I made this salad for a Father’s Day BBQ and ended up eating it all week.

Preserving lemons extracts the lemon juice and softens the peel, which you can then cut into tiny pieces and use to flavor dishes just as you would salt.

I often drink very green smoothies (spinach, coconut milk, chia, flax, coconut meat, lemon juice, and a few blueberries) so this flavor combination was a really nice change.

Panzanella

Bread salad.  It’s a thing.  And if you’re feeling fancy, you can refer to it as panzanella.  It’s an excellent way to use stale bread and a fast, satisfying contribution to an end-of-summer picnic.

Fire Roasted Red Peppers

You’ll feel a little dangerous making this recipe—an open fire, a pair of tongs, and one juicy red bell pepper just waiting to be charred.

Roasted Carrots + Carrot Top Pesto

I love recipes that create zero waste, like these roasted carrots drizzled with a pesto made from carrot leaves instead of basil (buh-bye half-consumed-wilted-container of basil).

I created this recipe to make crab cakes without the filler—just pure lump crab, a few simple ingredients, and homemade breadcrumbs (if you’re feelin’ fancy).  Top (extra generously) with mango salsa and you’ve got yourself a bite of heaven.

This soup is an excellent party dish because it’s show-stoppingly beautiful, it comes together in a flash, and it can be made ahead.  Serve it hot or cold.

I made my first batch of pickled onions a few months ago and haven’t been able to stop.  The jar sits in my fridge, and I just grab a little forkful for tacos, salads, nachos, even avocado toast.  They add the prettiest pop of pink.

Mexican Street Corn

There’s a lot to love about elotes, or Mexican street corn.  Think grilled corn on the cob fancied up with lime juice, chile powder, and cotija cheese.  But, this dish posed two problems for me.  First, I don’t have a grill.  Second, I really dislike one of the main ingredients: mayonnaise.

Frosé

While rosé is perfectly delicious and refreshing right out of the bottle, it reaches new heights as frosé—a brut rosé sweetened ever so slightly with homemade lavender simple syrup then frozen to a slushy consistency.

I challenged Alex to create a lumpia recipe that could be baked, because many of you don’t own deep fryers.  He began experimenting, and the Berry Ricotta 4th of July Lumpia was soon born.

Organic & Biodynamic Wine with Wine+Moxxi

Drinks, Tips, Archived

Biodynamic wine is produced using only natural and holistic practices.  For example, cows might be onsite to make compost and fertilize the vines; and rather than machinery, sheep prune the vineyard.  The symbiotic relationship between the environment and the grapes makes a biodynamic vineyard flourish.

The contrast between the tart grapefruit and sweet, caramelized sugar is magic.   Drizzle with homemade balsamic reduction for a show-stopping dish.

Because refined sugar has such severe health consequences, I’m always looking for ways to satisfy that sweet craving with something healthier.  Cue: healthy sweet potato brownies (can I get an amen?!).  You would never know the base of this sweet treat is nutrient-rich sweet potato.

Dessert doesn’t have to be bad for you.  Instead, get creative and find a new way to incorporate something healthy.  If I need something sweet to satisfy me after dinner, I reach for one of these superfood chocolates.

Why wait in line for brunch and bottomless mimosas (with undesirable juice-to-champagne ratios) when you can recreate your own mimosa bar at home?  Give your traditional mimosa bar some oomph with a few fun, unexpected twists: flower ice cubes, fruit peel cut-outs, berry skewers, unicorns, and blood orange!

This recipe is so simple: Put everything in the blender and voila!  When choosing your crudité, or dipping vegetables, be mindful to choose organic whenever possible.
