Looking for some vegetable forward recipes that everyone will love? Our miso sweet potatoes are a hit for everyone. Kalua pig stuffed sweet potatoes will satisfy the the heartiest eaters. For the perfect and easy dinner, butternut squash soup is our favorite.
Looking for a light summer salad? This Puerto Rican bean salad is for you! Recently, we had a potluck baby shower at my office and I had no idea what to make. I always get nervous about what to cook for a group. I usually don't want to bring a dessert and I really try...
Looking for the most perfect salad? My spinach, strawberry salad topped with sliced steak and a sprinkling of goat cheese is pure perfection. This salad is barely a recipe but enough to share for a few of reasons.
This curried carrot soup has been on constant rotation since I started the Whole 30. I am not used to eating meat at every meal so I have been making an effort to make meals that are not so meat based to eat. This soup fits the bill--it is warm and comforting and really very...
This recipe comes from my favorite vegan cookbook, Veganomicon but I revised it a bit to be Whole 30 and Paleo compliant. Eggplant Moussaka or Vegan Lasagna (as I call it around here) has been in rotation in our home since the recipe crossed my path, many years ago. I made it for a dinner...
I think there should be some sort of lesson given to that explains the HUGE benefits of using sauces when cooking. True Food Kitchen, one of my favorite restaurants, takes a bowl of quinoa, sweet potatoes and grilled chicken and elevates it with the addition of cilantro pumpkin seed pesto. Just a simple addition of...
These giant oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a great way to get your holiday baking started. I bake them year-round but make extra batches during the holidays. Happy National Cookie Day! Maybe it should be National Cookie Month---it seems that is all we are making, eating and thinking about over here. These giant oatmeal chocolate chip...
One of my favorite restaurants, The True Food Kitchen, has an amazing bowl on their menu that is filled with miso-glazed sweet potatoes among other goodness. I knew I had to re-create these at home because the restaurant is over two hours from my house. I have tested this recipe now four times and have...
Wasabi mashed potatoes are on our Thanksgiving table every year. I find that regular mashed potatoes are just slightly boring (especially without gravy) and I really like the extra spice and depth of flavor that comes from adding a bit of wasabi. I once brought these to an office party and they were thoroughly enjoyed...
It has been raining all weekend. Not just little Seattle sprinkles but full on downpour--our yard is flooded, the dogs don't want to go outside, and neither do I. I just want to sit inside and eat toast---specifically toast smeared with herbed goat cheese and topped with fresh tomatoes. I was actually really sad...
During my Whole 30, I ate a lot of sweet potatoes. I would bake a few at a time so that I always had them ready to go whenever the mood hit me. They were the only thing that would really tide me over when I was hoping for real carbs. Sweet potatoes are...
I really do love soup but I realized that I don't really make it very often. It could have something to do with living in Florida and having beautiful weather most of the time. Soup season is just so short. While those of you up north are pulling out your winter coats and scarves and...
