I’ve been craving lots of fresh herbs since we’ve been limiting our trips to the grocery store and trying to stick to the essentials when we’re there. But yesterday we ventured out to the supermarket for a big shop and I picked up as many fresh herbs and vegetables as I could find / carry….

Ratatouille
Ratatouille, the dish made famous by Disney. Beyond associating this dish with the cutest animated rat in history, I love how healthy and celebratory it is! It’s the perfect dish for summer’s bounty of squashes and eggplants and juicy red tomatoes. I highly suggest taking a trip to the local farmers market and picking out…
Baba Ganoush
Baba Ganoush (also spelled baba ghanoush or baba ghanouj) is a Mediterranean dip made from grilled eggplant, tahini, and olive oil. It’s delicious with pita bread, crudites, or as a spread on wraps/sandwiches. I’ve been a huge fan of this dish since my time spent living in Turkey, but I never realized how easy it…
Miso Roasted Eggplant
I posted a recipe not too long ago that mentioned my desire to find more ways to cook with miso. A friend of mine commented: “miso and eggplant is really yummy, you should try it!” I’m so here for the food and recipe recommendations, and you know I’m up to try almost anything. So naturally,…
Slow Cooker Ratatouille
Ratatouille is like the ultimate summer harvest meal. It reminds me of France in June and that cute Disney movie, and is like health and vitality in a bowl. There is so much to love about ratatouille, which is why I wanted to find an easy way to make it during the busy and dark…
Italian Meatloaf
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is an iconic American meal, isn’t it? My English hubby has many (negative) preconceived notions about meatloaf, and I was determined to change his mind about this dish – and with a vegan version at that! I chose to serve it with delicious, creamy mashed potatoes to help my chances, but…
Eggplant Parmigiana
Eggplant Parm is one of my all-time favorites meals. My aunts and mom all make amazing versions of this iconic Italian-American dish, so there’s a lot to live up to. I’m very proud of my vegan attempt – it was absolutely delicious, even without the eggs and cheese! Nutritional yeast takes the place of Parmesan…
Eggplant Caponata
If you’re having leftovers today but want to change things up a bit with a new appetizer for you and your guests, try out this Eggplant Caponata with some crackers, leftover bread, or pita chips. It’s super easy, healthy, and delicious – my favorite three things! This recipe is from Chef Chloe’s Vegan Italian Cookbook….
Pasta and Eggplant
The easiest dinner in the world, in my humble opinion, is pasta. There’s a reason it’s one of the first things we learn to make as young adults and college students. In our home, we mix in vegetables with our pasta, basically using whatever we have on hand to add variety to a weekly staple….
Stuffed Eggplant with Tahini Sauce
Eggplant is one of those vegetables that I never really know what to do with. I’ll call it my “problem” vegetable. I never know whether to roast it, saute it, grill it, or fry it to get the texture I want. And I always forget to salt and let it sit first to draw out…
