Are you into fusion cuisine? Where you take culinary traditions from two different regions or cultures and fuse them together in one recipe? If you haven’t tried it before, you have to try these curried cauliflower and chickpea tacos with creamy cilantro sauce.
Cilantro is one of my favorite herbs. It pair perfectly with both curry flavors and tacos. I use it here to make a creamy cilantro sauce that is my favorite part of these tacos. Continue reading

When I first tried this creamy cashew wild rice soup with mushrooms, I was blown away! I could not believe that the soup I was eating was dairy free and vegan.
The blended cashews in this soup add more than creaminess, they also add nuttiness that pairs perfectly with wild rice and mushrooms. Continue reading

I am a huge fan of vegetable soups, especially when the weather turns cold. This winter, I wanted to switch things up from my classic vegetable soup, so I made a vegetable barley soup instead!
Basically, I took my classic vegetable soup recipe and merged it with my mushroom barley stew recipe (old, old recipe!). I omitted the corn from the veggie soup and let barley more than take its place. Continue reading

How often do you make sheet pan recipes? I’ll be honest, I don’t use this fast and easy cooking method as often as I should! This sheet pan tofu and broccoli recipe comes with peanut dipping sauce, and only requires one sheet pan to make!
Clean up is a breeze when it comes to sheet pan recipes. I like using parchment paper as well, making clean up even easier. Continue reading

Is everyone ready for thanksgiving yet? I have my menu planned, but none of the shopping done. This lemony brussels sprouts and cranberry slaw is definitely worth adding to your menu if you need another good vegetable side dish!
One of the best things about this slaw during the busy holidays is that it really benefits from sitting in the dressing for at least 15 minutes before serving. Continue reading

Is everyone else enjoying the fall weather? I’m still adjusting to the cold this season, and a warm bowl of soup sure does help! This vegetarian black bean soup is hearty and full of protein, perfect for cold nights.

Bowl meals come by many names, Buddah bowls, power bowls, nourish bowls, grain bowls, etc., and are just about the easiest thing to make. You just toss everything into a bowl! The ratio of ingredients is what I like best about bowl meals, including this sweet potato kale quinoa bowl.
This bowl is not a kale salad, and it is not a quinoa salad either. It is truely a bowl meal that is balanced with grains and proteins, fresh vegetables and cooked vegetables, as well as crunchy and soft textures. Continue reading

One of the things I love most about gardening is that it helps me be get creative in the kitchen. The green beans in my garden have been growing well this season, and here I add them to an addicting potato salad, caper dill potato salad.

I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone, school starts in only a few weeks! I had to share these smoked tofu summer rolls before summer is over. They are a fresh, light meal that can be easily made without heating up your kitchen!
I like to use the smoked tofu in my summer rolls because it is already cooked. You could probably use “raw” tofu straight out of the package, but the smoked tofu has better texture and it adds more flavor. Continue reading

This simply marinated tempeh can be used in all sorts of ways. I like to use it for salads, sandwiches and wraps. The marinade is made from fridge and pantry staples so it is easy to whip up when you are planning on the fly.
Cubes are best for salads, but slices are best for sandwiches. For wraps, you could go either way, but I prefer the slices. Continue reading
