Artichoke & Roasted Garlic Bread
Artichoke and roasted garlic bread!!! I just had to repeat that. In case it didn’t sink in when you read the title. Before Preston and I went to Monterey last month, we had dinner with some friends (the awesome friends who made homemade vegan ravioli for dinner!) When they heard we were going to Monterey,…

Spinach & Cheese Scone
I am a scone making machine! First up there were blueberry scones. Then maple pecan scones. Now a savory variety: spinach and cheese 🙂 Several weeks back, I went to the Davis Farmer’s market with Preston, my sister, bro-in-law, and nieceling 🙂 My sister’s a more regular visitor and has a favorite scone from one…

Lotsa Links
Happy happy Friday, everyone! I’m actually shocked at how quickly the week flew by, but of course that doesn’t mean I’m not thrilled to have it be weekend time! 🙂 It will be one of those weekends with nothing major happening, but I’m stoked for the few plans I have made! Got some links for…

Caramelized rounds of sweet and soft butternut squash, fantastic roasted veggies…

Gotta try that one. So I whipped up a very basic pesto recipe while I roasted some asparagus and sweet potatoes and boiled some water.…

Chickpea & Snap Pea Thai Noodle Bowl
>You guys! I don’t think I’ve been properly raving about SPRING lately! My posts have been a bit slow and I haven’t been Instagramming up a storm lately. I’ve been stressed about some boring and not-worth-talking-about work/financial/etc. stress that’s super lame and has been making me feel a bit off. But spring has been making…

Gooey Secret-Ingredient Frosted Brownies
Oh man, I made the best damn brownies last week. I’m sorry if that’s totally pompous, but they were crazy good. So good that I hoarded most of them to myself and slowly ate every single last bite. I shared a little with Preston. I handed him a fork as I clutched the brownie pan…

Fishless Filets w/ Caramelized Pineapple & Avocado Creme
I promised a more elaborate fishless filet recipe when I did my product review and not-really-a-recipe. So here it is! DAMN was it good. I adapted Giada De Laurentiis’s recipe to make a sweet and savory vegan dinner that was drool-worthy. Like, for reals. Like, the kind of meal that I’ll probably have to repeat…
