Spicy Cauliflower Swiss Chard Pesto Pasta

Posted on June 12, 2017 | 18 comments

Leafy greens are one of the hardest foods for me to consume regularly. Spinach and kale are the easy ones. I devour kale salads when I bother to make them, and I try to mix spinach into dishes like quesadillas or lasagna. I mixed chard into enchiladas before, but I was inspired by Joanne@Eats Well with Others to try a pesto! This spicy cauliflower Swiss chard pesto pasta recipe was amazing! Seriously, I surprised myself with how much I loved it, and I found a new way to enjoy more leafy greens like chard. Continue reading →

Cilantro Lime Southwest Black Bean Salad

Posted on June 9, 2017 | 16 comments

A simple salad is always a go-to meal at my house. Quality ingredients is always the key because quality can turn simple into outstanding! I make a lot of lunch salads that never make it onto the blog because I don’t take time to take pictures before work in the mornings. I made this cilantro lime southwest black bean salad for a grill out this past weekend, and it was a hit! Continue reading →

Classic Barbecue Jackfruit Sandwiches

Posted on June 1, 2017 | 4 comments

I hope you guys didn’t get your fill of BBQ over memorial day weekend because today we are having vegan barbecue! If you have been eating meatless for very long, you certainly have come across jackfruit. If not, let me explain. Jackfruit is a large fruit native to Asia that when young and under ripe has a stringy, chewy texture that is considered very close to the texture of meat. It is used commonly as a meat replacement to make vegetarian dishes. One of the most commonly made jackfruit dishes is barbecue sandwiches because it mimics pulled pork very well. Today I am sharing my recipe for Classic Barbecue Jackfruit Sandwiches! Continue reading →

Asian Cabbage Baked Egg Rolls with Tempeh

Posted on May 30, 2017 | 12 comments

I’m not really a side dish person. I love to cook. It’s a great release at the end of the day to come home and find my rhythm in the kitchen. However, I find it most enjoyable when there are fewer pieces of the puzzle to keep track of. Side dishes don’t fit that routine well, therefore I tend to make and eat a single thing every night. These Asian cabbage baked egg rolls with tempeh fit that theme perfectly. Continue reading →

Hot dogs were one of my favorite foods to eat during the summer as a kid. My mom would always have them in the house by keeping a stock of frozen dogs. I didn’t even bother to heat them up!! Boy life is different now. Good different. Vegan grilled carrot dogs different. Seriously, these carrot dogs take me back to my childhood. I can gobble up a whole plate of them! Continue reading →

Asparagus Artichoke White Pizza

Posted on May 2, 2017 | 20 comments

I first decided to put asparagus on a pizza simply because I already had some in the fridge. It was going to be a sun-dried tomato, artichoke, and asparagus pizza. As life goes, that didn’t happen. I ran out of sauce, so I ended up using my sun-dried tomatoes in my Asparagus Carbonara recipe. I hit the drawing board again and decided to try the pizza with a simple white sauce. This Asparagus Artichoke White Pizza is even better than I had imagined, and a great way to wrap up this years Asparagus Mini-Series! Continue reading →

Lentil Salad with Asparagus and Radish

Posted on April 27, 2017 | 8 comments

I really love asparagus. I think it is the seasonality of it, the fact that it grows for a short time and then it’s gone for the season. Growing up, I ate farm fresh picked asparagus and now I refuse to buy it from the store; it just doesn’t taste the same. I love asparagus so much that I created an Asparagus Mini-Series last year that I am challenging myself to continue! Today I am sharing Lentil salad with Asparagus and Radish for the first Asparagus Mini-Series of 2017! Continue reading →
