One of the vegetables that I always have in my fridge is red cabbage. It can add crunch and color to almost any dish, even as a simple side like this feta and herb coleslaw.
The sauce is blended up in the food processor, and you simply mix it with sliced cabbage. This is a seriously easy side that takes almost no time or effort. Continue reading

This one skillet meal screams summer with all its fresh ingredients! My favorite part of this mediterranean chickpea zucchini skillet? The wine sauce! It ties the whole dish together.
Ok, so no duh, I love the wine sauce. I do love wine. It’a also an important component because it keeps the skillet moist. Mine completely absorbed (so it wasn’t very saucy) but the flavor it added was SO good! Continue reading

I ate these lemon dill zucchini fritters with yogurt sauce for dinner last week. It was one of those nights that I just didn’t want to make anything else. But that’s how I roll.
I’m an entree girl, very seldom do I make a main and side dish. That’s why all my veggie burger recipes make 4, because I eat 2 for dinner! Also, egg rolls. I eat them as an entree as well. It’s tasty. Why not? Continue reading

This summer, time has not been on my side. I always seem to have less than I need (or want) to get things done. I have been eating these easy hummus and pickled pepper wraps for lunches because I can literally make them in 2 minutes.
So, a little news for you all. I have taken a new job! I don’t talk much about my “real” work here because that’s not what this space is about. The prep for the upcoming semester has kept me from this space, and I apologize for that. Continue reading

A few months ago, I developed an easy homemade mole sauce recipe. Most of the time I think of meat based dishes when I think of mole sauce. Therefore, I have been playing with the sauce finding good vegetarian uses, like these mole black bean tostadas with slaw!
If you missed it, the first mole sauce recipe I posted was the mole jackfruit street tacos. This recipe is moist and delicious, but I thought it was lacking protein. Therefore, I started working with mole and black beans. 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

Calling all avocado fans!! If you’re like me, you buy avocados in the bag to the get the best deal. This also means, that you have a lot of avocado to use. This cilantro avocado pesto pasta recipe is so good, I ate it everyday last week to use up my bag of buttery avocado fruits!
In addition to avocados, I have totally fallen in love with chickpea pasta. You could use any pasta in this recipe, but using chickpea pasta gives you a boost of protein, as well as fiber. Two essentials that you need in your diet, that usually wouldn’t be high in a basic pasta dish. Continue reading

Happy May everyone! Spring is such a great time of year, for so many reasons. Warming weather, green grass and flower, and asparagus! My husband said I should have called these spring tacos, but I thought lentil tacos with asparagus pico de gallo was more descriptive.
These tacos are bright and full of fresh flavors thanks to the grassy asparagus, fresh cilantro and lime juice, as well as the tomatoes. Continue reading
