Baked Butternut Squash Fries with Sage and Anchovy Aioli

The Best Whole Grain Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s sad to be the lone gluttard at a cookie swap. Not only will you be forced to lick the cream out of the center of a homemade non-gluten-free Oreo, for lack of any other option.

Hibiscus Tea Arnold Palmers, Spiked or Sober
My cocktail game leaves a lot to be desired. Part of the problem is that I’m dating a wine guy.

Healthy Banana Pudding with Maple-Rum Compote

Green Goddess Avocado Toasts with Roasted Spring Vegetables and Tahini Sauce

Dark Chocolate Beauty Bark with Chia Seeds, Pepitas, and Goji Berries
One of the things I missed most during my sugar detox was having a little nibble of dark chocolate at the end of meals.

Gluten-Free Crab Cakes with Pretzel Crust
This summer, I had big plans to finally cross crab cakes off my list of things to gluten-free-ify.

Homemade Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte Recipe, Spiked or Sober

Healthy Baked Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Turkey Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
Baked potatoes always remind me of being 13 in the back woods of Vermont. Unlike most of my friends, I opted for a less traditional camp experience.

Vegan Pumpkin Risotto with Rosemary
Risotto is one of my favorite dishes to teach in my cooking classes (along with paella and pilaf) because it’s gotten a bad rap over the years for being time intensive and difficult.

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Sumac Salt
The first time I ate blistered shishito peppers was at Sushi Samba circa 2001.

Hot Crab Dip with Jalapenos and Scallions
I’m all for high-low dishes (after all, Ina Garten turned me onto the magic of potato chips and caviar at a young age). But I’ve always thought that hot crab dip seemed like a foolish use of a $30 a pound protein. It’s the same kind of philosophical ... Continue Reading about Hot Crab Dip with Jalapenos and Scallions
