Meadowsweet Mint Spring Tea + Self-Care Morning Ritual
Meadowsweet Mint Spring Tea + Self-Care Morning Ritual Last weekend, I was invited to visit my friend Gaelle in Aulnay-La-Rivière, about an hour and a half south of Paris. I took the train, and what should have been a direct, turned into a 2 1/2 hour train + bus ride. Ah Parisian public transportation! Gaelle greeted me at the Gare and drove the 15 or…

Rose Petal & Pistachio Granola
Rose Petal & Pistachio Granola {Vegan & RSF} Some time has passed since I've been able to post any new recipes as I spent the better part of last year shooting various film and video projects in Paris, NY and California. I find it's always a question of trying to find the right balance. Having said that, although I wasn't able to spend as much…

Za’atar Spice
ZA'ATAR SPICE One thing I love about living in Paris are the spice shops. There are many - some great, some good and some not so good. But, every time I walk into a shop, Marc says " ahhhh... your space mountain!" and I proceed to stay much longer than expected ;) I can't deny it- I do love spice markets. The beautiful aromas, the…

Spiced Rosemary Sea Salt Brownies {Vegan}
Spiced Rosemary Sea Salt Brownies {Vegan} Last week, in part to celebrate my birthday, Marc suggested a last-minute trip to the country - L'Allier, to be more precise. Growing up, Marc spent much of his summers visiting his grandmother who lived in L'Allier, which is about 3 1/2 hours south of Paris. He arrived home by 5pm on Thursday and by 8pm, we had already…

Raw “Bulk” Snack Bars
Raw "Bulk" Snack Bars {V, GF, RSF} This weekend was glorious. The weather was amazing and we spent Saturday walking around the city and Sunday in the forest of Fontainebleau with Marc's brother, Pierre, and our two nieces, Lison and Sasha. I continually found myself looking up to the trees...there was even a bit of wind, which made the trees dance! It was beautiful to…

Raspberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies {Vegan}
Raspberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies {Vegan} A rainy Sunday in Paris = a trip to the bookstore, a visit to the rue de Bretagne brocante (one of my favorites of the year) and a stop off at Le Marché des Enfants Rouge for some fresh thyme and beautiful lemons. With Marc at work and the house to myself, I got a bee in my bonnet to…

Raspberry Peach Chia Seed Jam
RASPBERRY PEACH CHIA SEED JAM | V, GF, RSF Summer time is my favorite season because of all of the amazing summer fruits, including berries. And when raspberries are at their ripest (June-July), one of my go-to recipes is Raspberry Peach Chia Seed Jam. The best part about this jam, and jams in general, is that you don't need to add a lot of additional…

Healthy Banana Flaxseed Pancakes {Vegan}
BANANA FLAXSEED PANCAKES {Vegan} Waking up in Paris is always a surprise, especially in the Springtime. This particular Saturday morning, we woke up to gray skies...but no matter where you are in the world, if there are no kids in the picture, this means grasse matinée, or a lazy morning. I woke up inspired to cook and take photographa and in an attempt to use…

Homemade Hummus {Vegan}
HOMEMADE HUMMUS {Vegan} I've always loved hummus, or houmous, which is an Arabic word meaning chickpea. Since I've begun eating a plant-based diet, I find that I eat this Superfood Dip almost everyday. So I decided to get back to basics - mashed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic and make Homemade Hummus, which is always better than anything that can be…
