New kid-and-grownup-approved recipe you will want New kid-and-grownup-approved recipe you will want for these holiday times!!! 🎄✨ These no-bake, allergy-friendly *Chocolate Peppermint Holiday Bites* were gobbled down by 15+ kids and their parents at my daughters’ school playground. (I was over the moon!) They taste delicious, are protein-rich and very NUTRITIOUS, look and feel festive, and are VERY fun to make with kids (they get to hammer candy canes; adults can leave candy out of their batch if desired). Yes please! 🙋‍♀️ This Saturday at 10 am I’m teaching a kids cooking class at @greenstar_coop where we’ll prepare these *Chocolate Peppermint Holiday Bites.* 🍫🎄There are only a few spots left - register at @greenstar_coop. If you can’t make it, this recipe will be in my Thursday newsletter - link in my bio ☝️. P.S. I like to use dye-free candy canes without the artificial gunk. 😉 Happy cooking!
For all ya’ll cooking up sprouts - have you ever For all ya’ll cooking up sprouts - have you ever seen how they grow? (Also psssst: the November Meal Plan has a DEELISH recipe for Brussels Sprouts with bacon, pecans and cranberries. Link in bio ☝️) I remember growing these waaay back when I was a farmer at @millstonefarmct, and was fascinated by these giant stalks. You can store the sprouts on the stalk for up to a week outside the fridge! IMHO it’s fun to snap them off, and even though Cora says she’s never done it, she has, and most kids like doing it. You find them on the stalk at farmers markets or a CSA like @fullplatefarmcollective. Buon appetito!
Someone recently asked me in a workshop, “how do Someone recently asked me in a workshop, “how do I stop telling myself the narrative that I’m a bad cook.” I think a lot of people believe that there are “good” cooks and “bad” cooks, but really, there are cooks who have practice (or experience) and cooks who haven’t! I love how Cora models this with learning to crack an egg, mess-free! 🥹🥚🍳 I think it’s hard to practice anything if you don’t like doing it, so my question back would be, “what DO you like about food, eating, and cooking?” If we can start with something that lights us up - whether it’s shopping at a market and meeting the farmers, preparing for a special meal with friends, recreating a childhood food memory, or experimenting like a mad scientist (NOT me!) - then we’re much more likely to want to cook… And therefore practice. Curious to hear your thoughts on this! 👇
Who wants a QUICK, EASY, MESS-FREE way to prepare Who wants a QUICK, EASY, MESS-FREE way to prepare your turk mcgurk? 🦃 🙋‍♀️ Enter: dry brining 🧂🪴 Follow the video or this simple method: - dry brine 1-3 days before roasting - start with a thawed turkey - measure 2 tsp Kosher salt per lb. of turkey - mix the salt with your fave ground herbs (the more herbs, the more flavorful) - separate the skin from the meat (you may need scissors to cut the fiber connecting the skin to the meat) - rub the salt-herb mix under the skin and over all the meat you can reach (including the legs!) - rub the remaining mix over the skin - rest in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to roast I’d love to hear if you’re going to dry brine your turkey this year! 👇
Whenever my kids show an interest in cooking, I tr Whenever my kids show an interest in cooking, I try to pick ONE simple, essential cooking technique to teach them. I do this for 3️⃣ reasons: 👩‍🍳 They’re already invested in the outcome, so a it’s a good moment to capture their attention and teach them something that will help improve their results. 📚 They’ll learn to recognize this technique throughout recipes. 🧁 They’ll learn what this technique is used for (i.e. “parting and mixing together yolks with milk”) and how to apply it to recipes they make from scratch! Many cooking techniques are intuitive, but understanding the science behind them can be helpful. It’s not necessary to share everything at once though! For example, popovers actually rise from the steam generated from the liquidy batter, trapped in the gluten from the flour. But also, whisking and frothing eggs adds air to help make baked goods rise. One thing at a time! Your turn 👉 what technique do you want to learn (or if you know it, how to do better). We’d love to make a video for you and your kiddos! 🎥🔪🥒
I’ve discovered a flavor hack you need to know a I’ve discovered a flavor hack you need to know about! 🌶️🪴🧄 (This is NOT a paid ad). About a year ago my friend @maxandthebuckners made the most divine braised pork tacos, and when I asked what he added to the pot, he brought me to his wall of spices from @burlapandbarrel. Aside from the fact that the founder was his buddy, he was enamored with the actually FLAVORFUL herbs and spices. Most store-bought herbs are flavorless. Truly. Especially when you do a taste test next to fresh herbs that have been dried. (Right?!) This is typically what I do - harvest bunches of fresh rosemary, thyme, and oregano and dry it for winter use, until the next season. But I always run out… Enter: @burlapandbarrel. They intentionally and ethically source single-origin spices and package them in a way that preserves their immense, beautiful flavor. They were nice enough to send me a box of their products to try and I loved several so much that I ended up weaving them into the recipes for Meal Plans (link in profile ☝️). AND they created an Emma Frisch Collection of my six faves!!! 😍 (Link also in profile ☝️): - Purple Stripe Garlic - Limestone Rosemary - Flowering Hyssop Thyme - Pearl Salt - Royal Cinnamon - Cloud Forest Cardamom I will also say I have NEVER used powdered garlic or onion unless forced to, and these ones are a game-changer for quick, flavorful cooking. Ok I’m done blabbing. I highly recommend you head over to their website and check them out! 🔥

If you’re like me, the excess of processed sweet If you’re like me, the excess of processed sweets on Halloween sets me on edge. 😱 Instead of embracing the fun, I find myself bracing for a meltdown—not just on Halloween, but also in its wake. 😭 So I asked friend and family dietician, @familydietitian_sofie , for tips on how to reduce my candy-stress this year, and have FUN with my children while they’re slurping up the magic (and the sugar). 🧙 You can listen to her 6-minute recording or read her advice at the link in my profile 👆, or gobble up her TOP 3 TIPS here: 🍭 Avoid Restricting Portions: Allow children to choose the amount of candy they want to eat rather than imposing strict portion limits. Restricting portions can make the candy feel even more desirable, leading kids to fixate on it. Trust that they can learn to self-regulate when given the chance. It’s helpful to allow candy alongside other food to help regulate their glycemic index. ⏳ Set Boundaries in Time, Not Amount: Instead of controlling how much candy children can have, create designated times for enjoying candy. This could mean including candy as part of a snack or meal, which helps normalize it as just another part of eating (while helping with the glycemix index), rather than something off-limits or exclusively special. 👍 Avoid Labeling Food, and Stay Positive: Avoid labeling candy as “bad” or using negative language around it. Talking negatively about candy can create a forbidden allure and complicate kids’ relationships with food. Emphasize the fun of Halloween and focus on the tradition rather than the candy itself. I would love to hear your thoughts and strategies on Halloween candy below 👂. Above all, HAVE FUN!
