A big, big thank you to everyone who joined in on the Beach Tank KAL! It was so inspiring to see all the projects roll in on the #beachtankKAL hashtag on Instagram – the variety of yarns, colors and modifications were incredible. During the past month, I knit two beach tanks for myself – the […]
Have you joined the Beach Tank knitalong yet? I’m so thrilled by the enormous response on Instagram, and have already seen a few new tanks on the needles. But if you’ve grabbed the pattern and stopped there – trying to choose which yarns to use – this post is for you. But before we talk about […]
Hey friends! It’s been a minute. I’ve taken a hiatus from my blog for awhile, mostly because life, being life, gets busy and this blog – one of my main creative outlets for over five years – started to feel more like a responsibility and less like an inspiration. But I never wanted to turn off the switch for […]
If you’re the kind of person who eats french fries with her ketchup; if you like your pies as adventurous as your women; if okra slime really gets you going; then this pie is for you. With tart green tomatoes, sliced stars of okra, and an ample dose of brown sugar and golden raisins, this pie […]

Mollie Katzen was at Sixth and I synagogue talking about her latest cookbook, The Heart of the Plate, tonight. With her groundbreaking hand-drawn Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, Mollie was truly a pioneer for transforming the dinner plate and putting vegetables in the limelight, rather than the conventional serving of meat. During this golden age of […]
The last unofficial weekend of summer was spent with my family on Chincoteague Island, a tiny barrier island off the coast of Virginia. The sun was hot and the ocean water was cold. We made a big peach pie using my friend Kari‘s secret recipe. Ate fresh littleneck clams by the handful. Went for late […]
This isn’t a recipe for sweet bread and butter pickles that you pile onto your summer burger. These pickles are something quite different. These pickles are alive. Lacto-fermented for a week in brine heavily seasoned with garlic and flowering dill, simple Kirby cucumbers transform into crisp, sour pickles, filled with beneficial bacteria that improve digestion and […]
When summer calls for a dessert, I usually bake up a fresh fruit pie or find the closest ice cream parlor.
