I always buy produce with the best of intentions: to consume as quickly as possible and eat many fruits and veggies as I can. But, it happens sometimes that I don’t get to something right away–I’ll get distracted by last minute cravings, other cooking projects, or over estimate how much food we can eat in …

Barley risotto is like regular arborio rice risotto’s chewy, hearty cousin. It’s still ultra creamy, it’s decadent tasting, and guess what–it’s much simpler to make! You’ve got to try this creamy vegan barley risotto stuffed zucchini. You heard me, stuffed zucchini!
This meal is a bit of a mouthful. Both to say and to eat. Spaghetti with roasted eggplant marinara AND vegan lentil meatballs. It’s also my favorite kind of meal too, both comfort food and bursting with delectable flavor. Slow simmered marinara is made with roasted garlic and roasted eggplant with a splash of red …
I think everyone needs at least 500 vegan mac and cheese recipes. This is possibly a conservative estimate, but you have to start somewhere! If you’ve been visiting my site for awhile, you’ve probably noticed that I make a lot of spicy food and have a particular love for chipotle, and so it’s probably unsurprising to …
You know those theoretical questions that ask you what cuisine you’d choose if you could only eat one for the rest of your life?

Happy New Year everyone! I’m a little late to the draw here, as we’re officially more than halfway through the month, but I spent the first part of my new year soaking up the sun in Hawaii and it was glorious. I was so not ready to come back home to cold weather, though I …
I didn’t set out to create a veganized mattar paneer when I made this dish. I was craving a rich tasting and creamy Indian curry, and didn’t want to break out a second pot to make a vegetable dish. Tofu was my first choice for the protein, I just love the tender morsels tucked into …
Black bean soup is lazy day cooking at it’s best. A perfectly cozy homemade meal that is so hands off it practically makes itself. I’ve been craving black bean soup for weeks now, with a mason jar full of dried beans set aside for this exact purpose. But despite the fact that it wouldn’t take much …
Making your own salsa is super easy to do, and the results are so incredible. It’s so much more flavorful than the bottled stuff, and you can adjust it to meet your exact tastes. There’s no better time to make it than at the end of summer, when tomatoes are ripe, juicy, and bursting with …
