I feel great about giving Nala these treats because I know exactly what’s in them. And if you have an insane cookie cutter collection like me, then you can use this one recipe for any holiday you wish. Don't forget ...
Smoked Pumpkin Mac + “Cheese”
Delicious creamy pumpkin pasta without any cheese AND with added fiber? Believe it! I don't know about you, but this time of year I get really fired up about all of the pumpkin products. And then eventually I get burned out on all the pumpkin-y sweets. This creamy mac and "cheese" is a great savory pumpkin option. An full can of fiber-full pumpkin goes into the sauce. The smoked paprika ...

Kale, Apple, + Roasted Chickpea Salad with Garlic Tahini Dressing
Now that honeycrisp apples are in season, I've found myself eating this salad way too often. Between the crunchy roasted chickpeas and the chopped apples, this salad has great texture. It's very satisfying as a stand-alone meal, but you can always add sliced chicken if you'd like. My inspiration for this dish came from the minimalist baker's garlicky kale salad with crispy chickpeas. Her ...
Claire’s Lemon + Rosemary Chicken
I remember perfectly the first time my college roommate Claire made this chicken dish. The whole house smelled wonderful, and I was amazed by how easy, healthy, and juicy the chicken was. Claire has graciously allowed me to share this recipe with you, in the hopes that you will enjoy it as much as she and her mom have for years! I love how versatile this dish is. The chicken breasts ...
Roasted Radishes + Carrots
Guys. Did you know that roasted radishes are delicious? Am I the only person who is just discovering this quick and easy side dish? I’ve always loved fresh radishes chopped in my salads, as a carrier for hummus, and atop a baguette with salted butter a la the French. But until recently, I had no idea how the humble radish transforms in the oven. The flavor of the radish changes during ...

Nutella Spritz Sandwich Cookies
My grandmother bought me a cookie press this year (Thanks Nana!), and I absolutely love it. I've been looking for ways to use the press outside of the holiday season, when most home cooks whip theirs out for christmas tree and wreath-shaped cookies. Cheese straws are an obvious choice, but I'll share more on that later. Spritz cookies are a classic use for the cookie press. The cookies are so ...
Martha Stewart’s Tomato Zucchini Pie
Although we are several weeks into the season of pumpkin everything, there are still late summer tomatoes and zucchini available at the farmer’s market. I love pumpkin and soups as much as the next girl, but summer produce is my main squeeze. If there are still local tomatoes around, you can bet I’m buying them. Classic tomato pie is one of my all-time favorite dishes. Recently, I had a ...
