Spicy Baked Pasta
Here’s a super simple weeknight meal that is fast, comforting, and delicious. You really need to pair it with a quick salad for a nutritionally sound meal, but I’m assuming you can manage that 😉 This dish doesn’t require hardly any hands-on time, but if you happen to have leftover plain cooked pasta in your…

Pineapple Rice & Jerk Seasoned Lentils
If you haven’t noticed, I loooove savory (and/or spicy) and sweet dishes. So full of flavor! This may be one of my favorite creations yet! I thought it would be fun to cook rice in pineapple juice. Well, I was right. Fact.

Sweet Potato & Soy Chorizo Empanadas
Happy National Empanada Day! It’s been WAY too long since I did a post for one of these super-authentic and totally-not-made-up holidays 😉 So that time has arrived. So have the empanadas!

Savory Spinach & Sausage Bread Pudding
Vegan. Bread. Pudding. With sausage and spinach and mushrooms and onions! It’s like a tofu scramble. With bread. And cheesy goodness. Need I say more?

Caramelized Shallot Rice & Tempeh Bowl

Happy 2013! I’m guessing that many of you have made some New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier, maybe lose some weight, cut back on sweets/salt/oil/whatever your vice is. I’ve got a handful of light and healthy recipes lined up for you for January. I was planning to start with something uber healthy like a green…

Guacamole Fritters
Guess what the forecast is here in Sacramento tomorrow! 100% chance of rain from 7am-1pm (with winds between 17-21mph.) 100% chance. Why does that matter so much? Because tomorrow is the California International Marathon. I am participating with my vegan running group – I’m doing a relay, some folks are doing the fun run, and…

Thanksgiving Special: 3 Holiday Recipes!
I’ve got a monster post for y’all today! Three Thanksgiving recipes. A bunch of other exciting things first! I had an excellent weekend healing-wise. I woke up Saturday to a much-improved finger. Until Saturday, my poor injured finger hurt and throbbed if I spent more than about 20-30 minutes without it elevated. I can now…
