Doyle’s (and Leslie’s) Mom’s Hungarian Goulash
You guys. Have you ever had goulash? I realize it’s not a super common food for most people. For me, it was a childhood staple. It was my favorite thing my mom made for an incredibly long period of life. It’s a really simple dish – basically the Hungarian version of a Bolognese sauce. We ate…

Polenta Rounds w/ Pizza Saute
Yes, I said pizza sauté! I really wanted pizza, but decided that my fridge was way too insanely well-stocked to justify going out to buy cheese and a pizza dough. So instead, I used what I had for a quick pizza-like meal and was so happy with it! A weeknight meal done right. This is…

Sweet Potato & Chorizo Plate w/ Vegan Nacho Sauce
Meet my new favorite dish. I. am. in. love. So many of my favorite things here! Sweet potatoes, soy chorizo, avocadoes, some spicy goodness, and melty vegan cheddar. But this sauce. GAH! It’s incredible. This was one of those risky recipes, where a total and utter flop would not have surprised me. I took my…

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…

Sweet Tomato Compote w/ Chick’n Scallopini
I have been meaning to make this for almost a year now. I have so many ideas for recipes that it can take a really really realllly long time to get around to actually doing them. Last October, I wrote many posts about Sacramento’s Vegan Chef Challenge. It’s an event where local non-vegan restaurants offer…

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…

Overnight Steel Cut Oats Muesli
Did you know you can have overnight oats with steel cut oats? You can eat them raw. Just need to soak ’em and soften ’em! It’s a truly terrific way to start your day. This little bowl of goodies is so darn filling!

Pasta Primavera
I am in love with this simple adaptable veggie dish. My dad made this for me and my sister sometimes when we were growing up – one of very few meals that would actually get me to eat some vegetables. It had to be loaded with tons of garlicky goodness (weird kid, I know), and…

Pineapple Teriyaki Soy Curls
Hello, happy dinner 🙂 I mentioned my pineapple teriyaki soy curls yesterday in my super-late weekend recap. I threw this dish together in about 20 minutes over the weekend, packed it up while it was piping hot, and took it to the drive-ins with the boyfriend. It stayed crazy hot during the ride…

Szechuan “Beef” Stir Fry
Yet another quick lunch fix that turned out so well I had to post! This weekend I tested out Gardein’s new Szechuan Beef Strips for my lunch and they were delicious. I am really trying to cut down on processed foods and eat a healthy whole foods-based diet, but my absolute favorite processed goodies are…
