Just in time for shower season, a pretty pink dip perfect for celebrating a bride, a new graduate, or a tiny pink bundle of joy. The delicate earthy flavor of this beet hummus pairs perfectly with crisp vegetables and hearty crackers. Plus, it’s a cinch to make. Use white or yellow beets with just one red beet for that perfect pink hue. Beet hummus. Pretty perfect, don’t you think? Pretty…
I can’t take credit for these tasty nuggets. My mom made a batch and sent a container home with me a few weeks ago. They were for the kids. I ate them all. Oops. I thought I should make it up to them, so I made a batch. Then another. Then another. We have been having them once a week ever since. Partly because they’re so easy, partly because…
I remember the first time I set out to make my own pesto. I had seen TV chefs make it for years, and it seemed pretty simple. Plus, pesto is yum, and I wanted to eat more of it.

You know that thing when you’re invited to a party and you forget to put it on the calendar and all of a sudden you need a quick appetizer idea? No?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the urge to purge. Organize. Clean. I couldn’t figure out why, especially since I’m not an organized person at heart. Then it hit me: I’m nesting. No, not that kind of nesting. Spring Training starts this week. Which means a huge shift in our schedule, and the start of a long baseball season. Apparently I’ve been subconsciously getting prepared for this big change…
Have you ever tasted a turnip? Hey now, don’t turn up your nose at me (get it?). I promise, they’re really quite good. I had only tried them once or twice before as part of a root vegetable gratin, so when I found the bunch of turnips in my Agritopia CSA basket, I wondered what to do with them. Turnips are high in vitamin C, fiber and potassium, and have…
