Thai Basil & Peanut Pesto Buckwheat Pasta
Finally, success with a savory recipe! UBER success. This is crazy good. I have one serving left over and it’s all I can do to avoid running into the kitchen right now to eat it. YUM. I complained yesterday that I couldn’t even make sure I bought fresh Thai basil this week – I was…

June Salad Challenge + Basil Gnocchi + Roasted Asparagus Salad
Ohmygosh it’s June already! Can you believe it? I am done with all the posts about myself, but I really did enjoy having a blogging challenge last month. This month I’m giving myself a new challenge: a salad a day. I always aim for a salad a day, but it’s usually just a goal…

Spicy Baked Pasta
Here’s a super simple weeknight meal that is fast, comforting, and delicious. You really need to pair it with a quick salad for a nutritionally sound meal, but I’m assuming you can manage that 😉 This dish doesn’t require hardly any hands-on time, but if you happen to have leftover plain cooked pasta in your…

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…

The Vegan Chef Challenge (“VCC”) is a month-long event here in Sacramento in which a bunch of restaurants have agreed to provide a vegan menu. They’ll make an…

Spinach & Artichoke Pasta
Not to toot my own horn too much (yes, I really just used that phrase), buuuuuut I did something kind of awesome the other day. I made my Spinach & Artichoke Dip. Then I tossed it with hot pasta.

Creamy Vegetable Bolognese Pasta
This is the first recipe I vegan-ized after my vegan switch! It is a brilliant tasty recipe for vegetable bolognese sauce from the lovely Giada DeLaurentiis. And veganizing it is super-simple – just swap some Tofutti cream cheese for the mascarpone cheese the recipe calls for, leave out the parm, and you have…

Leftover Makeover: Crispy "Fried" Ravioli
Crispy ravioli? Wasn’t my last post ravioli? I warned you I was doing a post for the leftovers! Actually, I was supposed to post it yesterday, but after a long week of working and trying to unpack, I passed out! Sorry for the wait! This is the first of a new feature I’m calling…

Whole Wheat Spinach & Cheese Ravioli
Homemade. Vegan. Whole wheat. Ravioli. Ummmmmm . . . enough said. I saw Giada DeLaurentiis make homemade ravioli on the Food Network, and she made it look ridiculously easy. So I figured this is a great solution to the lack of vegan ravioli in my life – is it just me, or is…

Peanutty Soba Noodle Salad
Slicing veggies aside, this is a really quick meal to throw together. Especially if you use precooked refrigerated soba noodles like I did. And it’s great cold, so you can make extras to take to work for lunch!
