    Sriracha Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce

    HOLY HELL, it’s the first day of FALL!!!! This may be my favorite day of the year. (Well, my birthday aside, because the 7 year old in me is alive and well.) I looked forward to summer more than ever before this year, and I loved it and soaked it up and enjoyed the sun…

  • Herbed Ricotta Summer Squash Pizza

      Whole wheat dough.  Fresh vibrant summer squash.  Herbed tofu ricotta.    That is, the new Tofutti Ricotta Cheese!  I am in love with Tofutti’s cream cheese, so I was extra excited to give the ricotta a try.  Tofu ricotta is plenty easy to make, I know, but I just had to try the ease…

  • Farro-Stuffed Acorn Squash

    Okay, I’m doing two things with this post — introducing a “new flora” food and making my first Hawaii trip-inspired meal!   The new food is farro.  I’ve had farro a handful of times before, but had never cooked it myself.  And I don’t think very many people are familiar with it, so I wanted…
