I’m always looking for appetizers that are vegetable-based, so when I whipped up this eggplant appetizer, I was hooked. I found these little fairytale eggplants at the Union Square farmers market and couldn’t resist their petite stature. Eggplant is a funny vegetable.

Every Monday morning on Instagram, I post an inspirational photo [you can follow me here!]. Monday brings a fresh start to the week, a new opportunity for change and making healthy choices.

Monday morning on the subway, I read all 450 Reddit comments about Sunday’s Homeland episode. I’m literally in a huge internet black hole of Homeland and Serial. But I don’t care!

I often serve cheese plates when I am hosting guests for dinner or drinks, and I sometimes offer to bring cheese plates when I am a guest at someone else’s home! Who doesn’t love cheese? If you are a cheese lover, be sure to check out my recipe for cheddar and chive buttermilk biscuits. With the holidays quickly
I’m a farmer’s market fanatic. Remember this recipe for kale butternut squash lentils or this recipe for Sicilian roasted cauliflower or this recipe for homemade cauliflower soup? All farmer’s market treasures, and this recipe is no different — heirloom carrots and fresh herbs. Heirloom carrots are gorgeously colored in rich jewel tones and have a
