This is fast becoming one of my favourite pasta dishes (and you know how many I have!). Not only for its simplicity, but it’s got such a lovely, light and vibrant flavour. I think you’re going to love it 😊 Follow me… Asparagus Pancetta Pasta Like all good things in life, this dish starts by rendering down the fat of some pancetta. This process not only helps the pancetta crisp up, but the excess fat adds loads of flavour AND is perfect for frying the asparagus....
Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for my cold asparagus salad, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Salad: Asparagus – The star of the show! I prefer thin to medium asparagus spears for salads, as they are sweeter, and luckily this thickness is more common in the spring anyway. Thick ones can work too, though. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces, so that they are bite-sized for your asparagus salad....
Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for shrimp wrapped in bacon, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Shrimp – Make sure they are peeled and deveined, but leave the tails on if you can. I used extra large shrimp (26-30 per pound), but large shrimp (31-35) or jumbo shrimp (21-25) would also work. You’d need to adjust the number of bacon slices depending on how many shrimp you use....

Deciding what to make for breakfast every day, especially something that’s healthy, tasty, quick, and easy, is really tough. It becomes even more challenging if you are a vegan or vegetarian. Today, I am sharing an easy breakfast recipe from India called Besan chilla or besan cheela. In some regions of India it’s also called besan pudla. Because of the way it looks, people also call it a vegan omelette....
What Makes This Recipe So Good When I tell you this blueberry compote is good, I don’t just mean it’s good. I mean it’s SO. GOOD. IT’S SO GOOD! I love it SO much. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and fruity and thick and rich. I’m not joking when I tell you we have a jar of this compote in the fridge at. all. times.

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for oven roasted buttercup squash, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Basic Ingredients: Buttercup Squash – This winter squash looks a lot like a kabocha squash in size and color, but often has a little ridge at one end, similar to a turban squash. Sometimes it doesn’t have this ridge. Peak season starts in late summer or early fall and continues through the winter, so you’ll be able to find them at your local farmers’ market or grocery store during those times....
Try it on chicken or shrimp for a simple meat marinade, roasted veggies (or air fryer vegetables), or use as a dip for your veggie tray.

Stir-fries are where it’s at when it comes to quick and easy vegan dinners. While I’m a big fan of the classic tofu stir-fry, I have another favorite that’s actually simpler to make: tempeh stir-fry! Why Tempeh? Tempeh is not only a great way to switch things up if you’re in the habit of cooking with tofu all the time, but it’s actually easier to work with than tofu! Whereas tofu generally requires pressing and can be a little tricky to cook up, tempeh can go right from the package and into your skillet....
If you’ve had any of my cauliflower recipes, you know that I’m a big fan of roasting cauliflower before using it in recipes. I love the extra flavor that roasting creates without adding much extra work. But if you’re looking for cauliflower soup recipes that don’t require roasting, try my cheesy cauliflower soup instead! Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for roasted cauliflower soup, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options....
Just like cabbage steaks, these are called “steaks” because of how they are cut, and there are two ways I cook them — roasted cauliflower steaks or grilled cauliflower steaks. Either way, you’ll end up with those irresistible caramelized edges and a world of seasoning possibilities. Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for my cauliflower steak recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card....
This cherry tomato pasta with shrimp is light with the freshness of cherry tomatoes and basil. Sweet and slightly tart cherry tomato makes a delicious sauce without adding cream or cheese. This pasta recipe takes me back to Venice. I can still remember the freshness of the pasta. No fancy stuff; you could taste the fresh tomatoes, shrimp, and fresh hand-rolled pasta. I wanted to recreate the dish for a long time....

Recreating classic comfort foods in a healthier ways is sort of a game for me. Is it possible? Will it be just as satisfying? Is it good enough to “trick” my friends and family? These are the questions that I consider when creating these classics with a healthy twist… like cauliflower baked ziti, keto shepherd’s pie, and lasagna stuffed peppers. I think I found a winner this time! What Is Chicken Pot Pie Soup?...
Why You’ll Love It Chilaquiles is essentially a tortilla and salsa casserole, making use of ideally stale tortillas and whatever-else-is-on-hand. We saved a bit of the Crockpot chicken taco meat and threw it in the chilaquiles batch, along with about 2/3 of a can of garbanzo beans, because, well, that’s what we had on hand. We’ve used pinto beans, veggies, you name it. It’s a pretty sturdy everything-but-the-kitchen-sink recipe, an excellent way to use up what you might waste in a most delicious recipe....
Simple mushroom barley soup is one of my own personal favorite comfort foods. I shared a recipe for creamy vegan mushroom barley soup a few years back, and while I love that soup, sometimes I find myself craving a simplified version. This one is just as hearty and delicious as the creamy version, but it’s brothy and not as rich. It’s also quite a bit easier to make! This particular version is adapted from an old family recipe that I used to have jotted down on an index card....
