This summer is anything but lazy, there has been no summertime slow down. At least as far as my energy levels are concerned. I’m feeling the lack of a long weekend over the July 4th holiday, and I’ll have to hold on a few more weeks until our vacation in August. Until then, there’s … Read more
Lunch
Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Frittata
Here’s a simple, satisfying idea for a quick weeknight meal (which is what we chose to do) or a make-ahead Mother’s Day brunch for the upcoming weekend.
Kale Salad with Cherries and Pistachio Dressing
One of the best restaurants in Harvard Square, Alden & Harlow, has what they call the “ubiquitous kale salad” on their menu. The name is tongue-in-cheek, but the salad itself is phenomenal. The greens themselves are all kale (something that can be hard to pull off), and there’s nothing else garnishing the leaves except a … Read more
Everyday Blueberry and Strawberry Smoothie
David has been making these smoothies on a daily basis for a few years. He has the method down to a science, and though we sometimes tweak the ingredients, it’s been an easy, reliable recipe we both enjoy. We’ll make a large batch that makes two 16-ounce smoothies. We’ll either both have one in the … Read more
Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad
Given that it’s been absolutely frigid for weeks on end, most of my cooking has been one of two things: long-simmering stove-top dishes or supplementing the heating in my apartment by turning on the oven, chopping some vegetables, and allowing them to roast all afternoon. With all the snow, and cold, and damp, cooking in … Read more
(Slightly Spicy) Black Bean Soup
2013 was a busy year. The first eight months were dominated by my internship, followed by studying for and taking the Registered Dietitian exam (I passed! woo hoo!), and settling in to my role as a clinical dietitian at both the hospital and an eating disorder clinic. During the midst of all that, I somehow … Read more
Greek Hummus Wrap
It was a pretty wild summer. I finished the last rotations of my internship, which involved some very early mornings and very late nights, and somehow David and I managed to plan the details of our wedding, which took place on August 24th. We focused a lot on spending quality time together throughout the summer … Read more
Sliced Tomato Salad
September and August have been enveloped by two of the most expensive and time-consuming tasks I’ve ever taken on: wedding planning and graduate school. It’s been fun and challenging, and it’s so exciting to think about how different my life might be in a year from now, but it doesn’t leave a lot of time … Read more
Simple Chopped Summer Salad
On a Saturday morning back in July, my Recipe Redux post was supposed to go up along with other dietitians’ and healthy cooking bloggers’ recipes. Instead, I spent my weekend in New York City celebrating with my sister. We spent our afternoons noshing on sushi and Italian food (not at the same time), exploring her … Read more
Open-faced Caramelized Onion and Fontina Grilled Cheese Sandwich
It’s almost summer in Boston, but sometimes it doesn’t quite feel like it. Luckily, we’re seeing the seasons change with fresh summer produce turning up in the grocery stores, and the farmer’s markets have opened across the city. Sometimes it’s warm enough to grab a drink outside after work. But as I’m sitting here writing, … Read more
