I’m so encouraged by the quality of Beyond Meat and Impossible Burgers, and I really love that I can buy Beyond Meat products right in my normal grocery store! They taste just like regular burgers, it’s truly unbelievable 😲, and the best part is that you can enjoy them without harmful effects on the environment, animals,…

Lemon and Capers Tofu
My mom makes chicken piccata or “lemon and capers chicken” quite often for dinner. It was always a favorite of mine because of the brightness of the lemon flavor. I decided to recreate this favorite dish with tofu, and it turned out just as good! It’s important to press the tofu really well, or even…
Rice Bowl with Kale and Radish Slaw
Something about spring makes me want to eat healthier, whether it’s because I have to wear a bathing suit soon or because I’m naturally outside exercising more and building good health juju. This kale and radish slaw is a delicious and easy dish to whip up and pair with lots of different meals. Here it’s…
Greek Salad
Sometimes we’re just craving a great big salad for dinner. Whether it’s because we’ve been eating lots of treats and our bodies are screaming for a vegetable, or if we just want something quick, easy, crisp, and fresh to eat. We’ll often throw together a simple Greek salad (minus the typical feta cheese topping), and…

Lentil Tahini Burgers
Veggie burgers are fascinating to me. In the freezer section of the grocery store, there are always many different varieties and I have a lot of trouble differentiating them. Do I like Garden Vegetable flavor? Chipotle Black Bean? California? Or do I want the “Just Like Meat” versions of the veggie burger? As a vegetarian/vegan,…
Peanut Butter Fudge
I have a huge sweet tooth, but most of the time I find fudge a bit too sweet even for my tastes. I don’t often crave it, and haven’t missed it that much since going vegan. But….this fudge adapted from Minimalist Baker has changed my mind! It’s only sweetened with a touch of maple syrup…
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…
Baked Oatmeal
Breakfast is supposedly the most important meal of the day, but it usually gets the least amount of thought and time. I almost never have a cooked breakfast on a week day morning – it’s always a rushed bowl of cereal right before I run out the door for work. And yet, I wish I…
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…
