Mediterranean Couscous Salad
Let’s see if I can do this blogging thing again . . . after all, it’s been nearly 2-1/2 years since I’ve posted a recipe. Sorry for the long absence; life got busy, I suppose. To update you, we moved from Colorado to Brooklyn in March of last year, the twenty-one-year-old just finished his junior…
The Engine 2 Cookbook Review & Giveaway!
CONGRATS TO TIYA WHO WAS OUR RANDOMLY CHOSEN WINNER! Thank you to everyone who commented! I had the opportunity to review The Engine 2 Cookbook by Rip Esselstyn and his sister, Jane Esselstyn. You probably recognize Rip Esselstyn as the former firefighter and triathelete featured in the 2011 documentary, Forks Over Knives. He is also…
Gnocchi Soup with Kale & Veggie Sausage
Oh, winter soups, how I love thee! This soup is hearty, full of flavor, and packed with good-for-you veggies. The gnocchi are potato-y, pillow-y, perfection and even wheat- and gluten-free! Need another reason to love this soup? It’ll be ready in 30 minutes (and pairs well with a chilly December evening)! INGREDIENTS: 1-2 Tbs olive…
Tempeh “Chicken” Salad
Okay, I know what you’re thinking . . . It sure looks like the Chickpea Salad Tacos, but I assure you, totally different. (But they are both amazing!) Lunches as a vegan can be a pain to pull together, especially when you want something fast and healthy. I find it super convenient to make something…
Black Rice Salad with Craisins & Shiitakes
Black rice, a.k.a forbidden rice, rarely gets the kudos it deserves. It’s full of antioxidants (that help prevent cardiovascular disease, protect against cancer, detox the body, reduce inflammation, and improve brain function) and anthocyanins phytochemicals that aid in reducing cholesterol. This powerful whole grain also slows down absorption of sugar in the blood to help…
Portobello Tetrazzini Soup
Oh how I love soup season! I also love mushrooms, so portobellos are perfect for creating a hearty, satisfying soup. Meat-schmeat! Who needs it?! Because it’s just the two of us these days, I made a small batch (serves 3), but you could easily double this recipe to feed a larger crew. This soup has…
Roasted Corn & Chile Chowder
Fall is upon us and that means soup season! I had four fresh ears of corn in the fridge, cans of diced green chiles, and the cold and rain had set in outside, so I took it as a sign. Roasting the veggies ahead of time also seemed like the appropriate thing to do and…
Raw Date Granola
For the last couple of months, I have been making more of an effort to not skip breakfast and to incorporate more fruit into my diet. I’m not sure why I reach for leafy greens before an orange, but I guess I just love my veggies. As we all know, a healthy vegan diet’s gotta…
Avocado Toast with Cashew-Cilantro Cream
Yes, I’ve jumped on the avocado toast bandwagon. It was inevitable. I love avocados and I love an easy, delicious breakfast . . . or snack. I don’t love how expensive avocados are here in Colorado, so when I spot them on sale, I go a little avo-crazy. I added some chopped water chestnuts and…
Chickpea Salad Tacos
I find it’s easy to fall into a lunch rut, especially when you don’t have a lot of time to pull something together. The beauty of this salad is that you spend 20 minutes in the kitchen preparing it, but it can last you several days. (I promise you won’t get bored with it!) The…
Glass Noodles & Carrots with Peanut-Sesame Sauce
I’m learning how to think small. The College Student is well, off to college this fall, and frankly, he’s rarely home for dinner these days between his busy work and social schedules. Thus, thinking small. Or least, smaller. Admittedly, I struggle with figuring out portions, so cooking for two is certainly a challenge. It does…
