Happy Monday everyone ❤️These dry farmed tomatoes are my fav for making pizza or pasta sauce, jammy spread or soup. I buy a few pounds & throw them on a sheet pan( shown here pre-roast) w/ just EVOO, a generous amount of crushed garlic, salt & pepper. Place cut side down & don’t overcrowd ( like shown above 🙄😬) Roast at 375 for 1 hour, until blistered & jammy. Pulse together in a high powered blender or @vitamix. No prepping skins- they just become one yummy blissful sauce & you can throw in the oven while you make dinner. This is on repeat in my house & I freeze in small portions to use for later 🍅👏 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #thenewhealthy #tomatoes #inseasonnow #farmersmarketinspo #tomatoseason #realfood #healthyfoodshare #eatingwell #howisummer #realsimple #f52grams #imsomartha #thecookfeed #allergyfriendly #bareaders #foodandwine #gloobyfood #beautifulcuisines #foodblogfeed #farmtofork #inmykitchen #meatlessmonday #top8free
It’s that beautiful time of year again for fresh figs 💜 I’ve been seeing these pop up in my feed lately so I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes for this rustic fresh fig almond cake. It’s made with almond & spelt flours & flavored with vanilla, cinnamon & cardamom. It’s dairy free, made w/ olive oil & super easy to throw together just in time to celebrate fig season 💜 Recipe link in my profile, under desserts & sweet bites ☝️#eatonhealth #thebakefeed #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy #imsomartha #baking #figseason #figs #wsbakeclub #realfood #dairyfree #feedfeed #f52grams #bareaders #realsimple #foodandwine #howisummer #cake #saveurmag #beautifulcuisines #ediblesf #healthyish
Hi friends! I have a new post w/ the recipe for this blueberry cardamom sauce up on the blog ☝️. It’s served here over dairy free coconut ice cream. I also write about missing the slower days of summer and growing up in a time where we would just play outside all day with our neighborhood friends, something I wish my own kids could do more of....I meant to get this up sooner but summer has been busy 🙃🏃🏾‍♀️😌 & sorry if I’ve missed your posts! I hope all of you are having a sweet start to August 💙 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #driscolls #berrytogether #howisummer #thenewhealthy #imsomartha #thecookfeed #wholefoodsfaves #blueberries #blueberrysauce #summertreat #beautifulcuisines #eatingwelleats #spoonfeed #foodgawker #tastingtable #allergyfriendly #sodelicious #f52berry
Happy Friday everyone ❤️ I’m so happy for tomato season and thinking back to this quick -n-easy appetizer/ snack. Take some cherry tomatoes & sauté in a pan with EVOO, garlic, salt & pepper. Cook until tomatoes are slightly blistered, being careful not to burn garlic. I added cilantro to garnish but you can use any fresh herbs & chop up preserved lemons &/ or red pepper flakes for a kick of flavor. Top with more fresh herbs & you're left with a delicious jammy spread to spoon onto crusty bread or eat by the spoonful 👏 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #f52grams #howisummer #healthyish #tomatoes #eatingwell #thenewhealthy #cagrown #todayfood #bareaders #healthyfood #healthyfoodshare #whatveganseat #plantbaseddiet #thecookfeed #buzzfeast #imsomartha #top8free #allergyfriendly
I’m so happy my oven’s back on the mend- the first thing I wanted to bake was @teaforturmeric’s blueberry-lemon clafoutis. It’s a mystery why I haven’t made clafoutis before because it’s so yummy. Studded here with lots of delicious berries, almond flour, vanilla, lemon & eggs. I reduced the sugar just a bit to 1/4 cup & used sprouted spelt flour in replace of the GF flour that Izzah uses in her version. I made the batter in my blender the night before so all I had to do was bake it up the next day. Check out the recipe on her blog. It’s a total win in my book 👏💙 #eatonhealth #berrytogether #feedfeed #huffposttaste #bakersofinstagram #bakefeed #baking #clafoutis #blueberries #howisummer #todayfood #yahoofood #f52grams #healthyfoodshare #healthyish #thenewhealthy #eatingwelleats #realsimple #recipeoftheday #bonappetit #glutenfree #imsomartha
All of the celebrations in France this weekend had me thinking about my recent trip to Paris 💛if you are looking for a #meatlessmonday option try this fennel confit. It’s flavored with orange, garlic & bay leaves. We were lucky enough to photograph it before we dove in & feasted for lunch. The delicious, simple recipe was prepared by @themillycollective and can be found on Olaiya’s blog. It’s allergy- friendly too 👏Congratulations France 🎉 & Happy Monday everyone! #asweetfeast2018 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #thecookfeed #thekitchn #thenewhealthy #eatingwelleats #frenchfood #goop #veganfood #healthyfoodshare #todayfood #plantbaseddiet #shareyourtable #foodandwine #bonappetit #howisummer #top8free #foodblogfeed #yahoofood #healthyish #realsimple #realfood #allergyfriendly #fennel #plantstrong #thrivemags
Here’s my simple no cook sweet- n-spicy quick pickled mango. This is an in between version of a fermented mango chutney & achaar( a South Asian term for any type of fruit or veg pickled & marinated in an oil & spice brine). Should I call it achaartney?🙈🤣It’s my mamas recipe made w/ mustard seeds & crushed red peppers but you can play around & add other spices of choice too; fennel seeds, ginger etc. It tastes great as a condiment on sandwiches, eggs, South Asian food or even a cheese plate. Take a closer look at my stories today for the recipe if you’d like to give it a go. I’ll save it in highlights later too. Happy Friday sweet people 🌶 ❤️ #eatonhealth #thenewhealthy #fermentedfoods #achaar #mango #inseasonnow #gloobyfood #eattheworld #ethniccuisine #bbcgoodfood #nourishyoursoul #goodmoodfood #plantbased #vegan #todayfood #betterbutter #desi #indianfood #foodtalkindia #thecookfeed #myamazonkitchen #feedfeed #f52grams #f52fingerfoods #fromscratch #goop #saveurmag
Mediterranean food was something we missed dearly when we had to give up eating out as a family. We’ve experimented with loads of falafel recipes but hands down @ottolenghi’s falafel from his cookbook Jerusalem is our favorite. The hummus is a white cannellini bean dip, topped w/ parsley & paprika(tahini free). The recipe can be found on my blog under “appetizers, snacks & beverages”. Don’t ever let food allergies or dietary requirements stop you from finding pure joy in food- there is even beauty in the process of trial & error because after all it’s the journey that teaches you so many valuable lessons & brings you closer to fulfillment ❤️ #meatlessmonday #eatonhealth eatonhealth #feedfeed #thecookfeed #thenewhealthy #imsomartha #falafel #f52grams #howisummer #jerusalemcookbook #vegetarian #healthyish #healthyfoodshare #eatingwelleats #eatgoodfeelgood #goodmoodfood #goop #realsimple #foodwomenwine #cleats #bareaders #heresmyfood #allergyfriendly #yahoofood #huffposttaste
I was craving watermelon the other day so I asked the hubs to pick some up from the market. When I sliced into it, the red was missing & instead appeared this golden hued flesh! I thought something was wrong but then he replied “ I think it’s a different type of watermelon 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄”. It certainly is! This yellow watermelon has a mellow, less sweet taste with a hint of honey. Have you tried it?! On its own- it’s a bit flavorless. I had a whole watermelon to use up so I blended it with an Alphonso mango, half a banana & some ice to create this sun kissed juice. Topped with fresh mint & black lava salt from my sweet friend Kortney @allergy_girl_eats. This is so so good 👏 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #eatingwelleats #yellowwatermelon #watermelon #f52cooldown #goodmoodfood #drinks #howisummer #thenewhealthy #feelslikesummer #goop #buzzfeast #pbsfood #foodandwine #vitamix #thekitchn #livecolorfully #detox #cagrown #farmersmarketinspo #eatlocal #healthyish #imsomartha #myamazonkitchen #veganfoodshare #realsimple #realfood #eatclean
If you’re still looking for a holiday dessert to make for the 4th 🇺🇸; here’s a six ingredient sweet treat; blueberry- cardamom sauce. I posted on my stories last week but here’s the quick recipe: 💙 Take 1 pint fresh blueberries( about 2 heaping) cups & throw into a pot with 1/2 cup organic cane sugar, zest and juice from 1 lemon( about 1/2 tsp zest & 1 tablespoon juice), 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, pinch of salt & 1 teaspoon vanilla. Bring to a rolling boil, decrease heat to med- low & simmer for 8-10 minutes until blueberries pop but still saucy. Take off heat, add 1/2 tablespoon sweet aged balsamic vinegar ❤️Serve & enjoy over ice cream, pancakes etc. Makes (1) half pint jar. Top 8 free too 💙 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #f52red #howisummer #dessert #icecream #blueberries #imsomartha #inseasonnow #realsimple #goopmake #gloobyfood #tastingtable #thebakefeed #thecookfeed #todayfood #bonappetit #myamazonkitchen #ediblesf #healthyfoodshare #huffposttaste #foodandwine #f52cooldown #sunsetkitchen #wholefoodsfaves #eatingwelleats #thenewhealthy
Happy 1st of July ❤️ we are having our “normal” cold and foggy summer morning weather pattern here in Berkeley but I’m dreaming of picnics & sun🌞 soon.. and of course these strawberries 🍓 Thanks @themillycollective for all your fab styling tips on this one. Hope everyone is looking forward to a fun holiday week ahead. #asweetfeast2018 #eatonhealth #feedfeed #f52red #strawberries #farmersmarketinspo #healthysnacks #picnic #healthyfoodshare #goodmoodfood #realfood #realsimple #locavore #livecolorfully #eatlocal #howisummer #beautifulcuisines #storyofmytable #pursuepretty #ediblesf #healthyish #bonappetit #eatingwelleats #eattherainbow #thenewhealthy #strawberry #gloobyfood #saveurmag #pbsfood #thesunsetkitchen
Our oven is on the fritz( loud booming noises are not good 🤦🏽‍♀️) so I’ve had to get creative in the kitchen this week. Here, I’ve made @thepeppercook gajrela( carrot) bombs. These beautiful raw bliss bites are made with 1 cup carrots, coconut, cardamom, ginger & are top 8 free; sweetened only w/ dates. Growing up, my mom used to make a South Asian dessert called gajar( carrot) halwa & she would scoop it onto a plate of paratha( which is like a pancake fried in ghee 😆😍). I would blissfully eat it, served with a side of egg & jam, like a crepe but different... Mom has stopped making these treats long ago due to cleaning up her health but I’m sure she would approve of these healthy goodies. Thanks @thepeppercook for bringing these old memories back ❤️ You can find the recipe on Anuja’s feed. #eatonhealth #feedfeed #rawtreats #blissballs #f52grams #thenewhealthy #thecookfeed #imsomartha #plantbaseddiet #nutfree #top8free #kidapproved #momapproved #indiandessert #healthyish #healthyfoodshare #healthysnacks #goodmoodfood #realfood #tastingtable #foodgawker #whatveganseat #howisummer #facturegoods #eatingwelleats #organicmoments
