Jalapeno Popper Potato Salad. Try saying that three times, fast. This salad has all the comfort food notes of my dreams: creamy baby potatoes wrapped in cheesy sauce, studded throughout with roast jalapenos and flecked with green onions and fresh chives. The cheesiness, however, is deceptively dairy & egg free. Instead, the silky sauce that […]
Baked Everything Bagel Salmon with Spring Pea Salad & Caper Sour Cream
Clearly the star of today’s recipe is the everything bagel salmon here. A simple crust of everything bagel seasoning is such a quick, easy yet surprisingly elegant way to dress up some salmon. But I’ve got to say that I’m really enjoying this un-fussy take on salad that makes these bright and vibrant peas really […]

Herbed & Poached Radish Salad
Are you a radish lover or hater? I’m gonna assume, since you’re here looking at a poached radish salad that’s approximately 98% radishes… probably the former. Me, not so much. I don’t exactly hate them, but I’ve always thought of them as a little boring. If a vegetable with as much of a peppery bite […]
