Radish season has come and gone in my spring garden. While I had fresh radishes, I made these teriyaki tempeh tacos with radish carrot slaw so many times. Find some radishes to try them out for yourself!
Radish is one of those ingredients that I never quite know what to do with. Sure you can slice them and add them to salads, but there are only so many of those salads I can eat before they get boring. Continue reading
I grow arugula in my garden every year. It is such an easy plant to grow, it sprouts early, loves the colder months, and grows faster than any lettuce I have grown. This also produces my favorite problem, I end up with lots of arugula to find interesting new ways to use. Therefore, today I am sharing my creamy pesto arugula and tomato wraps.
The creamy pesto sauce idea was developed by one of those lightbulb-moments. I wanted to add protein to the wrap, but didn’t want roll-y chickpeas all over the place making the wrap difficult to eat. I opted for white beans instead of chickpeas, and decided to puree them into a flavorful spread, like hummus, but different. Continue reading

I have long read about savory oats, but it took me a long time to try them. I was going through all the grains stashed in the back of the pantry, deciding what needed to be used first. The steel cut oats were on the top of the list, and thus I made savory fajita steel cut oats!
The steel cut oats have a creamy texture in comparison to making a grain bowl with rice or quinoa. Think of it like a polenta bowl instead, but made with wholesome oats. Continue reading

Have you dreamed about a lasagna that took only one dish to make, and could be finished in 30 minutes or less? What if it also used up those leftover noodles, especially the broken ones? I think you have been dreaming about this broken lasagna noodle and mushroom skillet recipe.
When I was developing this recipe, I was using up a box of lasagna noodles with only three left. Not enough for lasagna, or lasagna roll-ups honestly. Continue reading

When I first stared to eat more plant-based meals, I can across a recipe (now long lost) that marindaded and fried chickpeas. It is such a simple process that completely transforms the humble chickpea. Here I use a gyro inspired marinade to make fried chickpea gyro salad.
I have posted a very similar recipe before, my fried chickpea gyro bowls, made with a base of rice, chopped vegetables, and tzatziki sauce. While I love grain bowls, I was craving a salad this time, so I adapted the recipe. Continue reading

Calling all trout fishermen and fisherwomen! I have taken the classic tuna melt, and transformed it into a trout fishermans dreams, smoked trout melts. It is ultra creamy, while still slightly smokey and sweet, and it’s ready for dinner in only 15 minutes!
I love to spend a whole day pulling out the smoker and loading it with trout and my homemade smoked tofu recipe, along with whatever else suits my fancy. Smoked trout is a true delicacy, and I always make enough for plenty of leftovers! Continue reading
I have a few curry recipes here on the blog, and in none of them do I use curry powder. I always use my own blend of spices and seasonings. One day I had an aha moment, I should mix up a batch of homemade curry powder for meal prep to simplify the process.
Curry is a term used to describe the gravy or sauce found in traditional Indian cuisine. There are so many variations on flavors found in curry, and therefore curry powders can vary quite a lot, so I like to make my own. Continue reading
I first started roasting cabbage a long time ago and for some reason I got away from it. This spring, I have been trying many variations of this recipe and this roasted red cabbage with garlic vinaigrette is by far my favorite.
This recipe can be made with red cabbage, green cabbage, or both. The red cabbage has better flavor, in my opinion, and its dark color helps to keep the cabbage from looking burnt when it is nicely caramilzed and crispy. Continue reading

Lentils are seriously my favorite plant-based protein. So versatile and inexpensive to boot! Lentil soup is a classic way to prepare them, and I have yet to decide what my favorite lentil soup recipe is. Maybe it’s because there are so many ways to make it, like this spicy lentil soup with coconut milk.
I made this soup spicy in three different ways. First, I used red pepper flake early in the cooking process, so it had time to release its spicy flavors into the dish. Continue reading
