delicious seasonal eats
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 […]
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 […]
One of my favorite things to do is develop new smoothie recipes, especially if they are green smoothies. I work closely with one of my favorite companies, Simple Green Smoothies, on recipe development as well as photos and videos. So on any given day, you’ll find my fridge full of various leafy greens and a […]
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 […]
There’s a bit of story and history behind these Gluten-Free Peppermint Bark Brownies… I first made Peppermint Bark Brownies way back in 2006 in the early days of Cafe Johnsonia. 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 […]
This toffee recipe is made with real butter, maple syrup, and pecans for an irresistible salty-sweet treat. 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 […]
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. Her second book, Superfood Weeknight Meals, just came out a few days ago. And it’s just as fantastic as her first […]
This Persimmon Ice Cream starts with slow roasted persimmons. No sugar added, 100% fruit-sweetened. Last year I took the plunge and decided to finally try persimmons. I had bought them many times but they were only used for decoration, or sat on my counter while I tried to decide what to do with them. And […]
