I have been wanting to try making seed crackers for a very long time, and I finally did! These crackers are crispy and toasty, loaded with good for you seeds, and seasoned just enough to make them interesting.
There are two binder options written into this recipe: the chia seeds or the whole psyllium husks. The binder holds together all the seeds to that the produce a cracker. So what are the differences between the two? Continue reading

One day I was looking for a fast lunch to whip up out of the fridge and I ended up making this Italian chickpea salad. I have made this salad over and over again because it is not only healthy, but incredibly easy as well.
This salad is based on the classic Italian chopped salad, but made vegan and with chickpeas instead of lettuce. It relies on a lot of jarred or canned ingredients that are easy to keep on hand in the pantry for when you need that fast lunch. Continue reading

Fresh bread is the absolute best. I make bread as often as I can, something like every other weekend. I love these 60 minute 50/50 whole wheat dinner rolls because they are fast and easy to make with deliciously soft and fluffy interiors, perfect for when you have a craving for fresh bread.
Lets answer a few questions about the recipe next, including why 50/50 whole wheat? And why 60 minutes? Continue reading
These dill cauliflower fritters with lemon yogurt sauce are the perfect light meal for me. Cauliflower keeps things light and a lemon-spiked Greek yogurt sauce adds a little protein boost to keep you full.
I started making these fritters because I always seemed to have a half head of cauliflower in the fridge that needed to be used. You know, the kind that is starting to get those ugly brown spots that no one wants to eat even though it doesn’t taste different. Continue reading

This recipe for mushroom dill ravioli was born from a mistake. I put mushroom dill ravioli on my menu plan, but didn’t double check the ingredients list before I went grocery shopping.
The original recipe called for mushroom-filled ravioli, which would have been tossed in a garlic dill sauce much like this one. My mistake was to buy cheese ravioli and fresh mushrooms, and it was a delicious mistake indeed. Continue reading

This honey harissa sheet pan tofu has made it into our regular rotation of dinners for a lot of reasons. The texture of the tofu is amazing, the whole thing is super easy, and you can make simple swaps for what you have on hand.
Have you tried ripping tofu by hand? It creates lots of edges that all get crispy when baked with starch and yields some of the crispiest tofu. On top of that, it is kind-of fun and easy just getting into the tofu block with your hands. Good for stress relief, or a good option for kids to help out in the kitchen. Continue reading

I was first drawn to make sweet potato brownies because I am still trying to use up my sweet potatoes from last fall’s harvest. Honestly, I cannot think of a better way to enjoy my plethora of sweet potatoes than fudgy brownies.
This recipe was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest that did not link back to a working site, so all I had to work from was the ingredients list and the comments (other recipes I found did not have great reviews). Continue reading

I grow okra in my garden every year just because it grows well where I live. It’s not my favorite vegetable, but I have found a handful of ways that I love eating it, and this charred okra and corn salad is one of them.
What makes this salad so great? First of all, the char on the okra helps to give them a little crunchy texture, and a big boost of smoky flavor. Continue reading
This caramelized onion tart with goat cheese is no ordinary appetizer. It has everything going for it. Let me explain why the strawberry vanilla rhubarb jelly is the special ingredient that takes it over the top.
Strawberry and rhubarb are a classic combination of sweet and tart that just work. This jelly adds vanilla, which amplifies the sweetness of the strawberry and add a “strawberries and cream” kind-of vibe to the jelly. Continue reading
