Steak Tacos with Parsley + Radish Salsa & Lime Guacamole
In Israel, my dinner of choice was shwarma from a tiny shop near our apartment. They piled their sandwiches with roasted eggplant, fiery s’chug, french fries, onions, hummus, cabbage, salad and tahini, and although it took serious effort to stay clean while eating, boy, was that a sandwich. Since then, I’ve been in love with the concept…

Honeyed Asparagus, Beet & Chevre Crostini
For one hot minute, I thought spring wasn’t going to come. I envisioned endless winter nights, sunglasses that would never see the light of day, too many oranges, and a devastating dearth of peaches.

Strawberry Yogurt Bowls with Homemade Granola
Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. It’s quick, filling, and requires no coordination when you’re running late and need to leave the house. Most mornings, I’ll usually just grab a Greek yogurt and toss in some packaged granola. But one weekend, with more time to spare and room for a little…

Baked Eggs with Snap Peas & Asparagus
I’m constantly looking for new ways to update my breakfast routine and these baked eggs with snap peas and asparagus fit the bill. They’re filling, delicious and easy to put together; you can substitute vegetables like peppers and spinach for the asparagus and snap peas, but these are two of my personal favorites, and since…
