Napa Cabbage Veggie Stir Fry
I am very excited to share this recipe with you. It looks like an unassuming, humble veggie stir fry though it is anything but. The spicy sweetness of the sauce is completely unexpected, and the whole dish has a savory full flavor that is almost addicting. The ingredients can be fairly flexible, depending on what […]
Chao Stuffed Italian Burgers with Zucchini Fries
One of the things I enjoy doing the most each week is sitting down and planning menus for the following week. I print out the list of fruits and veggies I am going to receive in my produce box, take inventory of what I need to use out of the refrigerator and pantry, grab a […]
Kebab Halla with Rustic Zucchini Tian {Seitan}
I received zucchini and summer squash in my produce box once again, for what seems like the millionth time. I’m not complaining, really… I just am having to start cooking outside my comfort zone in order to keep things new and interesting. I have never cooked or even tasted Egyptian food before, but when I […]
Garganelli with Broccoli Rabe, Red Pepper and Spring Garlic
More homemade pasta? Absolutely! This one is incredibly fun to make and absolutely delicious. The shape of garganelli pasta is very impressive when made by hand. In fact you may want to make sure that anyone you are cooking for actually sees you making it, otherwise they may not believe that you made it yourself. […]
Tandoori Tofu
I’m not sure if I love Indian food because I am obsessed with cumin, or if I love cumin because I am obsessed with Indian food… I might never figure out the answer, so I’ll give you my most recent tofu recipe instead. Speaking of being obsessed, I admit that I might be a little […]
Zucchini Taco Boats {Tofu Taco Filling, Gluten Free}
Zucchini is a vegetable that I often find challenging. I always end up making the same old things (zucchini bread or muffins, sautéed in a bit of olive oil or added to a stir fry). Zucchini season seems to drag on each year though, and it is way too easy to get tired of the […]
“These can’t be Vegan!” Hamburger Patties
Veggie burgers are a food item that can be filled with promise, and sometimes (often) end in tears of disappointment. They are rather like a doomed love affair. Most of the vegan burgers I have tried looked delicious on the package, but did not quite make the cut. With the exception of Field Roast’s new […]
Easy Spinach and Cheese Lasagna with Homemade Noodles {vegan, tofu ricotta}
Lasagna seems like such a complicated dish when one considers all the boiling of noodles, layering of ingredients, etc. The problem is, I really love lasagna. I am a really busy mother of a toddler though, so it was absolutely essential that I find a way to make a healthy, homemade lasagna that doesn’t take […]
Crispy Tofu Tacos with Honey Lime Slaw
Tofu is such a versatile food! Every time I think that I have discovered everything there is to make with it I find a bunch of new ideas. Most recently, I discovered that it works marvelously well as a stand-in for fish. Its soft, but firm consistency works well in almost any recipe that traditionally […]
Slow Cooker Hearty Leek and Potato Soup
The weather is so gorgeous today! I am beginning to think that comforting slow-cooker soups might be just about “out of season”. This is Colorado though, so I am not going to hold my breath yet. It is very possible that it could be 80 degrees today and snowing tomorrow. I love the flavor of […]
