We've all been there. After a full day of hustling at work or at school, meetings, maybe a workout squeezed in, you arrive home to an empty fridge. Before you jump to Seamless for your evening's sustenance, consider a veggie burger.
Not all veggie burgers are created equal. I recently teamed up with well + good to discuss which store-bought options fit my bill for clean and conscious eating. You can see the feature here.

Summertime, when the eatin's easy. The produce is getting amazing, and the farmers' markets are bursting with incredible inspiration. This summertime salad features ingredients that you likely received in your CSA box or can easily procure at your local greenmarket. My mother-in-law made this salad at a recent family gathering. It immediately won me over due to its layer upon layer of crunchy goodness as well as its complexity of flavors. Pickled onions, roasted cauli and beets, zesty dressing, protein-filled quinoa, and the option of robust blue cheese make this summer salad a bonafide winner. This crunch fest can easily serve as a fully balanced meal or as a summery side. Since durable and hearty kale is the foundation, this salad is great to make ahead and enjoy for the next day or two.

I have a confession. I have a secret obsession with hot dogs. To be honest, I cannot remember the last time I actually had a real one. I often imagine the sensation of the snap when biting into a crispy juicy dog and piling it high with relish, onions, celery salt - all sandwiched between a perfectly griddled bun. I am all for living a balanced lifestyle and not feeling like you are constantly missing out. However, once I start thinking about forced meat loaded with sodium, nitrates, preservatives, and other not so health-supportive ingredients, my hot dog eating fantasies usually disappear. If you can find a butcher who uses high quality sustainable meat or brands utilizing clean ingredients, then go live out your hot dog eating dreams. If you are a die hard veghead, these carrot dogs will help make any 4th of July hot dog eating fantasies come true.

Now that summer is officially here, what better way to celebrate then with a summer roll! When the heat is at its peak, the last thing I ever want to do in my NYC kitchen is turn on the oven. Chilled wine and raw or slightly heat-kissed veggies are my recipe for summertime success. Summer rolls are nothing new, but they serve as the perfect vehicle to eat the rainbow, to get in your veggies, and can be a fun and interactive food to make with a buddy or a child.
