Oil-Free Hummus Trio
I love hummus. I really do. But I have a little food ADD and I get distracted really easily. I have to force myself to finish a tub of anything in my fridge, eat all my leftovers, and not let food go bad. Even if I love whatever it is I have to use up, […]

Caramelized Onion & Roasted Garlic Veggie Pizza
Here’s a dinner I made last week that I was supposed to post much earlier this week! It was a wonderful pizza that I think I’ll have to remake ASAP . . . There are a few frozen cheese-less veggie pizzas out there that have this incredibly amazing sauce instead of marinara. If you’ve had […]

I wanted to make a healthy vegan version, but the thought of losing the amazing flaky crust for something less guilt-inducing was just devastating. So I settled for a super healthy filling and a nice big splurge on top. I […]

Roasted Everything Tomato Soup
Did you know that it’s national caramel day? Here’s how I celebrated: Despite the promising beautiful morning, the weather decided to be gloomy well into lunchtime, so roasted tomato soup was absolutely necessary! This is a kind of soup that’s fantastic any time of the year – roasting the tomatoes will bring out their flavor […]

Crispy Baked Samosas w/ Cilantro Raita
Yes! Samosas that are just as crispy and flavorful as the deep-fried buttery pastry you get at a restaurant. Except without the butter, oil, or self-loathing once you’ve devoured one. The secret: filo dough! A brilliant Cooking Light solution.

Fuchsia Beet Juice
I usually call all of my veggie juices “green juice,” no matter what their color is. But just look at this! It had to be re-named. And there’s nothing to it!
