This peach crisp recipe is a delicious, easy summer dessert. Just slice up some sweet, juicy peaches, toss them with a little sugar, flour, lemon, and vanilla, and bake them with a quick brown sugar and oat crumble on top. The whole thing calls for 10 ingredients and is ready in under 45 minutes. Peak-season peaches have always been one of my favorite parts of summer. While there’s nothing I love more than eating one over the sink, the juice dripping down my chin, this fresh peach crisp recipe is a close second. I’ve been making it for years, and […]

Last weekend, I came home from the farmers market with tender asparagus, bright pink radishes, lush greens, and sweet, juicy sugar snap peas. Spring can sometimes get a slow start in April, but with the arrival of these spring vegetables, I’m calling it official: peak spring is here. For the next few weeks, I’ll be cooking spring vegetable recipes nonstop. Some of my favorites, like this asparagus risotto and meaty steamed artichokes, are best reserved for relaxed weekend cooking, but there are plenty of others that are entirely weeknight-possible. Below, you’ll find the quick and easy spring vegetable recipes I make […]

I’ve been making this banana muffin recipe on repeat lately! Adapted from my healthy banana bread, it’s made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. But even though these muffins are healthy, they’re super moist, fluffy, and full of sweet banana flavor. Kids and adults (well, at least Ollie, Jack, and me) can’t get enough of them. I love these healthy banana muffins for breakfast or as a snack. We’ve been going through them pretty quickly in our house (I’ve made them 3 times this month already!), but if you have more restraint than we do, they’re great […]

This vegan French toast recipe is just as good as the classic kind! It’s fluffy on the inside, crisp around the edges, and has a lightly sweet cinnamon flavor. You might think that it takes fussy ingredients to make French toast without eggs, but this recipe is secretly simple. Made with 9 pantry basics and ready in 20 minutes, it’s an easy, comforting, and delicious breakfast. I first tried vegan French toast years ago (like…25) at the Pick Me Up Café in Chicago. Jack and I went there regularly when we had just started dating long distance and he would […]

This vegan pho recipe is a delicious plant-based spin on the classic Vietnamese noodle soup. It’s an updated version of a recipe I first shared in 2016, inspired by the vegetarian pho from a Vietnamese restaurant near our house. The richly spiced broth is full of shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, and tons of slurp-able noodles. Topped off with fragrant herbs and a squeeze of lime juice, it’s vibrant, bright, and comforting all at once. It’s a perfect recipe to make when you’re craving something cozy, yet fresh (which for me is just about every day in winter). Heads up that […]
