I spend my summers at home so, I get the opportunity to cook for lunch. However, it’s not feasible every-single-day. Therefore lunches that just need assembly are a great option, like these tahini lentil kale wraps.
A few years ago I made these marinated tempeh wraps on repeat. This summer I feel a lentil wrap phenomenon coming over me because these wraps are just as delicious as they are easy. Continue reading

About a month ago, I posted a recipe for tomato panzanella salad that I have been so in love with so I wanted to share a pescatarian version as well. This shrimp panzanella salad recipe is not very different, but a little more filling thanks to the addition of some protein.
What makes panzanella salad so great? For me, it’s the bread! A high quality bread is a must and I use a homemade sourdough. In addition, the bread is lightly toasted so that it is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Continue reading

Panzanella is a rustic Italian style salad that uses stale bread and tomato. From there, many variations to this classic recipe can be found.
When researching this recipe, I found that no two recipes look alike. They all vary based on the bread to tomato ratio, if cheese is used, what other vegetables are used, and even the type of dressing. Continue reading

During summer, I don’t like to use the oven or do too much serious cooking that will heat up the house. I eat a ton of salads during summer, but sometimes you just want something a little more substantial, but still light and refreshing. This Asian noodle stir fry salad hits all those points.

If you love to make glazed salmon, then you will love these miso glazed salmon burgers. The glaze could easily be used on salmon fillets, but sometimes I am just craving a burger. These burgers are juicy and full of umami.
Topping these burgers with lettuce and tomato just would not do for me. I chose to top my burgers with cucumber slices and alfalfa sprouts. Continue reading
I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone, school starts in only a few weeks! I had to share these smoked tofu summer rolls before summer is over. They are a fresh, light meal that can be easily made without heating up your kitchen!
I like to use the smoked tofu in my summer rolls because it is already cooked. You could probably use “raw” tofu straight out of the package, but the smoked tofu has better texture and it adds more flavor. Continue reading

The first time I tried to make sushi with short grained brown rice, the rolls completely fell apart. I ended up eating the recipe as a sushi bowl, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, so I developed this imitation crab sushi bowls recipe.
I really love sushi rolls, and I do make them at home. You can see an oooold sushi recipe post here. One of the first on the blog, I had so much to learn back then! Continue reading

When I first stared to eat more plant-based meals, I can across a recipe (now long lost) that marindaded and fried chickpeas. It is such a simple process that completely transforms the humble chickpea. Here I use a gyro inspired marinade to make fried chickpea gyro salad.
I have posted a very similar recipe before, my fried chickpea gyro bowls, made with a base of rice, chopped vegetables, and tzatziki sauce. While I love grain bowls, I was craving a salad this time, so I adapted the recipe. Continue reading

Friends, it has been a very busy summer for me, and I hope you all have a summer full of great recipes so far. This recipe, Greek chickpea salad, is one that I have been eating a lot this summer.
This salad is very easy to make. It requires a little bit of time to chop all the vegetables, but it is totally worth it. The flavor of all the vegetables go together perfectly, and the dressing is the icing on the cake! Continue reading
