Pretty much our ONLY option for vegan breakfasts now are: A. Being productive on the weekends and cooking for ourselves B. Being lazy and hungover and going to The Red Lentil instead Jim will still eat eggs and cheese for the most part, but the strict vegan options for me at The Lentil are generally anything […]
Asparagus & Broccolini Pasta Salad with Honey Dijon Sauce
80 degree weather in Boston. In MARCH. This unseasonable miracle has brought my favoritest spring and summer veggies out of their winter hibernation extra early-which makes me extra happy. $4 for a bunch of organic asparagus at Whole Foods (rare in colder months, and if it exists it’s usually $6 or $7) and broccolini, also at a ridiculously low […]

I had lots of lettuce and spinach […]
