I first started roasting cabbage a long time ago and for some reason I got away from it. This spring, I have been trying many variations of this recipe and this roasted red cabbage with garlic vinaigrette is by far my favorite.
This recipe can be made with red cabbage, green cabbage, or both. The red cabbage has better flavor, in my opinion, and its dark color helps to keep the cabbage from looking burnt when it is nicely caramilzed and crispy. Continue reading

Lentils are seriously my favorite plant-based protein. So versatile and inexpensive to boot! Lentil soup is a classic way to prepare them, and I have yet to decide what my favorite lentil soup recipe is. Maybe it’s because there are so many ways to make it, like this spicy lentil soup with coconut milk.
I made this soup spicy in three different ways. First, I used red pepper flake early in the cooking process, so it had time to release its spicy flavors into the dish. Continue reading

At the end of gardening season, I was gifted a huge box of green tomatoes. I love finding ways to use unsual ingredients, so I set to work making both new and old green tomato recipes. This vegetarian green tomato chili is going to become a fall staple at my house, I loved it that much!
If you are not a gardener, the best place to look for green tomatoes is the farmers market. Yes, the grocery store has them, but they tend to charge more for them as a specialty item. Continue reading

This homemade red wine vinaigrette is my go-to dressing for salads. It only requires 5 ingredients, so it is really easy to keep everything you need on hand.
I prefer my vinaigrettes to be very strong, and I wrote the recipe how I make it. Traditionally, more olive oil is used which will reduce the vinegar-y-ness of the dressing. Make it how you like it. Continue reading

Before I was born, my parents had a neighbor from Mexico that taught my mom a few traditional recipes that we enjoyed all throughout my childhood. This tomato braised tofu recipe with cilantro lime rice is adapted from one that we simply called “Mexican Pork” where the pork is braised in a tomato sauce that is infused with traditional spices and aromatics. Continue reading

That time of the year where life starts to get crazy busy is here again. It’s back to school time, and for me that means meal prep! One of my favorite ways to meal prep is to grill some extra veggies to use in other meals, like this grilled portabella and lentil spaghetti recipe.
Do you practice meal prep? I highly recommend it as it is a time saver in the long run. I like to meal prep all sorts of things, like grilling vegetables for this recipe, or cooking a big batch of grains or making work lunches for the week. Continue reading

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

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
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
