These are just what they sound like: unfussy, un-fancy sweet potato black bean burgers.What makes them sort of remarkable is the fact that this is the first sweet potato black bean burger I've ever made! It's difficult to wrap my mind around, since the sweet potato + black bean combination is a regular favorite in my recipes: I've featured it in bowls, enchiladas, salads, and more.Since making these sliders, I've been on a somewhat uncharacteristic homemade ...

Weekend Reading, 8.11.19

[heart_this] August 11, 2019 Nutrition and Wellness

In the last few days, New York has transitioned from hot, muggy weather to a cool, dry, and breezy climate that hints at September and October to come. Everywhere I go, people are talking about it. I think we all feel grateful for the tiny glimpse of fall, even if no one is ready for the hustle of back-to-school season.So much of life, at least here in the Northeast, revolves around the rhythms and patterns of the seasons. They organize our experiences ...

NEDA Week 2019: Sharing Food While Tuning In

As this week approached, I asked folks on Instagram what recovery topics they’d like to hear about. One of the questions I got was how to eat around others. The question didn’t specify a stage of recovery, but I think it’s an important conversation for any stage! At the start of recovery, learning to eat…

NEDA Week 2019: Having My Own Thing

There’s always an official NEDA week theme, but most of the time the posts I write for this week end up finding a theme of their own. The National Eating Disorder Association’s theme for 2019 is “Come as You Are,” which emphasizes diversity and inclusivity in our community of those living with EDs, those recovering…

NEDA Week 2019: Come as You Are

Happy Monday, friends! As you probably noticed, I took a pause from weekend reading this week in order to reflect on National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Each year, I use this week as an opportunity to reflect on my own recovery and to celebrate recovery with all of you. This year’s NEDA week theme is…
