Spring Herb Quinoa Salad

We’re almost there.  We’re so close I can practically feel the warm sun on my shoulders and the grass between my toes.  I’m feeling especially excited for weekend picnics in the park this year!  Relaxing afternoons in Central Park filled with food, friends, sunshine, frisbee….oh, and did I mention the food! Today I’m guest posting on [...]

Shredded Kale Salad with Avocado & Grapefruit

One of my goals for 2013 has been to ramp up the amount of dark leafy greens I eat.  This has been one of the easiest (and tastiest) goals I’ve ever set.  It took a little work at first, but only because I was going through so much green goodness that I was forgetting to [...]

Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette & A Fall Salad

October 9, 2012

  I was trying to remember the last time I bought bottled dressing.  The best guess I could come up with, is maybe two years ago.  It’s been so long, I really can’t even remember.  Clearly, it’s not something I miss buying.  For me, dressing fall into the category of ‘why buy it, when you [...]

Have you ever sliced open an avocado and scooped it out half by half, with the intention of making guacamole or a dip, or adding some sliced avocado to a sandwich…but instead took one nibble of avocado, which lead to another and another and before you knew what was happening you ate the entire avocado?  [...]

Cucumber Avocado Salad

Like clockwork it happened again this year. My stubbornness kicked in, I procrastinated and held off on installing my air conditioner. I bet you can guess what happened next. It got unseasonably hot for a few days & it was really humid for a lot more than a few days. Add all of those things [...]

Foodbuzz 24×24: The Night Thomas Keller Came to My House for Dinner

March 25, 2012

Small confession…Thomas Keller didn’t actually come to my house for dinner.  Maybe you already guessed that.  If not, I’m sorry to disappoint.  Really, I am, because it would be awesome if I was telling you about my evening of food, wine and conversation with Chef Keller.  A night like that would easily go down as one [...]

Black Bean & Mango Quinoa Salad

September 2, 2011

Dear August, Let’s have a little chat, shall we?  You really had a way of stirring things up this year….and that’s not even taking into account an earthquake and hurricane in the same week.  You left me feeling a little out of sorts.  You showed up so quietly, so unexpectedly, so gently.  Your days ticked [...]
