Sometimes you just need some bright and beautiful. It’s august. Where has the time gone? I find myself clinging to summer like it’s that last day of vacation and the sun is falling down on the horizon but if you stand there and stare at it, maybe it’ll last just one moment longer. Don’t come…

Autumn Kale Salad with Apples
well hey there November, didn’t you just come in like a bloody wrecking ball? whether you’re an indians fan or a cubs fan, a democrat or a republican – it’s been a head-spinning. roller coaster of a fall in my little world. sometimes you need to take life by the teaspoon. i don’t know what…
Country Frisee Salad
this salad will change you for good. i had this salad recently at the odeon in nyc – which – you must go to. it’s in tribeca and is a neighborhood staple. everyone you see there looks important. it’s not so important that they are important (though many of them are) as much as the…
Flank Steak Salad with Blue Cheese and Arugula
what question really sets you off? you’re at a cocktail party, or maybe it’s a work event, a client meeting. somewhere where the people don’t know you all that well but you’re forced to make conversation with them and someone asks you that question. and if there isn’t alcohol nearby, you’re in real britney spears 2000 when…
Kale Caesar Salad with Crispy Chickpeas

Southwestern Sweet Potato Salad (Black Bean Burger Salad)
welp, that was embarrassing. go ahead and add that to the leaning tower of pisa of things that made me cringe inside. i went to go get sushi the other night. i got my usual order (volcano roll meeee) and when i went to pay the guy goes “you ordered online right?” sure did. “you…
Pomegranate, Kale, and Avocado Salad
hey, girl, heyyyyy. (or boy. is there a boy that reads this blog? if so, that might change things. or it might not. probably not. there’s really only one mode when i get to typing here on this typewriter/iMac. the new year has made me nostalgic for the past.) speaking of the past, do you…
Fall Arugula Salad with Lemon Balsamic Dressing
i’m having a serious love affair right now. i am swooning over this weather and these fall vegetables. i’m just on board with the fresh produce. which is kind of a miracle on 34th street because this time of year is all about the carbs, and the butta. is there a single recipe that calls…
