Presenting the Summer cover of “Naturally, Danny Seo”! It will be out on newsstands and Apple News first week of June and….if I do say so myself….it’s a winner. First, our cover star Briana Warner is shaking things up by growing nutrient dense kelp in Maine and we venture North to learn what all the buzz is about. Inside, we head to cool Key West; report on what’s trending from the Natural Products Expo; cook up treats using fiber rich Medjool dates; visit a cool “vegan home”; tons of nourishing recipes; visit artist Ronni Nicole in Bucks County; learn smart tips for better sleep; and we sit down with Jessica Seinfeld and how she even convinced vegan-skeptic Jerry to try plant based. And more!! Cover photo by David Engelhardt.
I’m making this tonight. From the Naturally, Danny Seo magazine archives. Summer Pasta Linguine with Poppy Seeds, Zucchini Ribbons & Pansies in Lemon Almond Alfredo
Yield: 2 servings
LEMON ALMOND ‘ALFREDO’
(Yield: 1 cup)
1 yellow pepper, deribbed, seeded, and diced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1⁄4 cup lemon juice
1⁄3 cup almond butter
1⁄4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Add diced yellow pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond butter, nutritional yeast, pepper, salt, and lemon extract to a high-speed blender.
Process on high speed until smooth, and set aside. Note: mixture will taste concentrated and slightly salty before tossed with pasta.
SUMMER PASTA LINGUINE
1⁄2 pound whole wheat linguine
2 zucchinis, cut into ribbons with peeler
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 pinch red chili flakes
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
12 pansies, or edible flower of choice
Bring a medium pot filled halfway with water to a rolling boil.
Add the linguine and cook for 6 minutes or until tender, taking care not to overcook.
Carefully drain pasta and toss with zucchini ribbons, salt, chili flakes, and lemon almond ‘Alfredo’. If desired, mixture can be thinned slightly with small amount of pasta water.
Plate pasta and garnish with poppy seeds and edible flowers. Serve warm.

Just thinking of this upcycling hack from an old book of mine (“Upcycling Celebrations”) that went viral. Collect real wine corks (no plastic!) and fill a glass jar with them. Then pour in rubbing alcohol and cover. Grab an alcohol soaked cork and just light it whenever you need a slow, even fire starter to start your bbq, fire pit, etc. that’s it! 🔥 🔥 🔥
I love this upcycling idea from the magazine: just till silicone candy molds with broken crayons and melt at a low temp in the oven. Swirl. Chill. Pop out new crazy one. These are gemstone molds so you get gemstone crayons!
During the start of Covid, I thought, “why not?” and acquired the wildly popular home design site @ruemagazine to include in our portfolio of brands. But I also gained a biz partner and friend who is my co-principal and Rue’s Editorial Director @kellilamb_ too. Last night, we celebrated the launch of our first book #homewithrue (out end of the month!) in Los Angeles on the rooftop of the Proper Hotel with @design_camp_co What a moment to see our Rue baby grow up and celebrate Kelli’s first (and not last) book! A big thank you to @emtek_products for sponsoring last night’s party and to all our friends who have been with us on this journey.
A juicy timeline cleanser for ya. Just gorgeous citrus shot by photographer @rikkisnyder for the pages of my magazine. New Summer issue is going to print this week!
