If you’re a fan of pesto you’ll love this Farfalle with Hemp Seed Pesto. It is one of those perfect spring-summer dishes for when you are ready to start veering away from heavier winter foods and “spring” into lighter dishes.
This Quinoa, Egg + Arugula Bowl has some of my favorite flavors ~ radish, arugula and shallot, served over quinoa with a jammy soft-boiled egg, vegan feta cheese, and a lemony toasted cumin vinaigrette.
What goes better with almond butter than chocolate? Correct answer: not much! So these Crispy Almond Butter Cups are now my new favorite healthy dessert.
This Moroccan Carrot Salad with Harissa Vinaigrette is a little sweet, a little spicy, and packed with flavor. It’s the perfect dish to serve as part of a meze-style spread with couscous, olives, smoked eggplant, kebabs, dips and pita bread.
These no-bake Carrot Cake Bites have most of the things traditional carrot cake has ~ carrots, warm baking spices, raisins, nuts and cream cheese frosting. But these are flourless, gluten-free and vegan.
PSA, amigos: Mexican food can be healthy! Sharing my healthy “fresh Mex” tips here and a recipe for plant-based Green Chile Enchiladas with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans and homemade salsa verde.
This Charred Tomatillo Salsa Verde is the answer to all of your questions… What should I put on my tacos? What sauce would be good on these enchiladas? I’m tired of plain eggs, how can I spice ‘em up?
Charred Tomatillo Salsa Verde is good for all of these, and more!
These vegan Magic Bars have all the things the traditional recipe has ~ yummy chocolate, toasted coconut and pecans, but without any unhealthy ingredients.
Magic Bars make a great healthy dessert, after school snack for the kids, and are also great to take to a party or gathering.
Warm Roasted Cauliflower with Lentils + Tahini is hearty enough for a meatless main, but also makes a good side dish on your table. It’s packed with flavor and texture, and has both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors with tahini, almonds and herbs.
Almost everyone loves Caesar, but the whole anchovy and raw egg thing is debatable for some. Luckily, this Mexican Kale Caesar with Lime Caesar Dressing has all the flavor of a traditional caesar, but is sans anchovies or egg. In fact, it is 100% vegan!
