Caramelized Shallot Rice & Tempeh Bowl
I was watching one of Kris Carr’s amazing videos the other day (check out her blog & videos!), and she said she boils tempeh in a combo of water and tamari. Ummmm I eat tempeh all the live-long time, but I have never boiled it. Must try. So I did.

Secret-Ingredient Pasta Alfredo
I was clearly in the mood for seemingly-indulgent comfort foods this weekend when I planned and cooked the food I’m posting this week. Coconut water mocha, beer-battered onion rings, this recipe, and a dessert tomorrow. Hmmm… Eh well! This is one of those recipes that makes me feel kind of pompous. Because it is…

Dumpling Soup w/ Beyond Meat
Hearty. Warm. Comforting. Dumpling Soup. A perfect winter bowl. This winter bowl features a new vegan find: Beyond Meat. It’s a ridiculous chicken substitute. I love trying new vegan goods, and this is really delicious. I think this is the perfect meat sub for new vegans – the texture and look of Beyond Meat is…

Guacamole Fritters
Guess what the forecast is here in Sacramento tomorrow! 100% chance of rain from 7am-1pm (with winds between 17-21mph.) 100% chance. Why does that matter so much? Because tomorrow is the California International Marathon. I am participating with my vegan running group – I’m doing a relay, some folks are doing the fun run, and…

Apple Saute w/ Maple Tofu & Apple Cider Gravy
Apple Week dinner recipe! Hoooraaaah! First off, I accomplished a couple exciting things for the blog today! Look, a logo! I really hope you didn’t log onto the blog this afternoon around my lunch break, cause you probably saw this logo in one of about 17 weird locations with strange font and numerous awful borders…

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…

Saffron & Peas Risotto
I don’t really have any story behind this dish. I just love risotto, and I make it kind of a lot. I wanted to make sure y’all know how surprisingly easy it is to make! Enjoy 🙂

Honey Nut Tempeh
This recipe is very special to me! I grew up baking a lot, but really didn’t start cooking until the end of college. This Rachael Ray recipe for honey nut chicken was the first thing I taught myself to make; and I made it repeatedly. On the side, I’d make a plain pile of…
