Easter would not be complete without my family’s favorite rice pudding. And if you need a last minute desert…I bet you have all of the ingredients already on hand! And don’t limit this to only Easter…it is a perfectly acceptable breakfast, lunch, dessert, or snack. It’s even been known to count as dinner during the…

Soup season is in full swing, and nothing says Superbowl party like a big pot of chili. So here’s a recipe for a simple classic beef chili, and a turkey chili with pumpkin and butternut squash, plus the best ever gluten-free cornbread you will ever make!! Grass-fed Beef Chili 2 lbs ground beef 1 small…

I’ve spent many holidays living overseas and it’s always been exciting to see how other cultures celebrate. Except for Thanksgiving. Being an exclusively American holiday (sorry Canada, you don’t count) I always felt especially isolated and foreign when Thanksgiving rolled around. However, my Thanksgivings abroad have been anything but boring, and by far the most…

And today is #GivingTuesday and just like last year I will donate $1 to…

I came up with this recipe while visiting a friend in Singapore. I wanted to highlight some amazingly sweet Thai mangos, Australian apricots and Malaysian passion fruit I’d found at the wet market. Think of this as a deconstructed fruit crisp. You can use whatever combination of fruit you’d like, but I love the…

We don’t take St. Patty’s Day lightly in my family. My grandfather was parade marshall of the Holyoke, Massachusetts St. Patrick’s Day parade, and my parents met at a St. Patrick’s Day coronation ball. Enough said. For years I would make this Irish soda bread for my grandparents and other family members, and now that…

I think it’s hysterical that something I used to grow on my kitchen counter as a “pet” has now become a refrigerator staple. I make a big batch early in the week and have it on hand for a quick breakfast, lunch, post-workout snack or dessert. Once you know the basic formula you can customize…

It’s almost Super Bowl weekend and in addition to thinking about the big game, you should really be thinking about upping your brunch game. How might one do that, you ask? Make this blueberry dutch baby pancake! Right, and ruin ALL my New Year’s resolutions to go grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, taste-free & fun-free? Not at…

Few things make me happier than cooking for other people. Ok, so you moms out there who are fed up with trying to cook for the world’s pickiest eaters who also happen to be your children, might disagree with me. But just try this – think of someone who could use a bit of encouragement. Then…

I love that we have a whole day devoted to giving thanks. It doesn’t matter where we are or who we’re with, what we’re eating or what circumstances we find ourselves in, there is always a reason to give thanks! This year I hosted my very first Thanksgiving and I consulted and cooked for a…

I’m taking full advantage of the last week of pumpkin everything! As promised, here is my recipe for pumpkin pecan granola. This granola is so good, plus it makes your house smell like the most amazing pumpkin spice candle (like the way you wish Yankee Candle smells when you walk by the store). Rather than…
