When I got back from Spain last week, all I wanted to eat were vegetables. Now, don’t get me wrong - I couldn’t get enough of Basque cooking. And for the most part, it was fairly healthy. But I’m pretty sure everyone’s idea of standard vegetable ... Continue Reading about Grilled Eggplant Recipe with Sumac, Capers, and Mint
Vegetable Side
You can’t have a healthy weeknight dinner without some sort of fiber-rich vegetable on the plate. If you struggle to get your kids (or adults) to indulge in green things, these spinach mashed potatoes are a huge win, especially since they combine two gluten-free vegetable sides into one!Â
Perhaps the most popular vegetable side recipe is this Turkish eggplant casserole. For another one pan favorite, try this gluten-free cauliflower casserole recipe. Those who want Paleo recipes will love this easy cauliflower couscous. And finally, a star on all holiday tables is this dairy-free corn pudding.
Corn on the Cob with Siracha Lime Butter
Corn on the cob is probably responsible for 90 percent of my at-home summer butter consumption. It’s so ubiquitous on our Martha’s Vineyard table that it’s crazy I don’t yet have a recipe for it on this site. But like most delicacies, I try not to ...

Thai Peanut Slaw
One of the fun things about my weekly private chef gig is getting new inspiration without having to do any of the legwork searching for it. Back in the fall, I used to send ideas to my client via email from week to week. I kept an on-going list on ... Continue Reading about Thai Peanut Slaw
Grilled Mango Skewers with Lime
Last week, I opened up about my deep-seeded lasagna biases. I was really just trying to make conversation with you. Though I’ve come to love lasagna, even years ago if you had put a gun to my head, I would have happily had a slice. Melon on the other ... Continue Reading about Grilled Mango Skewers with Lime
Vietnamese Eggplant and Leek Lettuce Wraps
I’m still on a bit of a high from the weekend. Saturday night I went to SNL with my dad. We both stayed up way past our bedtime to go to the after party following. During the show, I was giddy when Bradley Cooper came out for a surprise appearance, ... Continue Reading about Vietnamese Eggplant and Leek Lettuce Wraps
Radish and Basil Thai Fried Rice
Fried rice is one of the few take-out delicacies I actually make more at home than I order off a menu. It’s actually the leftover rice from my much more frequent veggie green curry orders that gives me the impetus to make fried rice in the first ...

Millet Salad with Roasted Fennel and Tomatoes
I found the healthy state of affairs in my childhood pantry to be deeply unfair. My mom was a whole foods nut long before a chain grocery store arose for people just like her. She did her shopping at the local health food store. In Westchester, ... Continue Reading about Millet Salad with Roasted Fennel and Tomatoes
White Wine Braised Artichokes with Thyme
I grew up eating whole artichokes with homemade mayo for dipping. These were a treat, something my mother and I would share or, when I was big enough, eat side by side. If we were eating the same head, there would always be a bit of tension when we ... Continue Reading about White Wine Braised Artichokes with Thyme
Asparagus Mimosa with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
It’s hard to believe, but I’m creeping up on my one year anniversary of Feed Me Phoebe! With that in mind, I’ve been trying to brainstorm better ways of sharing recipes and food wisdom with you. When I began, there were many categories and columns I ... Continue Reading about Asparagus Mimosa with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
Meatless Monday: Savoy Cabbage Slaw with Sumac, Yogurt, and Mint
Whenever I go to LA, I always try to book a room with a garden view at my Aunt and Uncle’s house in Santa Monica. I’m usually running around like a maniac, and this ensures me plenty of quality time in passing, and at least a few food truck runs for ...

Skillet Home Fries with Herbs de Provence
These home fries are part two of my breakfast in bed Valentine’s Day special. Normally at restaurants, I ask to substitute breakfast potatoes for French fries. I did so this weekend and it resulted in my eating back-to-back large portions of ... Continue Reading about Skillet Home Fries with Herbs de Provence
Quinoa with Pink Greens
I stayed up past my bedtime last night watching the Golden Globes, and nearly choked on my butternut squash paella when Tina Fay said that after being married to James Cameron, Kathryn Bigelow must know a thing or two about torture. Zing. Rather ... Continue Reading about Quinoa with Pink Greens
Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Rosemary
It's become well known here that I have a bit of a fry problem. But when I'm cooking for myself, I try to avoid French fries in a way that I never can when faced with them on a restaurant menu. If I do make them, I do so in the oven. (Though don't ... Continue Reading about Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Rosemary
Vegetarian Kale Caesar Salad
I find that one of my biggest challenges with keeping my food-related resolutions is that it's so darn cold outside. Who wants to eat a salad when there's snow on the ground? My mind is saying steamed vegetables and tofu, but my body wants chili con ... Continue Reading about Vegetarian Kale Caesar Salad
Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Manchego and Pimenton
I don’t usually look forward to catering events, especially when they appear in a consecutive schmear of google green (busy) on my gcal. But I am positively pumped about tonight. I’m chef-ing for a marriage proposal! I didn’t realize that marriage ... Continue Reading about Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Manchego and Pimenton
Cornbread and Wild Rice Stuffing with Hazelnuts and Cranberries
The extended Lapine clan takes holidays very seriously. And every year, at each occasion, it becomes more and more difficult to fit everyone in one room, even if getting everyone there is no problem at all. My Aunt Jen and Uncle Mark (still known to ...

Happy Halloween: Bagels & Locks and Cauliflower Steaks with Romesco
It's been a crazy few days on the East Coast. I hope that all of you affected by Sandy managed to weather the storm safely. I think I was definitely one of the naysayers who thought she'd be a hyped-up bitch, and overall tease. Not so. I spent my ...

Roasted Pumpkin Wedges with Chili, Lime, and Cotija
One of my favorite summer dishes is elote, Mexican corn on the cob, grilled to sweet charred perfection, and then slathered with mayo, lime juice, and chili powder. Since corn is so cheap, we made Cody's version several times on Chef Race, including ... Continue Reading about Roasted Pumpkin Wedges with Chili, Lime, and Cotija
Turnip Hash with Basil Vinaigrette
You may have noticed a bit of a void in my personal narrative. So I should probably address it. After I returned from filming Chef Race, Josh and I decided to end our two-year relationship. It gave me another big jolt to spend my summer vacation ... Continue Reading about Turnip Hash with Basil Vinaigrette
Sauteed Squash with Caper-Basil Pangritata
I'm a little late to the party with this recipe. Summer produce is still hanging around the markets, but it seems that everyone is a bit over mother nature's yield at this point. Regardless, there are still some take-aways to be had from this dish - ... Continue Reading about Sauteed Squash with Caper-Basil Pangritata
Roasted Potato and Green Bean Salad with Almond-Chive Pesto
It's been a while since I've had friends over for dinner. Sure, while I was holed up recovering from Chef Race on Martha's Vineyard I helped my parents entertain some friends. But my little studio in Chelsea has not seen a lot of love lately. And my ... Continue Reading about Roasted Potato and Green Bean Salad with Almond-Chive Pesto
The Balanced Diet: Israeli Chickpea Salad with Mustard Greens
The summer after I graduated from college, I traveled around Israel for two weeks. I saw many sites, I learned many things, and I ate my weight in falafel. Now, fried balls of ground chickpeas are decidedly not the healthiest of lunches. But there ... Continue Reading about The Balanced Diet: Israeli Chickpea Salad with Mustard Greens
The Balanced Diet: Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
I used to have a serious sweet tooth. The one thing I missed most about New York City when I moved away for college were the bulk bin candy stories on every other block. You know, the ones that usually also include 10-calorie soft serve, should you ... Continue Reading about The Balanced Diet: Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille
Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille This can be executed on an indoor grill pan, but it will take forever. If that’s all you have at your disposal, save yourself the trouble, and just make regular ratatouille! Additional instructions on grilling ... Continue Reading about Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille
