Herbed Ricotta Summer Squash Pizza
Whole wheat dough. Fresh vibrant summer squash. Herbed tofu ricotta. That is, the new Tofutti Ricotta Cheese! I am in love with Tofutti’s cream cheese, so I was extra excited to give the ricotta a try. Tofu ricotta is plenty easy to make, I know, but I just had to try the ease…

Lemongrass Green Curry Quinoa Salad
Meet my new favorite lunch. A healthy salad with lots of quinoa and veggies and a dressing that will knock your socks off. The inspiration for this salad? I really need to use up a bottle of Thai green curry paste in my fridge. And now that I’ve discovered this little dressing, I…

Baked Sausage & Kale Rice
This is one of those secret meals. It tastes like it’ll make you pack on the pounds and roll into a food coma, but it’s actually full of healthy, energizing, nutrient-rich foods. It’s also incredibly fast to prepare. It has to bake long enough to heat up, but the actual hands-on prep time…

Roasted Strawberry Shortcake w/ Tarragon Biscuits
Yes, roasted strawberries! If you have never tried roasting strawberries, you. should. do. it. Roasted strawberries are indescribable. Seriously. But since this is a food blog, I should probably try, eh? Roasted strawberries are like eating hot sweet sticky fresh strawberry jam. How was that? Sound alright?

Chile Lime Fruit Platter
My coworker told me about this fruit salad (which she gets at the state fair of all places!) last week – cucumber, watermelon, mango, and jicama with a chile lime salt sprinkled on top. I think I just about drooled on my desk. Then promptly updated my grocery list. Since then, I’ve mentioned my…

Roasted Cauliflower Salad
How can you say no to cauliflower when it is this beautiful!? Usually I find cauliflower to be a fairly boring vegetable, and rarely buy it. But when I saw a giant beautiful purple cauliflower at the farmer’s market this weekend, I suddenly found myself excited about this often-ignored veggie.

Black Pepper Raw Cashew Cheese
Cashew cheese has been on my obscenely long list of vegan goodies to try to make at home. But that was just out of sheer unknowing curiosity. That is, until last week, when I bought a tub of cashew cheese at the farmer’s market. Now I knew I had to make some. I’m not…

Pot Sticker Stir-Fry
That’s right, potstickers in a stir fry! I first saw this idea on Eat This, Not That. I think I had it for lunch five days a week for two months after that. So addictive.

Sweet Corn Tomalito
Okay, this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it moments. Personally, I love sweet corn tomalito. What is sweet corn tomalito? You know those really inauthentic (yet delicious) Mexican restaurants that seem to specialize only in the greasiest Mexican food and over-sized margaritas (I’m looking at you, Chevy’s & El Torito)? You know that little scoop…
