hibernating and start to socialize, but we’re not yet to the point of jam-packed summer schedules without a free weekend in sight. Having just moved, David and I have been hosting a flurry of casual dinner parties … Read more
Everyday Blueberry and Strawberry Smoothie
David has been making these smoothies on a daily basis for a few years. He has the method down to a science, and though we sometimes tweak the ingredients, it’s been an easy, reliable recipe we both enjoy. We’ll make a large batch that makes two 16-ounce smoothies. We’ll either both have one in the … Read more
Wild Blueberry and Pear Crisp
We moved! Although I’ve loved spending the past few years in my kitchen in Boston’s North End, it’s time for a change. David and I are lucky enough to have found a great place on the other side of the river that we both love. We’re much closer to nature, with a little back yard … Read more
Beet + Pomegranate Winter Salad

With donuts, cheesy egg bakes, and mimosas on the menu, it helped to make a small contribution of vegetables. It can be tough for a salad to compete with all that, but people … Read more
Quick-pickled Red Pepper Wraps
Pickling vegetables can be an ambitious endeavor, and it’s a science trying to develop delicious flavors while avoiding incubating dangerous bacteria. This technique of a quick pickle, however, produces the best of flavor in just a short time (and without having to sterilize the jars). These wraps have great flavor and enough bite to lift … Read more
(Slightly Spicy) Black Bean Soup
2013 was a busy year. The first eight months were dominated by my internship, followed by studying for and taking the Registered Dietitian exam (I passed! woo hoo!), and settling in to my role as a clinical dietitian at both the hospital and an eating disorder clinic. During the midst of all that, I somehow … Read more
Tofu Pan-Fried Rice
I’m not big on new year’s resolutions, but as we start the new year, I do have one goal that I’d like to work on during the coming months. I’d like to take the flavors of my sauces to a higher level. I hope to learn about new flavors and ingredients and experiment with ways … Read more
Crisp Vegetables & Pasta Smothered with Satay Sauce
Would it surprise anyone to know that my fall has been filled with quick, simple dinners that translate well into leftovers that I can tote to work or school the next day? Life has been intensely busy with school, work at the clinic, and wedding planning. Most of it has been challenging and fun, but … Read more
