Kale and White Beans
I don’t think I utilize frozen vegetables enough. Too often, I forget about their ease and versatility. I know that eating fresh produce means getting the most nutrients, but frozen ain’t a bad alternative. And, frozen vegetables are likely to be cheaper and obviously won’t go bad for a very long time unlike fresh produce….
Quinoa Edamame Salad
Don’t you love when food tastes super fresh? A cold summer salad full of citrus flavors and fresh vegetables and herbs is the perfect meal for a hot night or an afternoon picnic. This salad is super filling from the quinoa and edamame, and bursting full of flavor from marinating in a simple olive oil…
Peanut Sauce Zucchini Noodles
A lot of us are trying to limit our refined carbohydrate, gluten, and/or processed grains intake these days, or at least I am! I am really conscious of how much added sugar I consume on a daily basis and am trying to cut back where I can. Vegans and vegetarians often have to rely on…
Zucchini Fries
Zucchini = summer to me. My parents’ garden would yield so many zucchinis every year, and sometimes they would be the size of my thigh. We had zucchini in and with everything for most summers of my life. I love the delicious watery fleshy flavor of a freshly picked one. Squash is so versatile, as…

Bowls are so trendy these days, aren’t they? They’re on most healthy or vegetarian restaurant menus, they’re all over Instagram, they’re in every vegan cookbook I own. But what is a bowl other than a normal meal packaged in a pretty way? You got your quinoa or grain base, you got your bean or lentil…
Broccoli Salad
I’m adding this recipe to my list of favorite summer salads because this broccoli salad is amazing. You refrigerate it for at least an hour to make sure the dressing works its magic and infuses the sweet, sour, and salty flavors into the raw broccoli florets. And because it is served cold, it is so…
Teriyaki Veggie Tacos
I’m pretty proud of myself for this one. A change in our schedules meant that we would both be home for dinner unexpectedly, and with a fridge full of produce and a packed vacation schedule coming up, it meant we needed to take this opportunity to clear out that refrigerator! I decided to use up…
Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti Squash is an amazing vegetable. It’s nature’s way of telling us to play with our food and to eat less processed grains. The first time I made it, I couldn’t believe how fun it was! It feels like magic – I didn’t believe it was true until I saw it for myself. In addition…
Tomato Cucumber Salad with Sauteed Kale
I am loving meals full of veggies in this brutal heat. Who feels like turning on the oven when it is 95 degrees in New York City? Especially when you don’t have air conditioning and your kitchen is like a sauna? This heat wave has got me craving watery vegetables and cold salads. For dinner…
