Introducing Gold&Thyme’s LE BALM | Pt. 1 {Infused Oil} I was fortunate enough to spend two months in California this summer and one of things I’m most excited about sharing is my first skincare product – Gold&Thyme’s Le Balm! And it was such an amazing experience, that I’ve decided to divide this experience into 3 […]
HOT PINK BEETROOT HUMMUS + SUMAC-DUSTED PITA CHIPS With the weather changing and turning into real Summer, I’m craving more vibrant foods and thus have been trying to add more color to my dishes. And as hummus is one of my favorite foods, I decided to start playing around with different recipes. Pea Hummus, Lentil […]
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 […]
Banana Bread {Vegan} My mom was in town last week from California. It had been 49 years since her last trip to Paris and it was great to show her the neighborhood and all of our favorite places in the City of Lights. Although we made our rounds and ate at some of our favorite […]
Raw “Bulk” Snack Bars {V, GF, RSF} This weekend was glorious.

Cauliflower & Tomato Quinoa Salad While spending some much needed downtime in Burgundy over the holidays, I managed to bring some staples from Paris to cook with the delicious produce we were able to find in the small villages close to Chiddes. A more plant-based diet means that when traveling, getting my hands on quinoa […]
ZUPPA DI RIBOLLITA | A Tuscan Stew {V} Fall and winter are perfect seasons for hearty stew and a perfect time to try to make Zuppa di Ribollita, a Tuscan Stew. Literally meaning re-boiled, this is a great dish to make all year long and it can also be easily re-heated and taken for lunch. […]
MAPLE & LEMON PEAR COMPOTE | V, GF, RSF Almost every year, in an effort to begin the new year in as “zen” a state as possible, Marc and I often rent a house in the middle of the countryside. This year, we chose Burgundy, an area which neither of us had ever visited. From […]

Here in Paris it dropped 10 degrees overnight and the rains have come 🙁 And when the weather changes, we also run the risk of getting sick more easily. Here’s one of my favorites during the cold fall and winter months: the Classic Hot […]
