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

Whenever I enjoy a sandwich, I want it to be over-the-top. So full of flavor and texture that you’ll beleive its the best food in the world. These mushroom and pickled onion sandwiches are rather simple, yet loaded with both texture and flavor.
Lets start by discussing the texture. The silky cheese coats the mushroom pieces helping to hold them together, pickled onions add brightness, and the lettuce and toasted bread add crunch. Continue reading

Red lentil dal is a popular Indian dish where red lentils are stewed in aromatics and spices until super flavorful. It is fast, inexpensive and easy so it’s no wonder why it is popular. Today, I want to share my twist on this class, red lentil dal spinach bowls!
To get started, lets discuss red lentils. Red lentils are the fastest cooking lentil, have a sweeter and milder flavor, and tend to get kind-of mushy when cooked. Kinda. Continue reading

I had 2 sweet potato plants in my garden this summer and I finally harvested them yesterday. It’s sad to see the garden finally be done for the season, but it is exciting to have a great sweet potato harvest this year to use in my sweet potato black bean tostadas!
I absolutely adore sweet potatoes in spicy dishes. The sweet and the heat are made for each other! In this dish I use red pepper flake to add plenty of kick. Continue reading
