Couscous Cakes
No, I don’t mean a couscous dessert. But sometimes a pile of rice or couscous for a side dish can be boring – forming couscous into cute little patties and crisping them up is a much more fun way to turn a boring side dish into an adorable star of a meal!

Szechuan Green Beans
My absolute favorite way to eat green beans (well, to eat lots of things really) is stir fried in oil and yummy rich Chinese-y sauce. Who doesn’t love that?! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to make a healthy version of stir-fried vegetables. Enter Szechuan green beans! This is adapted from a recipe in my book […]

Honey Nut Tempeh
This recipe is very special to me! I grew up baking a lot, but really didn’t start cooking until the end of college. This Rachael Ray recipe for honey nut chicken was the first thing I taught myself to make; and I made it repeatedly. On the side, I’d make a plain pile of […]

Coffee-Glazed Baked Doughnuts
I just got what must be one of the best hand-me-downs ever: my dad’s old school baked doughnut maker! Meet Dazey: Have you seen those little doughnut makers (and pie, cake pop, cupcake, whoopie pie, etc. makers) popping up all over the place? Well that is certainly not a new invention! Dazey […]

Roasted Garlic Falafel
Yummmmmy roasted garlic! I actually made this for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to post it. They were quick to make, looked amazing, and tasted even better. But when I tried to pick them up, they crumbled into a million pieces. Had to serve them with a spoon. Sad. […]

Chocolate Cherry Pie Breakfast Truffles
That’s right – I said truffles for breakfast! I am on such a high from an amazing workout this morning, and these truffles are partly responsible (I’d like to take some of the credit myself.) I’m the kind of person who has to work out in the morning, or I just won’t do it […]

Sweet Potato Chipotle Soup w/ Avocado Cream
I keep forgetting how delicious, easy, and healthy a simple vegetable soup can be. Hopefully you’ll be seeing a lot more yummy soups from me, because they’re awesome. I especially love a veggie soup that is really healthy but tastes creamy and rich. That’s what this soup is. It’s creamy, comforting, but also a bit […]

Maple & Cherry Granola
Yaaay, granola! This is more of a how-to post than a recipe. Granola is surprisingly easy and totally customizable! Plus, store-bought granola can be deceptively unhealthy – full of fat from oils and loads of sugar. Mine is deceptively healthy – all the fat from this is from nuts, chia seeds, and coconut. And the […]

New Flora: Fennel + Roasted Fennel Recipe
Fennel is an awesome vegetable that is actually not totally new to me. But I have only ever eaten it two ways – raw on salads or in an awesome Rachael Ray recipe with fennel, onions, and breadcrumbs in pasta (I’ll have to make that one later and post it!) So this is a “new […]

Baked Potato & Mushroom Gravy
Fear not the baked potato! Poor potatoes get such a bad rap! Probably because people usually eat them in the form of french fries? But a small or medium baked potato topped with sauteed mushrooms, a healthy mushroom gravy, and paired with a salad is a wonderful and delicious meal. And not a guilty meal!
