Whip up a healthy dinner – this vegan risotto with lemon and asparagus is flavorful and easy to make. Last week I learned how to make asparagus risotto. I have made risotto before, but I was never quite sure I was doing it correctly. Watching cooking shows and reading cookbooks helped, but not as much […]

Slow Cooker Red Lentil Dal Recipe
It’s no secret among people who know me that my very favorite cuisine in the world is Indian, with Thai being a close second, and Mexican coming in third. I will always and forever love Indian food. I could pretty much eat it every day (I almost do in some form or another) and never […]
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
As you know. there are SO many chocolate chip cookie recipes out there. And to those, I add what my family and I think is best gluten-free chocolate chip recipe ever. Now, I don’t say that lightly.

Vegetarian Chili with Cilantro-Lime Cashew Sour Cream
On Tuesday morning I was feeling particularly stressed out about all of the things I needed to accomplish this week. It’s been such a long week. I’m still behind on some freelance projects I’ve got going on. In the midst of all of this work stuff, I managed to completely forgot it was my son’s […]

Avocado, Citrus, Red Pepper and Cucumber Salad with Ginger and Lemongrass Dressing
Something I’ve been trying to do the last little while is sit down and enjoy my meals. I’m busy. (You are too.) And I find myself grabbing something quick (and sometimes not that healthy) on the run or between camera shots or errands or picking up kids from school. It’s paaaainful to sit down and […]
Recipe for Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
Meyer lemons are the hybrid of mandarin oranges and true lemons. Also, they are my favorite citrus fruit. I look forward to these sweet lemons all year long and buy them almost by the bushel. They make the best lemon curd ice cream. Really good (and slightly extravagant) lemonade. And the base for my favorite […]
Vegan Red Lentil Soup with Lemon and Cumin
This soup….this soup is my favorite lentil soup. I almost can’t come up with the words to describe how much I love this soup. I’ve made it several times in the past few weeks because it is simply that good. And it’s simple to make. Basically, it’s one of those toss everything into the pot […]
Vegan Peach Pecan Breakfast Smoothie
{Becky and I are sharing breakfast smoothie recipes this month. Be sure to check out her Grapefruit Pear Green Smoothie.} I have had every intention to keep juicing, but I grew tired of cleaning my juicer. Not because it is difficult to clean, but because my sink is usually full of dishes and I have […]
