When cucumbers are in season, it takes everything in my power to not combine them with tomatoes for every salad (like this sumac chickpea salad). Then I remember that I can make a refreshing, beautiful salad without the pop of red. I originally threw this cucumber quinoa salad together with ingredients I happen to have…

Cucumber Satay Crunch Salad- A Modern Way to Eat
Over the past month and a half, I have mastered the art of eating one handed. I joked with M that when I broke my wrist snowboarding last winter, it was in some way preparing me for only having one hand with which to do anything (thanks to having a baby in the other arm)….

Summer Farro Salad with Tomatoes
Cookouts and get-togethers are in full swing. While I love seeing family and friends, I always worry about the food being served. I’ve become such a finicky eater in the past few years that traditional summer fare doesn’t really appeal to me. The one nice thing, however, is that with my reputation of loving food,…
