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

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, […]

Thai Coconut Salmon Salad from Superfood Weeknight Meals

Rustic Autumn Glory Apple Galette

November 14, 2016 7 Comments

For a long time, I said that Honeycrisp apples were my very favorite. And then I had an Autumn Glory apple. Then I had another. And another. And another. And then I couldn’t stop eating them. You might be saying, “Autumn Glory? Never heard of them.” That’s because they are a new-ish variety of apple – a cross between Fuji and Golden Delicious apples, two other favorite varieties of mine. Have you ever had an […]
