SAGE BLUEBERRY PIE WITH SOUR CREAM VANILLA BEAN CRUST.

Perhaps it’s always been this way, but now more than ever it seems our holidays are signified largely by their gustatory companions. Pumpkin pie means Thanksgiving. Chocolate gelt means Hanukkah. Fourth of July means blueberry pie. Most people could recite…

This post was created in partnership with Naked Juice. All opinions are my own. In the summer, we left Hawaii. We packed suitcases and blew up inflatable neck pillows and got on planes and went places that looked nothing like…

RAINBOW GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWLS.

EMILY DICKINSON’S RED WINE PLUM COMPOTE WITH CHAMOMILE VANILLA BEAN CREAM | ONE WEEK IN AMHERST.

We drove up from New York, past the river, past the old neighborhoods that used to be rich, past the forests. We drove to Massachusetts, a car full of strangers eating yogurt-covered snacks and sharing leftover potato salad. We got…

I woke up this morning to rain. Real rain, rain that does not demure, does not disappear with a coastal breeze, does not tease. Serious rain. East coast rain. Amherst rain. The sweetest relief. I blabbed my excitement about it…

ROASTED CORN SALAD WITH PEPITA CILANTRO DRESSING.

Hello from New York! It’s a balmy 80º at 8 am, and I’m already dreading this afternoon’s sweatfest. It went from near-winter to dead-of-summer overnight here, and I’ve arrived just in time for the relentless heat. Initially I’d planned to…
