Hi guys! I loved hearing from so many of you following my last post (ICYMI: Easy Garlicky White Beans + Couscous) and figured that, in case more of you were actually into the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese recipe that I teased than let on, I'd follow things up with a little detoxifying green "juice." Maybe you made the mac...
I know school's out for a lotta folks, but we've got a couple of months left — and even when that's over, there's still swim and gymnastics and camp and just life asking us to live it. (The nerve!) And before ALL of that gets underway, there needs to be: breakfast.
I have a friend whose daughter happily eats the...
Easy Garlicky White Beans with Couscous — a well-balanced, vegan family-friendly recipe that comes together in about 20 mins.
Hi friends! Emily here, sharing my first recipe for you fiiiine readers of TME. Before we get into the details of these Easy Garlicky White Beans with Couscous, a little about me and my food philosophy.
Our family is pretty special-diet agnostic...
Shana and I have this little joke that's been going on for years now. She likes to think she's a food blogger. It's kiiind of her favorite thing in the world to be "whipping up" something, anything and to narrate it to whoever happens to be in her kitchen.
For those of you who have been with us for a...
I'll be honest. I'm not typically someone who sets goals for the New Year, you guys. I was talking to a friend the other day, and I'm actually not one who sets goals at all. Ha. Is that bad? I'm a do-er, I realized. If I want to do something, I just start down the path to getting it...
Fall is here!....At least in the Northwest, and I couldn't be happier. It's easily my favorite time of year for many reasons, one of those being soup. Sounds exciting, I know. But if you're a fellow soup fanatic like me, you get it. I'll admit I wasn't always excited about soup...until I started making my own. There is nothing...
Every summer we rent a shore house with our friends, Greg and Christine. They have twin girls Pax's age, and are just a ton of fun. There's surfing and beach-going and puzzles and — my absolute favorite part — the food. Christine is a whiz in the kitchen, and her crabcakes have become legendary in our friend group. She...
The Mediterranean Diet:
Simple, right? Absolutely! Keep your shopping list limited to these foods for love, family, and health:
Olive oil, fruits, veggies, fish + lean proteins, whole grains, legumes, and a glass of Red Wine! Amen for that!
Health
Some follow a strict Mediterranean diet to reduce risks of heart disease; some to lower unhealthy cholesterol and increase healthy cholesterol. Others follow...
This article was supposed to be about Chex Mix. Specifically, Mom's Chex Mix . . . the BEST recipe, which, true to my mom, has many little steps she's honed over the years for the perfect recipe. We wore our favorite comfy loungewear and spent the afternoon baking. But I've been finding it hard to write this post. I...
So....Mike and I are pretty great cooks. Actually, Mike is downright amazing. HOWEVER: Should you ever come to our pad for dinner, you may leave wondering what the hell happened. More often than not, we'll be running so behind that you'll have to help. Our kitchen will be a disaster. Something will have been horribly over-salted, and there's always...
