I’m a huge fan of breakfast. I’m all about the savory breakfast foods–cheesy grits, toast with butter, and my personal favorite is a runny poached egg. But bacon and eggs aren’t exactly diet foods.

The avocado toast trend has really grown, but I’ve had some disappointing restaurant versions lately.

ORECCHIETTE. Why so many letters? I’m here to tell you that this pasta is an umami bomb. The savory miso butter…
Sam once told me he didn’t like carrots, which I took as a challenge to craft the most delicious carrot recipe that even the most dedicated carrot-hater couldn’t hate. I used to hate a lot of vegetables until I found out that everything is good roasted. Everything. Even a brussels sprout. I made this amazing…
Hi Friends! Every year I fall in love with autumn all over again, and I’m reminded why. I took a step outside and watched the rain fall on a big oak tree in our backyard while all the yellowed leaves fell to the ground. It smelled like dirt and leaves and those scented crayons that…
