I have done it again. All things gyro! This time, I made gyro tofu sliders with tzatziki slaw. The tofu was pan fried so it was nice and crispy on the outside, just the way I like it!
The first time I tried this recipe, I was using up leftovers from the fridge. I had just made my favorite gyro recipe, these tempeh gyro tacos, and I was inspired to try the marinade with some leftover tofu. Continue reading
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

Hands in the air if you love lasagna! Me too. But do you ever have leftover sheets of lasagna noodles? My box always seems to have just a few more than I really need for a recipe. I created this arugula pesto lasagna roll ups recipes to use up those extra noodles!
I made this recipe with 5 lasagna noodles, because that’s how many I had to use. It just so happens that I could not have fit more into a 9×9 inch pan as well. Feel free to increase the recipe and make more roll ups, just plan on using a bigger pan. 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

For me, radish is one of those mysterious vegetable that I don’t use often. I feel like I don’t know how to use it, so I avoid it. Well, simply put, fresh radish is easy and great in salads. I created this radish and corn wheat berry salad as a challenge to myself to turn radish from mysterious to delicious!
As a kid, I picked fresh radish from the garden with my grandfather. I ate them only because I was involved in the process of digging them up. A radish from the store? My childhood self would have said No way! Continue reading
