Friends, I seem to have a thing for crazy veggie burgers! I was inspired by a local restaurant to make this pineapple jalapeno teriyaki veggie burger, and it is a treat!
I recently learned something new. Nutritional yeast is high in protein! I have always used it to add flavor to veggie burgers and other vegetarian dishes, but never realized that it was adding 8 grams of protein per tablespoon as well. Continue reading
When I want to create a new recipe, and I want it to be a hit for my family, tacos are the way to go. These teriyaki mushroom tacos are super flavorful, made with a homemade teriyaki sauce and sriracha mayo!
My husband thinks that tacos are a food group. I can’t disagree, tacos are pretty much the most awesome way to devour some deliciousness. The tortilla should have an award for being the best food delivery service. Continue reading

Sometimes you see a recipe that is so intriguing and different, that you just have to try it! That was me when I saw a recipe for Burmese ginger salad. I put my own twists on it and called my version a Burmese pickled ginger and fried garlic salad!
The dressing on this salad is made with fish sauce, and it is really the star of this dish! I primarily eat vegetarian, so sorry to my vegetarian readers, but this recipe was just not the same without the fish sauce! Continue reading

It’s redux time again! This month’s theme was: Grab your nearest cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 201, 17, 217 – or any combination of the number ‘2017.’ I chose to redux Chinese Mustard Baked Tofu Sandwiches from the Moosewood cookbook.
I don’t have a large collection of cookbooks, but I do love the moosewood cookbook. The recipe I chose was from page 120 for a grilled Chinese mustard sandwich with sauted peppers and onions. Continue reading

Have you ever bought baked tofu at the store? It’s a handy product that is seasoned, cooked, and ready to throw into any dish. When I was first transitioning from being an omnivore to vegetarian, I found that I loved tofu! This is not the case for most people, they find the texture off-putting, so yes, I know I’m weird. I started experimenting with all kinds of ways to enjoy tofu (including this smoked tofu recipe). This homemade teriyaki baked tofu makes weeknight dinners even faster! Continue reading

Have you guys tried chinese 5-spice powder yet? It’s been a popular up-and-coming spice for a while now, and I’m just now getting on board. Chinese five-spice is a blend of Szechwan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel. It has a wonderfully warming characteristic that pairs perfectly with other Asian flavors, such as ginger, and is not spicy. My five spice shrimp tacos with rhubarb ginger sauce are an amazing twist between Asian and Mexican cuisines! Continue reading
I’m not really a side dish person. I love to cook. It’s a great release at the end of the day to come home and find my rhythm in the kitchen. However, I find it most enjoyable when there are fewer pieces of the puzzle to keep track of. Side dishes don’t fit that routine well, therefore I tend to make and eat a single thing every night. These Asian cabbage baked egg rolls with tempeh fit that theme perfectly. Continue reading
