Somehow, without intending, I’ve started working my way through the process of veganizing all of the restaurant dishes I served people while I was in college. Maybe not all of them. I’ve yet to figure out how to veganize prime rib, and yes, I served lots of prime rib back then, even though I was a vegetarian. The idea behind scampi is pretty simple: garlic, butter, lemon and white wine sauce....
What Makes This Recipe So Good Scrambled eggs may sound a little basic, but add a touch of truffle oil, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and a dash of sea salt? Instant gourmet, restaurant-quality, elevated scrambled eggs that will impress anyone and everyone. I used to make these for my husband early in our relationship and he was convinced I needed to open a breakfast restaurant just based on this one dish....
What Makes This Recipe So Good Udon soup is incredibly simple, but incredibly delicious. It’s as easy as cooking the noodles then boiling the broth ingredients before adding everything together.This recipe is inspired by udon soup you might find at your favorite Japanese restaurant. It’s not necessarily a traditional Japanese soup recipe. The nice thing about making it at home (other that not having to leave the house) is you can really customize it to your preferences....
Chocolate is my love language. I’m a firm believer that it makes nearly everything better. If it can possibly be added to a recipe, it should be added. My vegan banana bread is one of my most popular recipes on this site, so I got to thinking, could I add chocolate to it? I certainly could. And so I did, and my vegan chocolate banana bread turned out to be my new favorite sweet treat....
But that was before I tasted it. Holy moly, this was one of the best cakes I’d ever had. Maybe I had just never had a really good lemon cake before. This cake, my friends, was all things good: tender, flavorful, and just sweet enough. And best of all, because it’s a simple bundt cake, it was pretty fuss-free. Yay! Non-dairy milk. Just about any variety that’s unflavored and unsweetened will work....
Yeah.. I know. I haven’t been posting at all. Like hardly at all, but there’s a reason for that, promise. No, I don’t have some cookbook coming out, and I’m not perfecting my smeyes (smiling.. with your eyes, thanks Tyra) for my upcoming Food Network gig. No, I’m.. dun, dun, dun, tying the knot! O and I are making it official in under 25 days now, and then following up the big day with a two-week honeymoon to Europe....
I believe in the saying that- food is eaten with eyes first. However, it’s also true that no matter how appealing your dish looks, if it doesn’t taste good, nothing matters. Today’s dish is one such dish which is not only a pleasure for eyes but for taste buds too. This colorful and flavorful dish is Nasi Goreng from Indonesia. It’s the national dish of Indonesia. In 2011, this dish was ranked no....
This salad is perfect for salad haters. I love all kinds of salads, but I really love cold noodle salads because while they’re cool and full of veggies like regular old salads, they’ve also got…you guessed it…noodles! So they’re really satisfying. I love making a meal of a good vegan noodle salad, especially during the warmer months. I have rice noodle salad recipe that I shared a while back, and it’s still one of my favorite summer dinners!...
So it’s no surprise that I’m all about creating as many variations on this theme as possible. These vegan lasagna roll-ups are the latest! They’re a fun spin on lasagna that I highly recommend trying. I’d love to say that lasagna roll-ups are easier to make than lasagna, but the effort level is about the same. (If you’re looking for something easy, check out my vegan lasagna soup.) But they do have the advantage of being way easier to serve....
I just checked and I have 792 published posts on this blog. Damn! And most of them are recipes. I can’t even get my head around that. Like, when I try to think of what recipes I have on the blog, for example when someone asks for a recommendation, I can usually think of five dishes, max. So sometimes I’ll come up with a new idea that I think is totally groundbreaking, go and make it and then realize it looks a lot like something I made two years ago....
A bowl of noodles makes me instantly happy and I believe it does the same for most of you. The best thing is that you can get all creative with noodles and make it in so many different styles. That’s the reason why I keep on collecting or inventing quick and easy noodle recipes from around the world. I have already shared a lot of easy noodle recipes on my blog and today I am sharing another very easy Japanese style recipe – Vegetable Teriyaki Noodles....

What Makes This Recipe So Good Every now and then I get an intense craving for a Caesar salad: the crisp romaine, the creamy dressing so rich with umami, the crunchy croutons and creamy, aged parmesan. I’ll settle for a bowl almost anywhere! The trouble strikes when we’re in the middle of a Whole30 and heavy sweet potatoes and avocados and eggs no longer sound appetizing. I need cool and refreshing and crisp, and a big Caesar salad would fit the bill so perfectly....
Don’t let the ingredients list intimidate you! It looks complicated, but I promise this recipe is SO simple. It’s mostly just mixing things together. You’ve got this! And it’s TOTALLY worth it in the end. What Makes This Recipe So Good I started making this fish taco bowl YEARS ago on our very first Whole30, and first posted the recipe here in early 2017. Well, I am here to tell you that, even 6+ years later, I still love it every bit as much as I did on day one....
The Whole30 can be overwhelming, for sure. Especially if you’re not using to eating or cooking a paleo diet, you’ll be absolutely blown away by all the foods you’re used to eating that you’re cutting out for 30 days. What about my peanut butter? What’s so wrong with a black bean? WHY NO PANCAKES, MELISSA?! All of these questions will run like a ticker through your mind, possibly bubbling over in a pancake-driven rage, holding the poor soul who happened to file into the grocery line behind you by the collar, shaking them maniacally… What, no one else?...
It is my pleasure to introduce Michelle of Thriving on Paleo to you. On her inspiring paleo blog, she shares exciting healthy recipes to make sure you don’t get bored with the paleo diet. Following a strict Paleo diet completely turned her life around and she confesses that she actually feels better at 40 than she did at 25. I mean, no wonder – look at her delicious healthy food!...
