The weather has started to turn rainy, which in Seattle is a sign of fall and winter coming. We’re having more and more cloudy days (which I love!) and the temperatures are cooling. But heirloom tomatoes are still the star of the farmers markets. Heirloom tomatoes taste like summer and, paired with the fresh, bright […]

Ginger Peanut Carrot Salad
We were at the vegetable stand the other day and they had organic purple carrots at 3 bunches for $1. Of course, we got three bunches and yesterday I whipped up a little raw carrot salad for lunch. I used the spiralizer, which was a bit tough with carrots — most of them turned out […]
Summer Salad with Balsamic, Strawberries and Pinenuts
We’re at the peak of strawberry season right now and I’ve been eating strawberries almost constantly — in my oatmeal, as a snack, as a topping for waffles, and now, in salads. The chickens who live in our backyard absolutely love when I cut the strawberry tops off and take them out for them to enjoy. […]
Green on Greens Salad
I’ve been easing back into the raw vegetable eating after having some pretty harsh, unexplained stomach issues over winter break. The raw veggies were just too hard on my digestive system, oddly, and I’ve been somewhat tentative about what I’m eating these days. I’m finally starting to feel like myself again and have been craving greens […]
Awesome Arugula Salad
The salad that went along with yesterday’s soup is a little crazy how good it is, considering how easy it is to make. Trying to recreate the nectarine soup and this salad was a fun challenge. I really had no idea how they were made, but in the end I think both recipes really get the […]
Roasted Beet and Orange Salad
I’m glad the vegetable pot pie provoked mouth-watering responses from the Pittsburgh crowd. Today, I’ve got another recipe for you. Though not what I would consider comfort food per se, this roasted beet salad has gorgeous coloring and a sweet citrus and earthy flavor. When I was in NY, I attended a board meeting for the […]
Beet, Fennel & Pomegranate Kale Salad
I’ve never been a big fan of beets, but I have set my mind to deciding to like them. About 7 or 8 years ago, I made a conscious decision to start liking olives and capers. I had always avoided them like the plague, but one day I went to the olive bar at Whole Foods […]
Kale Salad
This kale salad is one of my favorite foods right now. It’s easy to make, packed with vitamins and nutrients, and totally delicious. Also, it holds up well as left-overs. If I make it for dinner and toss it with the dressing, it’s one of the few salads that can survive (dressed) in a container […]
Fresh Spring Roll Vermicelli Salad
I love Vietnamese fresh spring rolls and got the hankering this weekend to try making them when I noticed how much thai basil we’ve got growing our garden! My sister makes them frequently and she makes it look very easy to make them. So, while on the phone with her yesterday, I tried to […]
