I stand over the sink rinsing a bunch of kale before separating the stems from the leaves. With each tear a comforting “crunch” resounds and then the familiar jingle of Charlie’s collar as he trots into the kitchen, stops at my feet and looks up at me expectantly. I hand him the kale stalk I […]

I made this salad this weekend for David, Ashleigh and Thibault and it knocked all of our socks off! Really it blew us away. It was different and fresh. The cumin dressing was really tasty and it inspired me to start making more of my own dressings! Heidi Swanson works some real magic on 101 […]

This is another one of my go to salads. I am filling up on its deliciousness as I write this post. In each bite the crunch of the pepper and cabbage is followed by creamy notes of avocado and cannellini bean. A salty, olive-y punch concludes the perfect bite. Easy, delicious and healthy. I hope […]
