Fill a plate with this colorful Sorghum Vegetable Salad tossed with a spicy Cumin-Lime Vinaigrette – it’s vegan, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious!

These Coconut Quinoa Bowls will have your tastebuds rocking out. Topped with tender-crisp roasted broccoli and yummy tahini sauce for a delicious, healthy meal. Hallelujah, it’s February! That means we’re almost through the harshest part of winter. Spring is on the horizon! February can be a little sparse produce-wise, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t […]
This recipe for Spiced Tembleque de Coco is perfection with the tart, juicy burst from the pomegranate arils and mandarin oranges. I’ve fallen completely in love with coconut milk. I loved it enough before, but now it’s official. This Tembleque de Coco sealed the deal. I bookmarked this recipe in Joy of Cooking a […]
Comforting, nourishing, and healthy as can be, this Winter Cauliflower Rice Bowl is full of mouthwatering flavors, textures, and seasonal ingredients. Over the past year or so, I’ve become the hugest fan of “bowls.” I think it all kind of started with my love affair with Chipotle. I used to be like, “What’s the deal […]

Back then CJ was called Just Recipes. That was a very long time ago in blog years! The idea for the brownies came from my […]
As I know is true for many home cooks, the holidays are a favorite time of year. I learned how to make homemade candy and other treats by watching my mom and scouring her cookbooks and handwritten recipe cards. It wasn’t until I was older that I attempted to make candy without supervision. Ha! But […]
This year I finally got to meet my dear friend, Kelly Pfeiffer, in person. She’s the brilliant and talented cook and photographer behind the Nosh and Nourish blog. She’s also the author of two books.
