Healthy Breakfast Cookies | CafeJohnsonia.com

These healthy Breakfast Cookies are a powerhouse combo of whole grains, sweet and fiber-rich apples, and nut butter for a wholesome, filling grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Back in October, I went on a little road trip with my friend Kelly. We drove from where I live in Boise, Idaho up to Washington to visit some of the SuperFresh Growers’ apple orchards. We specifically visited one of the Granny Smith orchards and the next day we […]

It’s based on a recipe for white fish my husband grew up eating, but with the addition of quintessential Spanish paprika and olives.

Tembleque de Coco with Mandarin Oranges and Pomegranate | CafeJohnsonia.com

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 long time before I stopped eating dairy. We’ve had a lot of sickness at our house the last two weeks, […]

Winter Cauliflower Rice Bowl

Wintery Cauliflower Rice Bowl with Roasted Butternut Squash, White Beans, Baby Kale, and Cranberry-Mustard Sauce

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 with Chipotle anyway?” And now I’m all about those burrito bowls! After awhile, I finally started recreating those bowls at […]

Pumpkin Red Lentil Chili with Black Beans and Sweet Potatoes

This Vegan Pumpkin Black Bean and Lentil Chili is both filling and nourishing. Cook up a big pot to enjoy by the bowl full on a cold day or use in other favorite ways – over a baked potato, with nachos, as a base for tamale pie, or for game day eats. Ah, chili. Its popularity is not going away. I think I’ve made dozens of varieties of chili over the past 20 years. And […]

Well, here it is, the first recipe of 2017, Antipasto Vegan Pasta Salad. (It’s also gluten-free!) Truth be told, I didn’t post nearly as many recipes as I wanted to last year. Life was busier than I expected and a lot of things fell to the wayside. I’ve been craving being in my own little corner of the Internet again so I can share what I’m cooking with you. (By the way, if you’re reading this, […]
