  • Simple Spicy Orange Stir Fry

    Oh man, this stir fry is a winner! I’ve made a fairly elaborate orange stir fry before, which I certainly like. But lately (especially while my pantry is packed away and I’m cooking at other people’s homes), simplicity trumps all.

  • Fishless Filets w/Strawberry Salsa + Guac

    Want a light dinner that comes together in no time that’s perfect for spring! This is it. I shared my quick dinner on last week’s WIAW but I wanted to get up a quick recipe because it was just SO good and satisfying. In the time it took my fishless filets to cook up in…

  • Weeknight Meal | Simple Taco Night

    I don’t think I do taco night enough. It needs a comeback. I made tacos recently and was so happy with how versatile, delicious, satisfying, and healthy they were. Plus fast. Plus something that can easily satisfy little vegan me and not-so-vegan boyfriend. This is not a recipe at all, but some awesome simple tacos…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Ricotta-Stuffed Baked Manicoti

    I made a GREAT Sunday night casserole this week, and it’ll make for several fantastic leftover meals during the week. Two weeks in a row now of Sunday night casseroles, and I’ve got no complaints. I forget how easy stuffed pasta really can be, but it feels so special. This meal came together pretty quickly,…

  • Artichoke Dip Gnocci & Cauliflower Bake

    Happy Friday!!! Hooooray 🙂 I don’t know about you, but my week draaaaagged. Lucky for me, I had a bright green yummy casserole in my fridge that made me happy 🙂 I used spinach and artichoke dip as the sauce in this casserole. I’m kinda proud of myself 🙂 I’ve been craving my spinach and…

  • Red Curry Pizza

    You know what I forgot to do last week?  Say <strong>happy first official day of spring!!!</strong> I’m usually a fall girl. It’s my favorite season and I love it, but MAN am I excited for spring this year. I had some serious winter blues. I’m ready for the lighter and longer days, the spring blooms,…

  • Fishless Filets w/ Dill Dijonnaise

    This is SUCH an easy “recipe,” guys! The awesome folks at Gardein sent me a sample of their newest product, golden fishless filets, so I got to try them this weekend 🙂 I am seriously impressed! In my pre-vegan days I bought a package of tilapia once a week, which usually meant I ate it…

  • Asparagus Pasta Aglio Olio

    Happy Sunday evening, all!Preston and I made an awesome simple dinner tonight, I took inspiration from a simple dish one of my LA visitors had last weekend. She’s a picky eater with some dietary restrictions, so she eats very simple dishes. One of my favorite Sacramento restaurants, Paesano’s, was really understanding of her modifications and…
