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…

Ginger-Garlic Tofu Salad
 Folks, it’s been a really long time since I posted a salad recipe. It’s because I haven’t been eating them nearly as much as usual either….oops. My normal salad appeal has just not been there lately. I’ve had plenty of veggies – roasted, in soups, cooked into all the curry dishes I’ve been eating…

Marsala & Garlic Roasted Mushrooms
Want some mushrooms that have been roasted in sweet wine? With lots of garlic too? I thought you might. I have never had marsala wine before, but always wanted to try, so I picked up a bottle at Trader Joe’s this weekend and just tested cooking a couple mushrooms that I’d completely drenched in it. …

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…

Creamy Roasted Garlic Salad Dressing
Do you want a dressing recipe that will make you crave and devour a salad? Thought so.  I saw a bottle of creamy roasted garlic dressing awhile ago on sale at the store. I rarely buy pre-bottled dressing, but was trying to eat salads more often so I wanted a nice variety of options. …

Oil-Free Hummus Trio
I love hummus. I really do. But I have a little food ADD and I get distracted really easily. I have to force myself to finish a tub of anything in my fridge, eat all my leftovers, and not let food go bad. Even if I love whatever it is I have to use up,…

Caramelized Onion & Roasted Garlic Veggie Pizza
Here’s a dinner I made last week that I was supposed to post much earlier this week! It was a wonderful pizza that I think I’ll have to remake ASAP . . . There are a few frozen cheese-less veggie pizzas out there that have this incredibly amazing sauce instead of marinara. If you’ve had…

Artichokes with Rosemary-Garlic Mayonnaise
This doesn’t even qualify as a recipe. I just needed to show how easy it is to microwave an artichoke in a fraction of the time it takes to boil or steam one. It’s ridiculously easy and sooooo delicious.  And in the few minutes that it’s cooking away in the microwave, you can whip up…
