Plantsgiving: Vegan Root Vegetable Mash

It’s finally here! Today’s the day when Kelly and I are sharing our full PLANTSGIVING menu! All week we’ve been sharing some of the recipes, and now it’s time for our showstoppers. I’ve been incredibly excited to tell you all about our dinner. The entire meal was plant-based (vegan) and gluten-free. I’m still dreaming about it two weeks later. Kelly’s Hearty Butternut Walnut Loaf was the main attraction with my Vegan Root Vegetable Mash playing an important supporting […]

Brown Rice Dressing with Cherries and Pecans

Last year, or maybe the year before, around Thanksgiving and I threw together a quick pilaf-type rice dish out of some leftover odds and ends I had hanging around. We LOVED it. My family eats rice almost on a daily basis, so including it for a Thanksgiving menu would not be unnatural. But we’d never done it before. After making my recipe and tweaking it a little here and there, I eventually ended up as this savory, […]

Shaved Fennel Asian Pear Salad with Pomegranate and Watercress

Oh my goodness! What can I say about this festive Shaved Fennel Asian Pear Salad with Pomegranate and Watercress? It’s such a mouthful of a title for such a simple salad. Just a few seasonal ingredients that are magical when combined. I actually posted this recipe several years ago and it was high time I revisited it. I’d forgotten just how much I love the array of colors, flavors, and textures. What can I say? […]

Gluten-Free Onion Rings with Pumpkin Sage Aioli

Way back in the summer, which feels like ages ago now (ha!), I made some gluten-free onion rings one night to go along with our dinner. I don’t normally do a lot of deep frying, so it’s pretty unusual for me to have a pan full of hot oil. I think we were making falafel that night, and so I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity. I know onion rings may seem like something […]

Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup

It’s officially Soup Season again, folks! And I am cheering! The other day I was thinking about how excited I am to get through the month of September because I LOVE OCTOBER. But then I thought, “Well, September isn’t so bad either.” The truth is, I just love autumn. The past few days it’s been extra chilly after weeks and weeks of intense dry heat. It rained for the first time in forever and I […]

Blood Orange Asparagus Salad with Ginger Miso Dressing 

Well, we’ve already gone through several pounds of asparagus in the past few days. I really resisted the urge to jump up and down when I saw fresh asparagus at the grocery store last week. It was like seeing a long, lost friend. Sure, asparagus might be available year round in some places, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to taste good. No, spring is the really the only time to really enjoy asparagus. The stalks […]

Cauliflower Couscous Salad

I love the month of March. It means spring is on its way, though the winter here in Boise was not too bad. It means my birthday is around the corner and I’m trying really hard not to think about getting older, but hoping I’m getting wiser. Ha! I’m excited to see my lawn turning green and buds starting to form on the branches of the trees in our yard. Spring makes me smile. This […]
