It’s officially feels like spring! I know that it’s been spring for almost a few months now, but the weather is finally getting nicer, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming! Everything is coming back to life and it brings me such joy! With the weather getting warmer, I want to spend maximum…
Vegan Green Buddha Bowls
Do you ever have your meals all planned out and then you get a whiff of something delicious and you want to chuck your current plans and make something else? (me too!) This week has been a weird week because I worked the weekend/had a day off/started vacation today, so I needed to have enough…
Tuscan Winter Vegetable Quinoa
Happy New Year, guys! I hope you had a healthy and happy holiday with those you love and wish that 2019 is filled with all the love, adventure, and fun! My first blog post of 2019 is a recipe that I actually posted back in March 2014. AKA FIVE YEARS AGO. (for vintage photos that…
Vegan Butternut Squash Chili
As the nights become colder, all I want to do is come home, curl up on my couch, and binge watch the Great British Baking Show… preferably with a glass of wine in one hand and a bowl of something warm and yummy in the other. And this Vegan Butternut Squash Chili totally delivers on the…
Fiesta Quinoa Salad
This is probably the best quinoa salad you will ever eat. Promise. It is everything you wanted in a grain-based salad – soft, crunchy, sweet, and tangy. It is so good that I chucked my “no-leftovers” mentality to the curb and ate it for days on end. (did I mention that it is unbelievably delicious?)…
Vegan Mushroom Marsala
We are officially one week into Vegetarianism 6.0. Every year (for the past six years, at least), we have gone vegetarian/vegan for Lent. And each year I promise myself that I am going to step out of the box and be creative. And it never happens. Because life. Work + blogging + working out +…
Stewed Greek-Style Cannellini Beans
Happy Fri-YAY, peeps! Today, I’m sharing a yummy, easy vegan dinner because we are now in Lent. Well, everyone is in Lent except us Eastern Orthodox Christians (we start on Monday!). For the past five years, my whole crew has gone vegetarian/vegan for the whole 40 days… which means I am currently in major meal…
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Falafel
Let’s talk about how Thanksgiving is over, but I am still convinced that it is September. Which means that I am woefully behind on all my Christmas shopping, holiday baking, and overall festive cheeriness. So as I try to cram as much wintertime joy into a short period of time, I am always searching for…
Roasted Vegetable + Farro Grain Bowls
I love playing with my food. Which means that I LOVE grain bowls. My favorite way to eat is having the ability to create my own meal from a bunch of different options right in front of me (pancake bar, mimosa bar, chili bar… you name it, I love it!). Grain bowls lend themselves beautifully to…
Oven Roasted Tomatoes
Tomatoes = summer. From begging for a tomato plant at Home Depot to buying $30 of tomatoes at the farmer’s market to eating caprese salads every Sunday for a whole summer, tomatoes are a constant fixture of my summer life. And why not? They are absolutely gorgeous, amazingly cheap, and fresh fresh fresh. There is…
