Posting a recipe for “puree” makes me feel as though I’m a thirty-year-old woman who eats stuff that looks and sounds like baby food. Which, let’s face it, is the truth. When the baby food in question is as easy and simple as this butternut squash and tahini puree, I’ll own it. On Wednesday, I [...]

One of my major healthy eating tips for busy people is to spend a little while on weekends (or off days) making staples. “Staple” will vary from person to person, but for me, weekly staples include salad dressings, grains, beans cooked from scratch, a raw nut spread or pate, and a raw ball or bar [...]

Happy Monday! Hope your weekends were pleasant, and that you’re welcoming the early chill of fall (if you’re in the Northeast) with as much glee as I am.
