Lentils are an incredibly satisfying and nourishing food. They are also extremely versatile. You can add them to soups, use them for a vegan taco filling, make fritters out them and use them to help bind a veggie burger. You can also just make a simple pot of lentils and enjoy them over brown rice…

Basil Cashew Cream Pasta
Steve has been bringing home little gifts for me. Food gifts, like raw cashews. He knows I love ingredients to play with. The raw cashews have been especially welcome as I have been toying with the idea of trying cashew creams. Since switching to a plant-based diet nearly a year ago, I’ve become more and…
Baked Butternut Squash Fries with Rosemary and Sea Salt
You may not know this but, I’m a bit of a french fry junkie. And I have been for most of my life. I try to only enjoy them on occasion these days because unfortunately, they’re not very healthy. I’ve attempted to make baked ‘fries’ before, but they never really came out crispy enough (I…
Knarley Barley
Knarley Barley is our take on beans and greens. In some variation or another, we probably eat this weekly. We’ve always got some sort of beans in the freezer and greens in the fridge. Chopped tomatoes are a pantry item always on hand, as with the rest of the ingredients. It’s absolutely my go to…

Black Bean Quinoa Salad
I asked my boyfriend for some text because he was strutting around after I used some text in another blog post. He happily obliged me. He spoils me rotten:

Texturized Soy Protein + Basic Marinade
Texturized Soy Protein (TSP) can be a daunting ingredient to work with. I’ve had a bag in my cabinet for about a year now, waiting for the perfect use to present itself to me. Don’t get me wrong, I like using TSP. I’m inspired to use TSP. I have ideas for using TSP. But I’ve…
Watermelon Limeade
What do you drink when you’ve been in a heatwave for several days and just don’t want another glass of water? That’s right, a nice icy, sweet, tart glass of watermelon limeade. I’ve been craving this lately so I thought today was the day. This is super easy and since watermelon is in season, pretty…
Greek Salad with Farro and Marinated Tofu
I just love all of the flavors in a Greek salad. The crisp sweetness of the peppers, cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes as well as the tangy, salty olives and creamy feta cheese are a joy for the taste buds. Not to mention the deliciousness of a good garlicky, lemony Greek dressing with fresh oregano….
