  • Let it be known that I’m getting through this winter via toast dinners..I also feel it’s kind of French of me, non? Just add 🍷. Seen here..white bean tomato toast with massaged lacinato kale and Ezekiel bread. Recipe below... 🍞🍅 ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ 1 can of cannellini beans or white beans (comes out to about 1.5 cooked beans if using dried) 2 cups of crushed tomatoes or your fave marinara brand 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon of dried or fresh rosemary sprigs 1/2 small lemon 1/2 cup of thinly sliced kale or spinach 1 bunch of fresh parsley chopped Good olive oil Sea salt Black pepper Crushed red pepper Sea salt flakes Ezekiel bread or your fave bread In a medium size pot, heat a generous glug of olive oil. Add sliced garlic and lower heat so they sizzle, then add rosemary. Before garlic browns too much, add marinara and strained beans. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 min. Add fresh greens and half the parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Add in lemon juice and another glug of olive oil. (This makes us creamy without cheese.) season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with remaining parsley and sea salt flakes. Toast the bread and rub each piece with half of a garlic clove. Serve with Ezekiel toast and salad.

  • As a freelance writer, I remember getting my first tiny byline in the @nytimes and feeling like my life was complete. “I can die now,” I half jokingly said to my husband. That was 8 years ago, pre babies, pre Bonberi. I remember as a very lost 20-something craving something more. Around the same time an article in the @nytimes came out about women moving from fashion to wellness and making a career out of it. I sat on my boyfriends bathroom floor the morning after a drunken fight about some girl, his roommates in the next room over filled with diner food, hungover, lost, emotionally spent from the highs and lows of insecurity, a few pounds away from my “ideal” body, longing for that life these women had conquered. I knew I had to get there, but how? How could I make my quiet yearning a reality? And even more how could I ever make it my vocation? It was a dream but I had no idea how to get there. Cut to a tiny idea with a good friend, I started to shed. Shed my old habits, shed things that didn’t serve me, and just follow what healed me. That’s it. I just kept following the healing and the things that genuinely nourished my mind, body and soul. I didn’t have a game plan, I just kept doing one thing that felt good after another. Then something happened, sharing what made me feel good started to make others feel good and the high of serving took over. It immediately took me out of the equation. It became about the work. Not me. All this time I was worrying about me and when I realized I have little to nothing to do with it, I was free. Years later, same husband literally stripping floors and walls at 3am to make a real life Bonberi to recruiting the best team in the game who passionately cook up deliciousness in the kitchen and a team who cares so much to scout the market to discover the most effective and delicious products out there, I hope we can continue to serve up more goodness for all of you guys and that this is just the beginning. Thank you @karinnelson23 for this incredible article, the whole #lovebleecker team and all the amazing businesses on the block and beyond inspiring us to keep it moving! #longliveprint #bonberibodega #grateful #lovebleecker

  • Takeout the Bonberi way 🥦🥕🥒🥬 When I want to eat clean but also don’t have the energy to cook, I just order double, triple the veg dishes and ditch the grains with emphasis on salads before and nutty nourishing squash, a gentle cleansing savior during the cold months. Ditching the grains for more root vegetables is a gentle way to keep lean with feeling like an indulgence rather than a punishment. Thank goodness for squash! Steaming denser varietals like kabocha or Japanese yam is a super clean option to roasting and since it’s their season they’re so sweet and nourishing without anything but a little tahini dill dipping sauce never hurt anyone either 😉 #vegan #plantbased #eatclean #grainfree #winterfoods #squash #souen
