When I first tried this creamy cashew wild rice soup with mushrooms, I was blown away! I could not believe that the soup I was eating was dairy free and vegan.
The blended cashews in this soup add more than creaminess, they also add nuttiness that pairs perfectly with wild rice and mushrooms. Continue reading

Who else thinks that pasta is comfort food? I can eat pasta all day, and this miso butternut squash and spinach spaghetti pie hits the top of the list! Why? This recipe has a few things that other pasta bakes do not.
A spaghetti pie is unique because it is bound together by egg, just enough that the strands stick together making cutable wedges. Most bakes fall part upon serving, or have loads of cheese holding them together. Continue reading

I am a huge fan of vegetable soups, especially when the weather turns cold. This winter, I wanted to switch things up from my classic vegetable soup, so I made a vegetable barley soup instead!
Basically, I took my classic vegetable soup recipe and merged it with my mushroom barley stew recipe (old, old recipe!). I omitted the corn from the veggie soup and let barley more than take its place. Continue reading

How often do you make sheet pan recipes? I’ll be honest, I don’t use this fast and easy cooking method as often as I should! This sheet pan tofu and broccoli recipe comes with peanut dipping sauce, and only requires one sheet pan to make!
Clean up is a breeze when it comes to sheet pan recipes. I like using parchment paper as well, making clean up even easier. Continue reading

Is everyone else enjoying the fall weather? I’m still adjusting to the cold this season, and a warm bowl of soup sure does help! This vegetarian black bean soup is hearty and full of protein, perfect for cold nights.
My favorite thing to do with this soup is to spice it up! I serve mine with an extra dash of hot sauce and fresh jalapenos. Continue reading

Today we are taking a short trip around to the word with a Japanese recipe, onigiri. My take on onigiri includes smoked tofu and brown rice, with a delicious miso sauce for dipping! What is onigiri exactly? Well, let me explain!
Onigiri are Japanese rice balls that are traditionally eaten as a snack or taken on-the-go for an easy lunch. They are filled with various kinds of fillings, usually fish or briny vegetables like pickled plum or kelp. Continue reading

I have a secret to share. I was obsessed with these fried portabella poboy sandwiches so much that I got sick of eating them. They were so good that I just made them over and over and over again.
That was in spring, and now that all the summer produce is starting to wane, some fried comfort food sounds pretty good again. Continue reading

Fall is finally in full swing, and that always puts me in the mood for comfort food like mac and cheese. I didn’t want to compromise when I made my version, so you won’t find extra things like squash in this healthy-ish stove top mac and cheese.
Don’t get me wrong. I love a good butternut squash cheese sauce, but when you want the real deal, nothing else will do. Continue reading

Bowl meals come by many names, Buddah bowls, power bowls, nourish bowls, grain bowls, etc., and are just about the easiest thing to make. You just toss everything into a bowl! The ratio of ingredients is what I like best about bowl meals, including this sweet potato kale quinoa bowl.
This bowl is not a kale salad, and it is not a quinoa salad either. It is truely a bowl meal that is balanced with grains and proteins, fresh vegetables and cooked vegetables, as well as crunchy and soft textures. Continue reading

I am not the only one in my family that likes to cook. Many, many moons ago, I shared a lemon caper dressing recipe with my family that was a hit. Not long after, this creamy smoked tofu and olive pasta salad recipe, using my dressing, was shared with me.
I don’t believe I would have ever google searched for a pasta salad like this one; the mix of ingredients seams random, but I promise you it is not. The combination of flavors is specific and on point. Continue reading
