Cilantro Latkes with Zucchini
I must have been in a Cooking Light mood this week – here’s a second recipe from Cooking Light, which I absolutely love. I’m very happy to have discovered that I don’t notice some shredded zucchini in latkes – so why not add them? Extra fiber, pretty green color, and less guilt for eating crispied…

Recipe Review | Vegan Crab Cakes
OMG these are so good! But I didn’t change a single thing in this recipe, so I’m calling it a recipe “review.” I got this recipe from the Skinny Bitch cookbook – Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. I just can’t believe how delicious they are. Not the healthiest thing on this blog, but so worth…

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!

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…

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. …

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!

Spicy "Crab" Roll
I found the simplest and healthiest way to satisfy my sushi cravings vegan-style. I really loved sushi a lot, and ate it pretty often. The healthiest way to make sushi is just to put some vegetables in a sushi roll with a little rice (in the same manner as my summer rolls). But that’s pretty…

Spicy Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
I’m so proud of this recipe, I can hardly stand it! My sister’s brother-in-law makes the best burgers. His recipe is simple: several pounds of meat, an entire bottle of chipotle flavored Tabasco, cilantro, worcestershire sauce.

Farro-Stuffed Acorn Squash
Okay, I’m doing two things with this post — introducing a “new flora” food and making my first Hawaii trip-inspired meal! The new food is farro. I’ve had farro a handful of times before, but had never cooked it myself. And I don’t think very many people are familiar with it, so I wanted…

Asparagus & "Bacon" Risotto with Melon
This is my twist on the recipe that made me love asparagus – a grilled asparagus and melon salad, with prosciutto and mozzarella. That salad recipe was the first taste I had of asparagus and melon together, and I’m still shocked at how wonderfully they pair together. They’re both also great with the smoky flavor…
