    GUYS, I seriously cannot tell you how excited I am to post this recipe for my perfect vegan Italian no-meatloaf! I think I started planning it around July or August.

  • Easy Weeknight Enchiladas

    Helloooo internet friends! I am feeling drained already this week! It may just be today due to my sleepless night last night. I vaguely remember I kept waking up to find Preston had somehow sent another pillow from his side of the bed over to my side and I flung it on the ground. I’m…

  • Artichoke & Bean Bruschetta

    Want a dip that’s a bright, fresh, and easy alternative to hummus? I’ve been munching on this yummy “bruschetta” dip like it’s hummus. It’s pretty close. I adapted a recipe from my cookbook Giada at Home for artichoke and bean bruschetta for this awesome light dish. Something about it just tastes like spring. It’s probably…

  • Avocado, Chorizo & Black Bean Quesadillas

    Hi internet friends!  I hope you all had a fantastic holiday (and hopefully long) weekend.  I felt so spoiled to get a four-day weekend at my new job the first week, especially after taking so few days off the past year.  It. was. bliss.  Mostly I bummed around my apartment and a little bit around…

  • New Flora: Mung Beans + Ginger-Garlic Saute

    Something fantastic happened at work today!  A big gust of wind shook the trees outside my window, and guess what?!  Leaves fell.  One of them even gracefully swooped and swirled and landed on the ledge outside my window.  Yep.  It’s here.  I can’t deny it’s fall anymore when leaves are literally falling in front of…

  • New Flora: Jackfruit + Taco Salad

    It has been so long since I’ve done a new flora post!  This one is really exciting.  Hopefully you’ve heard of jackfruit, but if not then I am excited to be the one to tell you! Jackfruit is often used as a shredded meat replacement because it naturally has that texture.  So today I’m sauteing…

  • Slow-Cooked Soy Chorizo & Bean Chili

      I made a giant vat of chili.   Despite the heat.  It’s never too hot for a good chili.    I am talking enormous amounts of smoky comforting chili goodness that is currently taking over my fridge, freezer, and belly.

  • Two-Ingredient Chipotle Black Bean Dip

    Yes, two ingredients.  No more necessary.   I had this wonderful black bean dip at a restaurant with a mild but definite chipotle flavor.  I was trying to think of how to make it and kept procrastinating making/posting it because I had no idea what I would put in the dip other than chipotles in…
