Maple Oatmeal Bread
In the last few weeks, I’ve been wondering what kind of recipes would be most helpful to readers. When I posed the question in Instagram stories, I got an overwhelming amount of excitement about homemade bread recipes. Bread baking is one of my passions, but I still think of myself as a student, rather than an expert who’s in a position to share. Everything I know, I’ve learned from reading other people’s books, and it’s still rare that I come up with recipes…

Chai Spice Energy Balls
I keep seeing mention of quarantine snacks on social media. Yesterday afternoon, it occurred to me that I was running low on snacks myself! As I considered about what to make, I thought back to these chai spice energy balls, which I made and shared with my yoga community a couple months ago (feels like a lifetime ago now). These are really the same date/nut energy balls I’ve been making for years and years, with the addition of a chai-inspired spice blend. Nothing…

Spicy Cabbage Chickpea Soup
It’s a gray, gloomy day here in New York City. It’s been raining, mostly, but it was even sleeting for a little while this morning. It would be a good day to stay inside and make soup even if it weren’t for the current circumstances. Since we’re at home anyway, watching it drizzle outside, I think it’s an especially nice day for soup. I thought I’d share one of the Power Plates recipes that most spells “comfort” to me. This spicy, lemony cabbage…

Simple Vegan Tex-Mex Skillet Pasta
It’s looking more and more as though I’ll be indoors for quite a while, along with other New Yorkers and many around the country. As anxious as this time is, I’m trying to accept the circumstances and to find what positives I can. I can’t claim to have made much use of the extra time at home this week: so far, zero regular cleaning or spring cleaning. Minimal progress on my domestic to-do list. Keeping up with, but not getting ahead of work….

Vegan Double Chocolate Muffins
When things feel particularly uncertain or unknowable, it’s usually my first instinct to bake. Baking sweet things is one of the ways that I remind myself of the sweetness of life, especially when I’m getting lots of reminders to the contrary. And there’s comfort in the ritual, too: baking, measuring, following a recipe. Baking is more science than art, and the precision is part of what I find soothing. This was one of those happy baking projects in which I was pretty sure…

Easy Vegan Black Bean Sweet Potato Tacos
Remember how, on Sunday, I said that I had Superbowl-friendly recipe coming your way? This could have been it, but it wasn’t it. What I had planned was a chili that turned out to be yet another in a several-months-long streak of #recipefails. I ate it, and I even froze some of it, but it really wasn’t tasty enough to share. I’m not sure why half of what I cook turns out to be so disappointing lately, but I’m not going to spend…

Perfect Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
You may be wondering how I’ve never made a vegan banana chocolate chip muffin before? I’m wondering too. I’ve made banana muffins, banana bread, and I have no objections to putting chocolate into just about any baked good (oatmeal, blondies, scones). It was only a matter of time until I tried this combo in a…

The Best Vegan Pasta alla Vecchia Bettola
This recipe is delicious for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with me.

Savory Squash & Kimchi Breakfast Porridge

Creamy Chickpeas & Mushrooms Over Mashed Potatoes
I’m ending this year and starting the next one with a recipe that feels well suited to where I’m at lately.

We all know that this season—the transition of one calendar year to another—can be loaded with messages about food and diet that are anything but wholesome.

Moroccan Sweet Potatoes
Holiday lesson #1: Things (often) don’t go to plan. I watch a lot of reruns of The Great British Baking Show, and in many episodes there’s a moment when a baker presents something that’s falling apart, or sinking in the middle, or only halfway decorated. One of the judges will smile sympathetically, and say “looks…

Tangerine Energy Bites
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Barlean’s. As always, all thoughts are my own. I had a big internal debate in my head while I was mixing up this recipe for Tangerine Energy Bites. What’s the proper term – bites or balls? And then I immediately started singing AC/DC “Big Balls”. Yes, I […]

For the most part, turning on my oven at this time of year feels like a treat, rather than a burden. I love to bake, and I love it especially during the holidays. But when you’re jet-lagged and catching up on work and very possibly catching a cold, it’s not necessarily the time to be…

Just a little pre-weekend check-in with a sweet breakfast treat: vegan pumpkin chocolate chip baked oatmeal.

Pumpkin Seed Crusted Tofu Fingers (with two homemade dipping sauces!)

And into the category of organization we can definitely group meal…
