I love a good trail mix. I’m a chronically hungry person, so trail mix is my friend. I keep nuts and dried fruits available at my work desk and in our cabinets almost always (and not to mention my purse!) For a quick jolt of energy and calories when I’m in a pinch. I was…

Peanut Sauce Tofu
It’s been a crazy work week for me, and hubs has so kindly taken over dinner duties the past few days. So I’m proud to say that this is a guest post from my boo – he chose the dish, he cooked it, he photographed it, without any input from me! I think this blog…
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…
Chik’n Tikka Masala
I used to love tikka masala sauce in my vegetarian days. Hubs would have chicken tikka and I would have veggies simmered in this delicious spicy and creamy sauce. I really miss being able to just open a jar from the cabinet and blast everything in the skillet with flavor. I’ve been putting off making…
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…
Vegetable Paella
Paella is a Spanish dish that is typically made with rice, saffron, and a mix of seafood and meats, and is cooked in a very large shallow pan over low heat for a long time (slow and low). To me, that translates to: a complicated undertaking that requires a special pan and a lot of…
Vegan Sushi
I tried to make sushi for the first time and I was amazed. It was so easy! I have a Japanese food store right near my office so I was able to easily pick up a bamboo mat and some nori sheets on my way home from work. If you don’t have a Japanese food…
Vegetable Fried Rice
Who needs take-out when you can make delicious and healthy vegetable fried rice at home, complete with an egg substitute that makes it feel like it’s real Chinese-restaurant-fried rice from a carton!? This would be a great dish to make in bulk and keep to reheat for lunches all week. It has great sources of…
Slow Cooker Cauliflower and Potato Curry
Tired of slow cooker recipes yet? Nope, me neither! This one was from Half Baked Harvest and if you like curry flavor, it’s absolutely delicious. I splurged for all the garnishes for this one (a rare occurrence!), and it made a huge impact on the flavor of the dish. The coconut milk + red curry paste sauce…
Sausage Bake
Sausage Bake was a staple casserole dinner in my household when I was a kid. We must have had it once a week for a good few years, most likely because it was cheap and convenient for my mom to prep ahead and put in the oven on time bake. During our middle school and…
