Burritos are one of my go-to fast and easy dishes for busy weeknights. I rarely make fajitas at home, and tend to save them for eating out because of all the fresh veggies and chopping involved. Continue reading

Cabbage is one of my favorite veggies I keep in the fridge for fast easy meals. This week, I am sharing a Chinese green cabbage noodle stir fry recipe.
Red cabbage is my go-to cabbage variety. Green cabbage has a little less flavor, and of course, less color. Sometimes, I find green cabbage harder to use because of what it is missing in comparison to red. Continue reading

During football season, I am always challenged to come up with indulgent, cheesy finger foods that have a healthy twist. I find that trying to make a snack healthy by reducing fat or other indulgent flavors usually makes it less exciting. Instead I focus on adding something to the dish to make it more nutritious. I use creamy butternut squash in this queso dip to add body and color, and mix in spicy chipotles and melty cheese to make it fun! Try my chipotle butternut squash queso for your next game day!

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

Last week I was poking around on my pinterest account finding and sharing ideas for recipes. I came across a recipe for crunchy green bean fries that were coated in panko bread crumbs. In the past, I have tried something similar with asparagus, and it’s not so easy. Panko does not stick well to skinny vegetables, but it sticks very well to your fingers! When I picked up my CSA this week and saw that I had string beans to use, I just knew I had to try and make a fantastic fries recipe! The seasoning is just right on these beer battered string bean fries! Continue reading

Right now I have a large bowl of zucchini, summer squash, eggplant, and cucumber sitting in my kitchen. It’s a true sign of summer. Ample fresh produce requires me to be on my toes with recipe ideas, so that none of it will go to waste. The best recipe will use multiple pieces of produce, two birds one stone kind-of thing. This Zucchini Burgers with Quick Pickles recipe was delicious, simple and the burgers freeze well so you can make extra for later! Continue reading

It’s time for Po’Boys my friends! The Po’Boy is a Louisiana style sub sandwich that can be as creative as you are. Po’boys got there name from a restaurant in New Orleans during a local factory strike. The restaurant served free sandwiches to the “poor boys” that were on strike. My shrimp po’ boys with zingy slaw is a traditional take on the sandwich, having fried seafood and dressed with coleslaw! Continue reading

When the weather starts to get cold, a hot breakfast is a great way to start the day. I almost always have the ingredients on hand to make french toast, which makes it so easy to whip up. A friend just gave me a bag full of fall apples from a local orchard and this recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy them!
