I have to admit, I’m one of those people…the ones who can’t get enough pumpkin once the leaves start falling and football comes on TV. In college, me and my girlfriends used to drive almost an hour for pumpkin ice cream, I just can’t get enough of it! My favorite way to eat pumpkin, however,…

Cherry Buckwheat Banana Bread
You know summer has arrived when cherries start appearing in the markets. I always correlate cherries with such happy childhood memories – there was a weekly outdoor concert series in the local park that my parents used to take me and my sister to during the summer. My mom would pack a picnic with all…
Raisin Chickpea Quinoa Salad
Chickpeas are so versatile, they add so much heartiness to a dish without overpowering the taste. They work so nicely in this quinoa salad combined with the veggies and sweetness of the raisins – it also holds up well all week, great for a make-ahead Sunday dish! I served this with my Curried Carrot Raisin…
Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal
There’s something so comforting about oatmeal on a rainy day – and Monday was one of those as you can see in this picture! Although, I can’t complain – I really needed to do some spring cleaning/organizing and it’s so much easier to do with weather like that! This is one of my favorite oatmeal…
Kiwi Walnut Oatmeal Muffins
If you are one of those people that avoids muffins because they are “bad” for you, this recipe will make you think again! What makes a muffin a “muffin” is the shape, that’s really it and as long as they are comprised of healthy ingredients – what’s not to like?!? You’ll notice that my muffin…
Passion Fruit Oatmeal
I was in Mexico with my family the first time I ever tried passion fruit. I was immediately hooked and ate about 20 of them every day until we headed back home! My mom tried so hard to find them where we lived in CT but none of the stores sold them at the time….
Double Berry Pecan Oatmeal Bake
As much as I love oatmeal, sometimes even 10 extra minutes before work is too much time to spare on breakfast. An alternative is an oatmeal bake – basically an oatmeal casserole – and they are the perfect solution and last all week when kept in the fridge. Just portion out a piece each morning…
Asian Edamame Avocado Salad
I absolutely love making quinoa salads – they are so versatile, hold up well as leftovers and are such a great and hearty side dish. This week, to go with my Asian sesame salmon, I made this edamame avocado salad and I think you’ll love it! Feel free to adjust the veggies – you can…
Cowboy Caviar
I remember the first time I ever had this – I was in Saratoga Springs for a reunion with my college roommates. We were staying at one of the girl’s parents’ house who also happens to be a fantastic chef and an even better hostess – we were never without food or drink. My kind…
