Last week I roasted and filled red bell peppers and was reminded how fun and easy and it is to make stuffed foods. It inspired me to make these pea ricotta stuffed shells with a red wine marinara not even a week later! Like lasagna or other noodle-based casseroles, the shells are great hot out of the oven …

Are you a sweet or savory breakfast person? I can go either way, but these days most of my breakfasts are savory. Typically I have toast, as I’m always baking bread. But sometimes you need to switch it up, and these vegan eggy bacon and chive muffins are perfect for that. They are easy to make and …
Caramelized onions, crumbled veggie burger, fresh basil, and delicious creamy vodka sauce. That is all it takes to make this delicious pizza. Vodka sauce is my new favorite pizza base, made creamy with cashews and a little cheesy with vegan parm or nutritional yeast. After simmering for a half hour on the stove the flavors blend together to create perfection, …
These cookies are so freaking good. Coconutty with hints of almond. A great chewy but delicate, melt-in-your mouth texture. The perfect level of sweetness. And dipped chocolatey perfection. A little trip to paradise with each cookie. They are accidentally gluten free, and magically vegan. Well, it’s not really magic. It just required a secret ingredient… A …
This Indian curry is so good it’s going to make you want to buy extra kale every week. You would never guess while eating it, but the spiced kofta hides an entire huge bunch of curly kale in it!

I certainly fell under this impression, and didn’t try to make them for years after I moved into my post-college kitchen (… I mean, apartment). The funny thing is, I would make smothered burritos, which …
My husband doesn’t love peanut butter (crazy, I know). He’s alright with peanut stir fry sauces but they’re not his first choice. So, I figured I’d try something different at dinner one night. We had some almond butter in the pantry left over from a delicious chocolate ganache tart, so I figured I’d swap out …
I rarely repeat recipes. It’s not that I don’t like to eat the same things over and over again, because I do. But there are too many new dishes to try, not enough meals in a day, days in a year. And I love eating leftovers, so typically cook in quantities that last us for lunches for a …
2016 was a big year for me. I got married to the best person, quit my job, went on a month long honeymoon-adventure road tripping across South Africa and Namibia (clocking in around 4,000 miles), came back, sold our home in Chicago, packed up and downsized our things (because, omg, the rent here), put our dog and …
