Coconut Almond Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Gluten & Dairy-Free) by Eve Fox

Someone I work with likes to use the term "amazeballs" and it is the perfect word to describe these cookies. Each bite is rich and super flavorful - coconut-y, chocolate-y and almond-y - sorta like a Manischewitz chocolate macaroon had a baby with an…

Kale Chips Eight Ways

Kale Chips Eight Ways by Eve Fox

The ragged jack kale plants we grew from seeds from our local Hudson Valley Seed Library just keep on giving. I feel like every time I look out the kitchen window, their slender purple stems have sprouted another full set of lush, silvery green leaves and it's time to head out to the garden with a pair of scissors and the biggest bowl…

When I was pregnant with my younger son, I developed a powerful craving for pickled daikon. Something about its pungent flavor - equal parts spicy, sharp, nutty & sweet - proved irresistible to me. And even though my "baby" is now two and a half years old, I'm still going strong with this root vegetable.If I'm in a rush, I simply…
