Taco Salad — all the same goods, deconstructed! Just a different way to eat one our favorites, and one that is so easy to assemble. It took me 10 minutes to make dinner, which for some reason is a quality I still appreciate even though we have all the time in the world these days…

Creamy Butter Beans with Spinach Pesto
I am always searching for a new way to enjoy beans, since they are a top protein source for vegan/vegetarians and we eat them so often! NYTimes Cooking inspired me with one of their recipes a few weeks ago. Their idea of a creamy white bean balanced by a pop of green freshness really appealed to…
Coconut Noodle Soup
Soup soup soup! I’m in a soup mood, what can I say? I love a meal that all fits neatly in a bowl and warms the soul. This particular soup is slurpy in all the right ways, full of noodles, bok choy, and thick creamy broth, and is just the right amount of spicy +…

This is a slightly spicy, tomato-based chickpea dish that’s wonderful served over rice or couscous. It’s fragrant, warm, simple, and…

Sweet Potato White Bean Chili
