  • Squash & Brussels Sprouts Pasta Salad w/ Brown Sugar Balsamic Vinaigrette

    Long title, I know!  But I just couldn’t imagine leaving anything out, every ingredient is a selling point with this dish.  Roasted veggies, pasta, and a sweet-and-tangy vinaigrette = my new winning dish.   Plus candied pecans!  But enough was enough in the title 🙂 Just a quickie post for you today, jumping straight to the…

  • Peanut Butter Grilled Cheese

    Preston has been telling me since we met that a peanut butter grilled cheese is one of his favorite sandwiches.  Weird.  So weird. The other night I made a recipe with Daiya’s new cheddar style slices, and he took a bite and said, “you know what this would be good for?”  To which I immediately…

  • Squash & Roasted Garlic Ricotta Pasta

    As soon as I saw this beautiful recipe for vegan ricotta, I had to give it a try.  It. is. divine.  Seriously don’t need to try any more ricotta recipes, this one is fantastic and simple.   Expect to see a handful of ricotta recipes with this one, because I am super happy to have ricotta…

  • 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…

  • Aloo Gobi Masala (Indian Potato Cauliflower Curry)

    Got a quickie recipe review for you folks!  I had planned on being creative and working on one of my own recipes tonight, but I just was not up for it.  I wanted a fast and easy Sunday night recipe, so I pulled up a recipe that I’ve had bookmarked forever and gave it a…

  • Coconut Red Curry Pumpkin Risotto

    The pumpkin continues!!!  I’ve had a couple serious cravings lately.  The first is Thai curries.  A few weeks ago Preston ordered some from a restaurant directly across the street from my apartment.  I’m pretty sure there’s crack in it, because ever since I stole just a few bites of that red curry, I have been dyyyyying for as much…

  • Stuffed Avocado Nacho Bowls

    Quickie recipe post today! I found a low-maintenance, super easy meal that is SO.MUCH.FUN. Like most of my favorite recipes, this is also easily adjustable so you can make it suit your own taste.  Or give it some variety and make it over and over and over again.

  • Weeknight Coconut Curry Lentils

    It’s the end of a long day and I get home from work hungry.  I know I should cook a healthful meal.  But I’m tired.  I got up at the crack of dawn (after too little sleep, far too often) and worked out, then worked a full day, and now I just want to relax and nourish myself.  So I head…

  • 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…

  • 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…
