I’ve been on a summer salad kick recently (see here, here, and here). Maybe it’s the dwindling days of the season that are inspiring me to eat all of the delicious foods traditionally associated with summer. It’s gotten a bit cooler in NYC this week and it feels like a bit of a relief, but…

Chickpea Avocado Salad
A great vegan lunch option is this chickpea avocado salad. It’s delicious on a sandwich or on top of mixed greens. It’s got lots of healthy fats that will keep you feeling fuller longer. So for anyone like me that gets hungry every hour at work, it’s a good packed lunch because it leaves me…
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…

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…
Chickpea Curry and Greens
I imagine many vegans would profess that chickpeas are one of the most important foods in their diets. If you consider hummus, chickpeas, and aquafaba (the liquid from the can – look it up, trust me), chickpeas are in a lot of vegan meals, snacks, and desserts. I’m a big fan of chickpeas baked into a…
Taco Stuffed Peppers
Today was the longest commute of my life, or so it felt anyway. While it normally takes me under an hour to get home, today it took me nearly one hour and forty-five minutes from door to door. As you can imagine, at this witching hour I was totally famished while walking the four blocks…
Zucchini Pancakes with Salad
Today I had an absurdly enormous lunch at work because I participated in a tasting for the upcoming fundraiser I’m planning. I do not exaggerate when I tell you that I ate six hors d’oeuvres, two salads, two main courses, and four petit fours desserts, along with two glasses of wine. Needless to say, a…
