How many times have you adapted a favorite recipe to make it meatless? For vegetarians, this is a common practice. I adapted these spicy vegetarian chipotle quinoa sliders from my chipolte fish sliders recipe.
I identify as a pescatarian. In other words, a vegetarian who still eats fish. I post 90% vegetarian recipes, therefore, I attract more meatless-eaters with my recipes than fish-eaters. Continue reading
For me, veggie burgers don’t necessarily need to taste like a burger. Instead, they can be a delivery system for fun flavors. Like these Jamacian Jerk Plantain Burgers, or these Moroccan Carrot Veggie Burgers, or today’s recipe for vegetarian quinoa pizza burgers.
I think one of the best ways to get great flavor in something like a veggie burger is to load it up with different seasonings. Make it complicated for your taste buds to figure everything out, and you will likely enjoy the flavors more. Continue reading

After the photo shoot for this kimchi fried rice with peas and cabbage was finished, I started nomming like normal. Then, I realized I forgot to photograph piercing the egg (a classic sunny side up egg shot). I looked down at my bowl, and thought, 3/4 gone is actually a pretty good shot to see what it really looks like.
Did I go back to the studio and capture it? No. It was too good to stop eating! It was everything I could do to savory every bite instead of inhaling it in two seconds. Continue reading

For all of you that love asparagus as much as I do, lets try some for breakfast! I serve this asparagus mushroom potato hash with sunny side up eggs for a filling breakfast that is full of veggies.

This month’s recipe redux theme was Movie Inspiration, because the Oscars are right around the corner! Therefore, I chose to make giant green veggie burgers after one of my favorite movie characters, the hulk!
This recipe is a great way to sneak in extra veggies. Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies, but not so much for my husband. After trying these burgers, he said he never would have guessed they had broccoli in them! Continue reading

This creamy lemon dill orzo soup recipe has a surprising ingredient. When I see creamy soup recipes, I expect to see that some form of dairy makes it creamy. Milk, sour cream, cheese, or all of the above, for example.
Instead, this recipe uses eggs to achieve its velvety, creamy texture. For a long time I shied away from recipes that cook eggs by tempering them in hot liquid. It sounds scary if you’ve never done it. Continue reading

Breakfast pizza has long been a favorite food of mine. I don’t make it very much, however, because it’s usually not very healthy, and it isn’t traditionally fast. This pepper and onion naan breakfast pizza is healthier, as well as quick and easy!
Have you tried naan flat breads? I was first exposed to them as an side for curries, but they have many more uses! I used toaster size naan (mini) in this recipe, which was perfect for a single egg! Continue reading

Who else is ready for football playoffs?! For me, half the fun of football is the food and drink, so this year I plan to make these buffalo quinoa chickpea burgers, topped with blue cheese!
I don’t make regular veggie burgers. For me, vegetables don’t have the texture, or the taste that I remember in a real burger. I still love the format, but try to make it taste like something different. Continue reading

When spaghetti squash is in season in fall, I try to find new ways to use it. In the past, I have made enchilada spaghetti squash boats and pesto Parmesan spaghetti squash bowls. Continue reading
