Grilled Chicken Harvest Salad from Perfect Flavors
Grilled Chicken Harvest Salad is a meal in a bowl that's fresh, healthy and delicious! Today I want to share an incredibly delicious salad recipe with you, but first, I want to introduce you to an incredible new cookbook, Perfect Flavors. No, I didn't write it (the uber talented Naomi Nachman did that!) but I was the photographer for it, and was able to get a really close look at the process, as well as taste most of the delicious foods in this book. When Naomi started working on Perfect Flavors, she wanted to include an assortment of family-friendly dishes, creative recipes, and food from her travels all over the world. And let me tell you guys, she seriously delivered! In the … [Read more...]

Flourless Chocolate Almond Tuiles
**This recipe originally appeared in my monthly baking column in Ami's food magazine, Whisk.** So it's my third day in a row of passover baking, and I am already bored. Everything is so similar in texture when you don't use flour - or even matzah meal! I'm ready for something a little bit different, and I am sure y'all are too. I don't have time for a full post, but I did want to share this recipe. It was originally published last year in my column for Ami Magazine, but in case you missed it, totally make these. They aren't soft and chewy, rather thin, crispy, and wafer like. It's a nice change of pace - plus it would make a perfect crunchy accompaniment to some chocolate ice cream or … [Read more...]
