Eggplant, Potatoes, Tomatoes & More!
Last week, I gave my family members a sincere promise that I would move on from my Indian food obsession and so, with some reluctance, I have. Now that June is rolling in and Texas produce is hitting its peak, I welcome back some old friends in the forms of shiny purple eggplants, first of…
Read MoreOn The Homestretch & A Green Bean Salad
So, it’s come to this and I am really not sure if it’s even such a bad thing. I have a confession: After a beautiful morning swim at Barton Springs pool, I admit I then spent a good portion of my Mother’s Day writing a chapter on the importance of babies pooping on a regular…
Read MoreCauliflower Korma & My Next Big Project
So, last week Aaron and I laid out a backward plan in which for me to complete the chapter drafts of my next book on Gemmotherapy for Babies and Young Children. By all estimations, it’s a pretty rigorous schedule. But, then again, that’s how I seem to function at my best. When we wrapped up…
Read MoreHeidi Swanson’s Leek Soup With Hazelnuts
If you could prepare only one more soup before spring weather turns to summer this would be my suggestion.

Read MoreBake Your Own Flat Breads
I’ve raised three creative children who are, each in their own right, gifted in the kitchen. While the oldest two girls are fully launched with kitchens of their own, I still share mine with my youngest, Sebastian. To say he is an obsessive maker is hardly an exaggeration. And though much of his work is…
Read MoreGirl’s Weekend Recipes & Fun
Writing this on my flight back home to Austin from an annual get-together with my high school girlfriends and I just can’t stop smiling. First and foremost, my smile is because I am literally filled to the brim with love for those amazing women. The other reason is for the outright healthy fun we had…

Read MoreSeasonal Sides VII: Spaghetti Squash
We can always use one more spaghetti squash recipe and this one is so easily adaptable it makes a great go-to! I have to admit, there are mixed feelings in our family when it comes to spaghetti squash but, since I happen to love it, we give it another try every so often hoping to…
Read MoreCarrot Fries
Oh, carrots! You have been so loyal to us all these years, yet are continually upstaged by the likes of Brussels sprouts and kale. It’s high time carrots have their moment, rather than continually carrying the supporting role. What’s not to love about carrots? They are available year round, ridiculous affordable, hold well in the…
Read MoreSeasonal Sides IV: Brussels Sprouts
Members of the cabbage family, Brussels sprouts are in the same category as collard greens, broccoli, kale, and kohlrabi. There are actually many varieties available and some are even purple, such as the Ruby Crunch or Red Bull. Early species of Brussels sprouts originated in ancient Rome. However, the cultivation of what we know today…
Read MoreSeasonal Sides II: Cauliflower
I pretty am sure our household has single-handedly helped increase the sale of cauliflower the past years. I buy a gorgeous head or two every week without fail and continually fall in love with new ways to prepare this versatile vegetable. While the creamy white colored heads of cauliflower clusters are what traditionally come to…
