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.

Blackened Artichokes
Ahhhh artichokes. One of my favorite things in this life. I love them so much that once I’ve decided I’m going to fix an artichoke, I rarely am patient enough to do anything with them other than microwave them and throw them on a plate. Buuut I already posted that recipe.

Cheesy Jalapeno Baked Fries
Baked french fries. With a spicy jalapeno cheddar-y seasoning. They’re just so good I could cry. These are inspired by those oh-so-yummy Miss Vickie’s Jalapeno potato chips. Which are saaaaaadly not vegan.

Truffled Mushroom Bruschetta
Truffled mushrooms. On toasty whole grain bread. I’m not sure I need to say anything else. Here’s a super quick and simple recipe (and post) for you. This is one of my go-to snacks. Or a little treat to put on the side of a big salad for lunch or dinner. It’s fast, […]

Ginger Sesame Carrot Slaw
Just a quick little post for you today! I needed a refreshing fast veggie dish for a hot and busy summer. And one that doesn’t require turning on the stove at all. You can whip this together in no time, and it is light and bright and filling.

Sweet Wasabi Yam & Avocado Salad
Here’s a restaurant-favorite remake. And another short-ingredients-list-recipe. This amazing sushi place near me makes a delicious little salad with fresh tuna, avocado, and a mild and sweet wasabi dressing. I thought really hard about what to use to replace the tuna, and kept mentally rejecting things that would be a pretty decent taste […]

Mustardy Artichoke Potato Salad
Here’s a remake of an amazing restaurant find. A friend of mine repeatedly told me I had to go to a restaurant in the Silverlake area in LA called Forage. Finally we went. And it was amazing. It has a vast array of beautiful serving bowls and platters filled with sides, veggies, and […]

Soy Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms
Cute little stuffed mushroom caps! Filled with the amazing wonderfulness that is soy chorizo, one of my favorite ingredients of all time. I can just brown a little soy chorizo in a pan and eat it with a fork. But it’s not a very nutritious ingredient, so I like to mix it with all these […]

Easy Sesame Edamame Snack
It’s taking me awhile to adjust my eating habits to working out of an office – I was definitely spoiled in school for years with a flexible schedule, and then with working from home. Now I need to plan healthy snacks and meals ahead of time and have something easy to pack for work so […]
