I’ve been thinking a lot about clutter and white space lately (physical, mental, and time-based) and what’s really necessary in our lives. Sometimes it feels like a fight against mainstream culture not to buy into consumerism, ultra-connectedness, keeping up with the Joneses. I remember as a teenager, working at Crate & Barrel, brides registering...

Banana Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF, vegan)
Confession: I bought a beautiful bunch of yellow bananas, secretly hoping they’d go brown.

When the brown spots outnumber the yellow you...

Recipe: Whoopie Chais (or Chai Whoopie Pies)
When I was making tandoori-style chicken sandwiches the other night, I kept thinking it would be nice to have some chai cookies to go along with it. I had just been over to Rebecca Johnson’s house for a tea party—a chai tea party, because she is the founder of Chaibecca, a boutique chai company...
