Did you know that roasting radishes makes them way sweeter and removes their famous sharp bite? Neither did I until I had an abundance of radishes and started experimenting with ways to cook them! They mellow out and caramelize in the oven, proving my hypothesis that roasted veggies = best veggies!!! I roasted my radishes…

Cheesy Potato Croquettes
Croquettes are usually a bread-crumbed + fried form of leftovers. Very typically they are made of leftover mashed potatoes, but I’ve also seen them made of leftover pasta or sweet potatoes, etc. Here is a vegan version of this comfort food made with vegan cheese shreds, almond milk, and vegan butter. I chose to bake…
Easy Garlic Bread
To me, garlic bread goes with just about everything. If it’s a saucy dish, then it’s practically necessary! We often whip up this quick and easy garlic bread recipe to go with dinner on a whim. Hubs likes when we have crusty bread because it makes the best garlic bread. This time I picked up…
Roasted Summer Squash and Red Potatoes
We roast vegetables a lot. It’s our favorite way to cook up many different veggies at once, and it’s so simple and delicious that it’s become our go-to dinner. I wanted to shake things up a bit, so we did a new combo of veggies, summer squash and red potatoes, and added a breadcrumb coating…
Mofongo
Every time I go to Puerto Rico, I have to have some mofongo – a delicious dish of mashed plantains. I have a cookbook of Puerto Rican dishes, which is for the most part heavily meat-centric, but I seriously LOVE the section on plantains. Mofongo is typically flavored with chicharrones or pork rinds, but I…
Garlic Rosemary Flatbread
Bread is life. It’s very healing for my soul, and brings me a lot of joy and happiness. 🙏 Plus, it’s just gosh darn delicious and I could eat it for/with every meal! 😺 That’s why I’ve decided to try to make it myself sometimes. I want to unlock the secret to this life fortifying…
Rice Pilaf
We have rice with our dinner pretty often, whether it is with curry, stir fry, or just lots of yummy roasted vegetables. I love my rice cooker and am always happy with the fluffy, starchy white rice it makes. However, sometimes I want to up our rice game with a more special base of flavors…
The Best Vegan Potato Salad
My husband tasted this potato salad and said “this was the best potato salad I’ve ever had”. Can you believe that? I almost fainted! So I’m basking in that praise and rolling with it (as seen by this recipe’s presumptuous title), because I think he’s right! It really was the best potato salad — and…
Swiss Chard with Garlic and Onions
Rainbow chard is such a pretty vegetable. When I worked on a farm, I remember being amazed by the beautiful colors that magically emerged from the ground. It was so humbling that the soil, sun, and water could produce such a gorgeous and nutritious plant. Even though it’s pretty, I must admit that it’s not…
Stuffed Tomatoes
Stuffing doesn’t get enough love throughout the year. It is so delicious, it really shouldn’t just be a holiday food like it is for most people. Stovetop Savory Herb stuffing is vegan and so quick to make, and it’s such an easy filling for lots of vegetables, and especially these roasted beefsteak tomatoes. I fancied…
