The husband and I both have summer birthdays, one month apart, which means there have been lots of treats and indulgent meals lately. When we’re not in celebration mode, we’ve been opting for healthier fare to help balance things out, and these falafel and hummus bowls have quickly become a new favorite! ...

Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus
The lead-up to Halloween has always been one of my favorite times of year. As a kid, I would spend hours sketching various possible designs for my Jack-o’-lantern, my mom would help brainstorm and create my costume, and my friends and I would swap tips on the best trick-or-treating routes. As I’ve gotten older, my love for Halloween remains, but mostly in a nostalgic sort of way, since my actual ...
Mexican-Inspired Hummus Bowls
Earlier this summer, I came up with a recipe to imitate Trader Joe’s cowboy caviar, and I’ve made it three additional times since then. The only downside to making it at home is that it doesn’t keep as long as the store-bought version—and I suppose that’s the natural tradeoff when there are fewer preservatives involved.

In order to prevent food burn-out—like my major aversion to turkey sandwiches, which I mentioned the other week—it’s important to ...

Think of this more as an idea suggestion than a recipe, one that will help you switch up your lunch routine! ...
Chipotle and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Once while I was waiting in line at the grocery store, a lady behind me commented on the hummus I had in my basket. She said it was her favorite type of hummus but warned me about its addictive properties (and about how she regularly downed an entire package in one sitting) and asked if I’d tried it before. I had, and I mentioned that I like to eat it with vegetables, especially carrot sticks, ...
Milkless Monday: Hummus Salad
The summer after I graduated from college, I moved across the country and in preparation for the program I was about to start, I enrolled in an intensive language program—a year’s worth of material crammed into six short weeks (though at the time, it felt like an excruciatingly long six weeks). ...
