Recipe: Baked Egg in Avocado With Parsley and Goat Cheese
Earlier this year, pictures of eggs baked in avocado were the darling of the online food porn world. Then I tested out the recipe myself, and the result was so good I wonder how I ever lived without this creation.
The concept is simple: bake an egg in an avocado. If you were looking for a way to put all those eggs from your backyard chicken coop to use you should certainly put this recipe on the breakfast list.
Recipe: Five Seed Crackers with Olive and Cilantro Tapenade
I cringed as I stood in the upscale grocery store pulling an overpriced box of “Flackers” down from the shelf. There was a dinner party and I was out of time, but let’s be honest: crackers are the last thing you should be paying top dollar for, especially when you can make a delicious version yourself.
These five seed crackers are as easy as mixing some seeds and nuts in a bowl and letting them sit for awhile, and you end up with a crunchy, gluten-free, vegan cracker that’s healthier than you may wish to admit. Top them off with Olive and Cilantro Tapenade and you have your new favorite appetizer.
Quinoa Apple Spice Cake
Quinoa might not be your go-to ingredient for cakes, but this is one of my favorite fall recipes. Ever.
Recipe: Coconut Blackberry Clafouti à la Julia Child
“Dining with one’s friends and beloved family is certainly one of life’s primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal.” – Julia Child
For today, Julia Child’s 100th birthday, it seemed only fitting that I add one of her classic recipes to my repertoire in celebration. She was well known for her calfouti, which is pretty much a fancier version of a Dutch Baby pancake, and with a pint of freshly picked blackberries, I couldn’t resist making a revamped gluten free version made with coconut flour and milk.
Recipe: Gluten Free Dutch Appeltaart with Cardamom
I was destined to fall in love with the appeltaart.
When I travel I have a tendency to fall for local foods. It may be the most basic of foods in that location, but when you’re an outsider, it’s exotic. And so I identify a local dish that’s easy to find in a variety of places and I order it wherever I go. It could be called a weird travel quirk, but when you find a local food that you love and you stick with it.
And so it was with the appeltaart.

Recipe: Raspberry Rhubarb Quinoa Muffins with Raspberry Fig Jam
On a cool Sunday morning I was in the middle of rows upon rows of raspberries. Summer means u-pick season, and there’s something about standing in a field of berries that inevitably leads to overdose. Pick one, eat one, repeat. An hour and a half later I was on a sugar high and had my arms full of two cardboard flats with 13 pounds of raspberries.
Recipe: Oatmeal and Flaxseed Blueberry Pancakes
Full disclosure: standard American pancakes have never been my thing. Except for a backcountry version made with M&M’s, they have never been one of my breakfast standards. On the too sweet, too fluffy and too thick side, classic pancakes are optimal if you’re looking for a sugar high with an immediate crash. Not quite my style.
However, once in awhile you come across a version of a recipe that changes your perspective. A good friend named Lisa, who has an ongoing oatmeal vs. pancake breakfast debate in her household, came up with this one. As she says, when someone says “bowl of oatmeal or stack of pancakes?” oatmeal is regularly the winner, so she found a way to combine the two. The result is convincing even for those of us that aren’t usually wooed by the traditional breakfast.
Recipe: Red Cabbage and Carrot Citrus Salad
This colorful salad is a springtime staple in my kitchen. Light and fresh, it takes only a few minutes to put together, and the sweeter taste of orange is a perfect offset to the raw cabbage. It’s packed with vitamin C, but if you’re in the mood for a salad that is a little more substantial, add in some cubed avocado.
Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies
Time is of the essence when I cook; the easier the better. Which is why I am all for recipes that require minimal ingredients and prep time. Enter these peanut butter cookies which are so easy it’s almost stupid.
