Hi everyone! I’m so excited for strawberry season. To celebrate, here is my strawberry kale salad with balsamic vinaigrette. It is one of my favorite salads made with kale, quinoa, shaved parmesan, red onions & sunflower seeds. In addition, a bunch of talented bloggers are contributing fabulous recipes today all containing strawberries - see the hashtag #strawberriesarethejam 🍓🍓👏-I’ve tagged them below in the comments too. Thanks to @squaremealroundtable, @joyosity & @whatannieseating for organizing & hosting. The recipe for my strawberry kale salad is up on the blog now 👆link attached in profile. #eatonhealth #feedfeed #thenewhealthy #thecookfeed #wholefoodsfaves #imsomartha
Here is the beautiful spread of food made from Jan @millielottietotes. Jan threw a delicious spring get together over the weekend (you can see more on my stories). The delicious cupcakes & petit macaroons peeking on the far left corners were made from @champagneandcookies. And that roasted beet hummus had my 😍❤️ It matches the lipgloss I purchased from local maker @elizstcosmetics 👏. I’m always amazed and inspired by simple food that is presented with such love & care.

Happy Monday everyone! Here are the most delish green beans, recipe from @laurentoyota’s new #hotforfoodcookbook “Vegan Comfort Classics: 101 Recipes to Feed Your Face”. It’s dressed up here with EVOO, carmelized shallots, lemon juice & zest, edible flowers & vegan parmesan which is a mixture of nutritional yeast, salt & almonds. You blend them together to create this crazy good topping that Lauren calls “the parm”. I can see using it on so many things like steamed broccoli, brussels etc- it is so addicting that I was eating it by the spoonful- literally feeding my face! 🙊🙈😋The book is filled with colorful, fresh & flavorful food- vegan or not there is something in here for everyone. And I’ll never go back to eating green beans the same way 💚 #tenspeedpress #eatonhealth #feedfeed #thenewhealthy #f52grams #f52april #buzzfeedfood #healthyish #bareaders #meatlessmonday #eatyourgreens #realfood #thrivemags #inseasonnow #greenbeans #cagrown #myamazonkitchen #shareyourtable #foodandwine #inspiremyinstagram #thecookfeed #goopmake #cookandtell #thekitchn #tastingtable #veganfoodshare #foodblogfeed #makesmewhole
When I started my blog, I had no idea that it would lead me to meet so many lovely, talented & passionate foodies- it’s been such a sweet surprise ❤️Later this week Kortney from @allergy_girl_eats is traveling from Germany to California w/ a stopover in Berkeley 👏Kortney has been such a source of inspiration to me - she shares her authentic real life story on what it’s like as an adult living with food allergies. ...As a mama( I have no food allergies) but raising children with food allergies our perspectives are similar yet slightly different. It is hard not to feel defined by your chronic health condition. It takes up so much of your mental & physical space.. keeping my little one safe can feel like a monumental task sometimes. I wish it were as easy as keep them away from ingesting food( she’s also contact allergic) but there are so many social & emotional components that accompany this condition. When I start to doubt if she can have a life full of travel, relationships & more, I fall back to people like Kortney & so many others who provide me a cushion of support & hope 🙏 So on the menu for our visit, I’m planning on making this simple bowl of chana masala aka chickpea curry. It can be served with a side of coconut rice or naan. It’s vegan & allergy-friendly too 👏❤️ I’ll work on getting the recipe on the blog soon. #eatonhealth #feedfeed #f52grams #thecookfeed #tastingtable #recipeoftheday #desifood #plantbased #veganfoodshare #indiancuisine #buzzfeedfood #thenewhealthy #bbcgoodfood #storyofmytable #foodblogfeed #recipeoftheday #shareyourtable #chickpeacurry #healthyish #bareaders #ediblesf #eattherainbow #organicmoments #livecolorfully #allergyfriendly #eatgoodfeelgood #beautifulhealth #foodallergies #foodallergymom
The weather has been beautiful here so we went for a walk over the weekend and our neighbor left a box of meyer lemons on the sidewalk for everyone to enjoy. We took some home & made lemonade. It’s one of my little girl’s favorite thing to make-sweetened only with honey, lemons, water & mint from our little container pot. The gorgeous indigo wrap is from @millielottietotes - Jan makes the most beautiful food & picnic totes, hand made locally in sf & perfect to wrap up your delicious eats for a picnic or market haul.

Hi friends, here are my orange blossom coconut macaroons just in time for Easter, Passover or to celebrate the weekend 💃. There are only a few simple ingredients; orange blossom honey, sugar, eggs & orange zest. It’s my favorite back pocket dessert which you can whip up in a pinch. Growing up, dessert always included coconut which is a flavor that is near & dear to me and can be found in many of my own recipes now ❤️. The macaroons are drizzled in dark chocolate 👏 Recipe can be found on the blog archives under dessert- temporary link attached in profile. #eatonhealth #feedfeed #passoverdesserts #baking #bakefeed #imsomartha #wsbskeclub #flourless #dessert #onmytable #coconutmacaroons #bakersgonnabake #foodblogfeed #sweettooth #weekendbaking #f52bakingclub #bakersofinstagram #huffpostetaste #foodandwine #bakeit #todayfood
There are many nights where we just need a simple, quick meal and these days it seems like more often than not, simple is where it’s at. I like to make quesadillas with bean, cheese, sweet potato & top with this yummy avocado crema. It’s blended together with cilantro, parsley, garlic, lime, cumin, EVOO & a bit of yogurt. It also makes a great dip or spread. Recipe is found on the blog archives under “appetizers, snacks & beverages”. It can be made top 8 free too. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend 💚 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #thenewhealthy #thecookfeed #avocado #crema #wholefoodsfaves #healthysnacks #f52grams #goodmoodfood #saveurmag #healthyish #buzzfeast #foodgawker #tastingtable #thekitchn #gloobyfood #foodblogfeed #eatwellbewell #eatyourgreens #colorfulfood #beautifulcuisines #shareyourtable #forkfeed #organicmoments #eatgoodfeelgood #f52minimal #f52green
I’m always trying to figure out ways of getting more greens into the tummies of my little people- they love anything blended aka smoothies, sauces, curries but raw is harder -the struggle is real sometimes! So I just keep trying.. I took that beautiful purple kale from my stories yesterday and tossed it with some green curly kale I had leftover in the fridge & made @minimalistbaker kale chips( google her “how to make kale chips” recipe). It’s not raw but baked low & slow. I used nutritional yeast as my seasoning, salt, pepper & added sumac. A little yogurt with sumac & a squeeze of lemon for a dip - easy & simple and the whole plate was gone in an instant & no complaints 👏👏💚 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #kalechips #kaleyeah #thenewhealthy #eatingwelleats #goodmoodfood #feedfeed #feedfeedglutenfree #imsomartha #thecookfeed #inspiremyinstagram #sunsetmag #oaktownspiceshop #healthysnacks #healthysnacksforkids #kidshealth #eatyourgreens #poweredbyplants #huffpostgram #buzzfeedfood #tastingtable #healthyish #seasonalfood #minimalistbaker#f52grams
Happy St.Patrick’s Day everyone ☘️💚☘️. Here’s my green romanesco to celebrate today & even if you’re not celebrating, green is always a good idea 👏 #sfworkshop2018 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #cagrown #farmersmarketinspo #savmarketreport #f52grams #f52farmstand #food #ediblesf #eattherainbow #plantbased #eatrealfood #seasonaleating #foragebyfolk #veganfoodshare #seasonaleats #wholefoodsfaves #makesmewhole #inspiremyinstagram #healthyish #foodblogeats #freshproduce #localproduce #livecolorfully #romanesco #myamazonkitchen #shareyourtable #thecookfeed #prettyproduce
It’s been rainy & cold here so I’ve been craving all things comfort. Even with all the cooking I do, this mama needs some shortcuts so this lamb & squash tagine was made in my slow cooker. The recipe is from @liana_krissoff’s beautiful book “Slow Cook Modern”, which is filled with loads of slow cooker (aka crockpot) inspiration. This stew blends a mix of spices together; paprika, cumin, fennel & cinnamon. I added oregano, chickpeas & subbed beef with lamb. Throw in some currants (or raisins), sautéed onions, aleppo pepper & cilantro at the end for an easy but packed with flavor weeknight meal👏❤️ #eatonhealth #feedfeed #thecookfeed #myamazonkitchen #wholefoodsfaves #organicmoments #goopmake #huffpostetaste #foodblogfeed #recipeoftheday #tastingtable #foodandwine #realfood #f52swoosh #f52grams #comfortfood #slowcooker #lamb #eatclean #thekitchn #sfeats #eatingfortheinsta #thenewhealthy #feedyoursoul #shareyourtable #myopenkitchen #easymeals #cookandtell #bareaders
Hi friends- Happy #piday! Does galette count for pie?! I’m not much of a pie maker but thankfully Karlee @oliveandartisan can make a galette like no other 👏😃Here is a 📷 I snapped of her luscious vegan strawberry- lavender galette from #sfworkshop2018 ❤️ I can’t wait to use this combo in my own bakes soon. #eatonhealth #feedfeed #feedfeedvegan #piday #galette #strawberries #baking #imsomartha #marthabakes #goopmake #veganfoodshare #foodstyling #foodgawker #cookcl #foodandwine #bareaders #healthydessert #bakersgonnabake #instayum #tastespotting #bakingblog #wsbakeclub #darlingdaily #weekendbaking #pieart #myopenkitchen #thrivemags #thebakefeed #fromscratch
I’m wishing these blood oranges wouldn’t leave us just yet but for the meantime I’m enjoying them in all their glory. Hope everyone sailed through their Monday- this time change is killing me! 😳 🤦🏽‍♀️❤️ #eatonhealth #cagrown #farmersmarketinspo #foragebyfolk #feedfeed #healthyish #inspiremyinstagram #bloodoranges #citrusseason #f52farmstand #livecolorfully #localproduce #pursuepretty #f52grams #wholefoodsfaves #thenewhealthy #freshproduce #inseasonnow #eattherainbow #locavore #foragebyfolk #beautifulcuisines #eatwelllivewell #darlingdaily #realfood #seasonaleating #edibleeastbay
