Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and readers. What are you thankful for today? What traditions are you looking forward to? Or perhaps you’re creating new ones… Maybe a new tradition is adding a meatless main dish to your Thanksgiving table. Or perhaps you just have a fussy vegan to feed and no idea…

DIY Burrito Bowls
Those who know me, know that burrito bowls make a regular rotation in my kitchen. Mostly because they are so easy to prepare and are also great when meal prepping for the week ahead. You can use and combo of toppings but the recipes below are perhaps my favorite rendering.
Roasted Potatoes with Chimichurri
Chimichurri, if you’ve never heard of it, is an Argentinian sauce/condiment. Imagine if pesto and salsa got together and had a baby, it would resemble chimichurri. With a base of parsley and cilantro, giving it its distinctive flavor. The addition of roasted garlic and onions give it an earthy flavor while remaining bright with just…
General Tao Tofu & Broccoli
Looking for an easy plant-based dinner, loaded with protein and veggies? Look no further. As much as I love Chinese food, I can rarely eat at Chinese restaurants. Generally speaking pretty much everything on the menu is laden with soy sauce and gluten.
Chipotle (Blender) Salsa
As iconic as chips and guacamole are for a night of drinks with friends, chips and salsa are a close second. They’re budget friendly and a snap to prepare. This recipe is so simple it barely requires an introduction or post, but let me tell you this. This beats any jarred salsa hands down. Its…
DIY Sofritas
OMG you guys, this Sofritas recipe is DA BOMB. If you love the Sofritas at Chipotle’s, then you are going to love this. Don’t get me wrong, I love Chipotle’s restaurants, but there aren’t any local ones, so what’s a guy to do? Well, I put my DIY spirit to use and created this.
DIY Kale Chips
I have a bit of confession today. I’m kind of obsessed with kale chips! After all who doesn’t love chips? Salty and crispy, not to mention the fact that these are actually healthy. Who would feel bad about eat an entire bowl? You basically just ate an entire head of kale! Yes there is salt…
Maple Walnut Waffles
Pancakes are perhaps the most requested breakfast/brunch dish in our house, however, waffles are a close second. The receipt of a new waffle iron this past Christmas has caused them to have many repeat performances over the past few months. While I like the simplicity of my old stove-top waffle maker, the convenience of an…
Berry-licious…
About 4 weeks ago my husband and i embarked on a new fitness routine. One that involves cutting out refined sugar, starchy carbs, added oils, and wheat. This combined with the exhaustion from the excruciating workouts have left me searching for breakfast alternatives… Tofu scramble and overnight oats are great, but they have there limits….
Donuts worth dunkin…
Perhaps into a warm mug of mulled cider. Or would that be too much apple cider, or is there even such a thing as too much apple cider? Apple cider, another seasonal favorite of mine. Thick, and super sweet, served ice cold or piping hot, it wouldn’t be Autumn without it.
