Making a pan of granola bars is something that saves us every week. Whether it’s a family bike ride, or Kyle and Aidan running off to soccer practice or Saturday morning errands requiring breakfast on the go, we love these. Audrey thinks they’re the best treat.
My friend Jenna launched a project of her own last year, The Salad Club. This awesome idea supports local farmers, delicious food and brings people in the community together once a week for a salad or soup meal that the person can sit down and eat with others, or grab and go.
For all the kale and beets and ginger and root vegetables you will inevitably see all over this site, let it be known: THERE WILL BE CHOCOLATE. I have an undeniable weakness for dark chocolate, and I’ll never give it up.
My husband has been a vegetarian for 15 years (the same amount time I’ve known him, though not the same amount of time we’ve been married), so much of the food on this site focuses around whole foods and stuff that comes out of the ground, as that is primarily what I cook.

Having friends over, yes. Putting it in the toddler’s cup when she’s giving her green beans the evil eye, yes.
