I could eat this every day. I got inspired for this recipe by a cauliflower dish in Gwyneth Paltrow’s It’s All Good. It pretty much is all good. I highly recommend her cookbook. Gwyneth has you roast the cauliflower and chickpeas and then pour her dressing recipe on right before serving. I personally like to […]

I begin today’s post with a raw and honest confession. I am a recovering perfectionist. I am way less uptight than I used to be. I sometimes settle for good enough and feel satisfied. I serve cakes that have flopped and order takeout. I don’t reply as quickly to emails as I once did. And […]

Gooey, flavorful, light and satisfying. Need I say more? The original inspiration for this recipe came from one of my visits to Canyon Ranch. They serve their version of this bread every morning at their rocking breakfast buffet (I don’t recommend eating this daily, it’s extremely hard to resist). Here is my spiced up gluten-free […]

TOFU? Really? You might be rolling your eyes, but let me tell you this recipe may convert non-tofu eaters into tofu-cravers. Why? The tofu takes on the flavor of the marinade and when you crisp these little bites in the oven they get caramelized on the corners and taste divine. I like serving these as […]

They say you “don’t make friends with salad”. And brussel sprouts are certainly not a sure-fire way of making friends either. But trust me, these two signature ingredients will soon have you winning people over. This post was previously featured in Little Steps, the go-to guide for parents in Hong Kong, but I have since adapted […]

I created this tabouleh by accident. I was chopping up herbs and veggies for an Israeli salad when I noticed I had some dehydrated crispy quinoa on the countertop. I threw some in and it added such a fun crunch and flavor that I kept making it over and over again.

Weighing more than you did pre-kids or an accumulation of mommy-stress can obviously contribute to a bloated belly, but often the real cause is a separation of your abdominal muscles, known as diastasis recti.

The only way to guarantee my family eats a variety of foods every morning is to adhere to our weekly breakfast menu. Otherwise, my teenager would just eat cereal and milk every day because it’s easy. And since I’m a massive believer in making sure I don’t deprive my kids of any of the fun stuff, Wednesday is […]
