Sweet Tomato Compote w/ Chick’n Scallopini
I have been meaning to make this for almost a year now. I have so many ideas for recipes that it can take a really really realllly long time to get around to actually doing them. Last October, I wrote many posts about Sacramento’s Vegan Chef Challenge. It’s an event where local non-vegan restaurants offer…

Toasted Coconut Mocha Slushie
I told you during my Daily Things yesterday that I’m going to try to celebrate the end of summer a little more and appreciate it while it still lasts. So even though I can’t get pictures of tall boots, scarves, pumpkins, and orange leaves out of my mind, I’m going to focus on the fact…

Blackberry Peach Sangria
I mentioned in my Daily Things that I’m trying to appreciate summer before I get too fall-excited. Well, sangria seems to be the perfect way to really appreciate summer, don’t you agree? I’ve got a few refreshing bevvies I want to post while it’s still a bazillion degrees outside, starting with this amazing concoction. Sangria…

Weeknight Enchilada Lasagna
Now I know I’ve been raving and raving about how excited I am for fall. And that statement totally stands. It’s way true. But I definitely took for granted how amazing the long daylight hours this summer were, so that anything I made for dinner I could last minute snap some great pictures of to…

Pistachio Tofu Pudding
This is a long overdue recipe. I promised it to y’all awhile back. I wish I had some great excuse, about how I’ve been slaving away in the kitchen trying to get this recipe just right but my trials failed. But no. I just had no idea where to start, so I procrastinated. And it feels like I’ve…

Mint & Cucumber Cooler Green Juice
Quick juice recipe for you! All summer long, I was drinking more smoothies than juices. Which totally makes sense, it’s just what my body wanted. But lately I’ve been missing my green juice habit, so I’m trying to get back into it! I did some juice prep this weekend so I could make juicing a…

Roasted Vegetable & Creamy Pesto Sandwich
I had a sandwich like this at a little random restaurant while wine tasting this weekend, and it was so good that I had to recreate it immediately! My friends and I went to Amador County for some wine tasting (some pics on yesterday’s weekend recap post), and we wound up getting a little lost. …

Boozy Brownies w/ Port Reduction Frosting
I’ve got a treat for you. No, this is not a treat-with-hidden-black-beans kind of treat. This is not a tastes-more-decadent-than-it-really-is kind of treat. This is a splurge. A seriously chocolately brownie filled with sugar, flour, oil, loads of chocolate, and booze. And I’m not sorry. I really was planning on just making plain brownies without…

Raw Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Here’s an easy delicious little raw treat! I made a matcha-free version of these last week (but ate them all before I took any pictures. Oops.) This morning I woke up needing a small treat before my workout, which normally would be my breakfast truffles. For a special treat, I whipped up some of these! …

Cheddar Broccoli Potato Fritters
This was a thrown-together weeknight dinner gone very very right. These are a fairly decadent little meal, but a great treat that you totally deserve. Or you can throw it on a big plate of greens and feel a lot less guilty about it. That’s my style 🙂 I bought a can of peeled white…
