A simple wrap is just about the easiest dinner that you could possible make, and that’s only one of the reasons that I love making them for dinner. They can also be made an endless variety of ways, like these crunchy buffalo tempeh wraps!
This is not my first wrap on the blog with tempeh. (Check out this Korean BBQ Wrap recipe.) Tempeh is a great plant-based protein source that takes well to many flavors, adding to the variations on wraps that you can make! Continue reading

One of the most popular dishes on the blog is my goat cheese baked artichoke hearts recipe. I decieded to turn this side dish into a meal with pasta! I made this goat cheese artichoke pasta with asparagus fresh from my garden!
Spring is the perfect time of year to be reaching for jarred or frozen veggies, becasue there is not much in season. Enter artichokes hearts. I recommend getting the jars packed in water. Frozen can get dry when cooked, and brined can over do-it on the salt! Continue reading

Many of us across the nation are on work-from-home or shelter-in-place orders due to covid-19. Many of the shelves in the grocery stores are bare, so I have decided to see what I can make from my pantry at home and came up with these vegan red lentil potato fritters!
The best part about these fritters? They are a meal in themselves. The red lentils add protein and the potato adds carbs. I litterally didn’t make anything to go with these because they don’t necessarily need it. Continue reading

Gnocchi are soft, fluffy, little pillows of Italian pasta that are surprisingly easy to make. They come in multiple varieties, including potato gnocchi and ricotta gnocchi. Ricotta gnocchi come together much faster than their potato counterpart. This whole wheat ricotta gnocchi with rustic tomato sauce is so easy that anyone can do it!
I try to eat whole foods whenever possilbe. I wanted to have light and pillowy gnocchi, so I tried whole wheat pastry flour and it was a huge success. You would never notice that these were whole wheat. Continue reading

Todays recipe is a little more indulgent than it is healthy. I made vegetarian baked potato soup out of some leftover baked potatoes, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.
I say that this recipe is more indulgent because it is heavy on the dairy and saturated fats. There are some recipes that just don’t work well when you try to lighten them up, and that’s ok. Reserve them for special occasions, not your weekly rotation. Continue reading

I started experimenting with kimchi as an ingredient long ago. So far, my favorite way to eat it is in fried rice. This vegan kimchi fried rice with edamame is a colorful dish that is super easy to make!
I previously posted a kimchi fried rice recipe that had a sunny side up egg on top. This vegan version is just as good, and is a bit more colorful thanks to the red cabbage. Continue reading

October is finally here, and the garden is starting to wind down. It’s that time of year when I have more cherry tomatoes than I know what to do with! This year I experimented with this cherry tomato pasta puttanesca.
Puttanesca is known as the poor man meal in early Italy. It has simple ingredients that bring in big flavors. Canned tomatoes are more traditional, but I gave this simple Italian dish a fresh spin by using garden fresh cherry tomatoes. Continue reading
