This smoked tofu vegan BLT is on regular rotation at my house! It is one of my favorite ways to use my smoked tofu recipe; I think we have it every time I pull out the smoker!
This dish is hardly a recipe because a quality smoked tofu is all you need to make vegan bacon. Just thin slice it and pan fry in some oil. Your house will smell heavenly! Continue reading

Friends, today I am very excited to share a new product with you that I have been in love with. Fired Up Jellies and Jams is a popular local brand that makes amazing jellies/jams with habanero peppers. I used their peach version to make these ginger peach habanero shrimp kabobs.
The Cinnful Peach Habanero Jam is made with a vietnamese cinnamon that is quite different from the kind you might put into your favorite baked goods. Peaches and ginger are a match made in heaven, and the spicy cinnamon compliments them both. Continue reading
Rhubarb is one of my favorite seasonal items to experiment with. Most commonly rhubarb is used in sweet recipes, but without too much poking around you will see that sweet recipes are not my thing. I prefer to use it in more savory applications, like this homemade rhubarb barbecue sauce recipe.
Rhubarb is out of season here, but I was able to get some while it was in season, and luckily it freezes very well. If you can’t find fresh rhubarb any more this season, look for it frozen, it will be just as good. Continue reading
Friends, it has been a very busy summer for me, and I hope you all have a summer full of great recipes so far. This recipe, Greek chickpea salad, is one that I have been eating a lot this summer.
This salad is very easy to make. It requires a little bit of time to chop all the vegetables, but it is totally worth it. The flavor of all the vegetables go together perfectly, and the dressing is the icing on the cake! Continue reading

During summer, zucchini is a staple! It is such a healthy and versatile vegetable that is also easy to grow in our summer gardens. Sometimes, I end up with waaaaayyyyyy too many zucchini, and these are all the recipes that I have used over the years to use up zucchini!
All of the following recipes are vegetarian as that is how I eat most of the time. Feel free to make the recipes your own by substituting your favorite proteins, or making vegan and dairy free swaps! Continue reading
Friends, it has been a busy summer, but I have not forgotten about you and your recipe needs! This roasted cauliflower and spinach pasta recipe is a simple one that I whipped up out of leftover ingredients in the fridge but I loved it so much that I though you all needed to have it here.
I wrote this recipe as a single serving because that is how I made it. It could easily be doubled or quadrupled to serve your whole family or to take to a cookout. Continue reading

This coconut turmeric noodle bowl with tofu and veggies was inspired by golden milk, a creamy drink or tea made with a base of plant-based milk and turmeric. I used the golden milk in place of broth to make a creamy noodle bowl that can be eaten hot or cold.
This isn’t a soup recipe because the ingredients are prepared individually, not together in one pot. It resembles a buddah bowl more than it does soup. Continue reading

Dinner at my house tonight is going to be grilled shrimp with creamy cocktail sauce! The creamy cocktail sauce is a condiment from the UK also known as Marie Rose sauce.
I discovered this sauce/dip once when I was serving cold cocktail shrimp and totally overlooked the idea something to dip them in. I went searching the internet for a simple dip that I could whip up from pantry ingredients and I have been making this sauce ever since! Continue reading

The ingredients are simple and there are many swaps that can be made with success, even for a novice cook like myself when I was young. It is also full of flavor making it an easy favorite to have again and again, which I did! Continue reading

Friends, can you beleive that this is the first time I have tried roasting asparagus?!? Me either. Grilling it is usually my go-to method. One night when it was raining, I decided against grilling so I tried this roasted asparagus with creamy dill sauce.
If you are an asparagus fan like me, you will come back to this recipe time and time again. I have made it three times already this season and cannot get enough! Continue reading
