Nuts & Seeds – Instead of traditional oats, I make the base of my keto granola with almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and sunflower seeds.

I was going to call this one vegan Manhattan clam chowder, but that would be just wrong. There are no clams. It’s not really chowder, even though, um…neither is conventional Manhattan clam chowder (which I have no explanation for). Also, it came out of my kitchen in southeastern Pennsylvania. So I’m calling it Manhattan Chickpea Chowder. I can handle being two-thirds wrong. My experience with conventional Manhattan clam chowder is limited to serving it to people while I waited tables during my college years....

Olives are a bit of a fixture in my diet. When I was a little kid, I was notorious for polishing off all of black olives at family picnics. Like, big time. I had to be kept away from the black olive tray, as I was inclined to help myself to an entire plate of those juicy little suckers. If only I’d had this sandwich to satiate my appetite back then....

Also known as ‘Spiral Potatoes’. I actually first came across them at a market, huge things they were!...

I don’t believe in counting every calorie which I take in as it takes away the pleasure of eating by filling us with guilt. I believe that enjoying food is very important but I also understand the importance of eating healthy. That’s the reason I keep on collecting and making healthy recipes from all over the world. Today’s recipe – Moroccan carrot salad is one such recipe. This vegan and gluten-free Moroccan salad recipe has all the qualities of a ‘to die for recipe’ – it’s very easy to make, gets ready within minutes, looks beautiful, requires only a few very easily available ingredients, is healthy and the most important thing – tastes great....

My mom has a few recipes she’s returned to almost every single year, and these are one of them. A perfect take off of the classic last-minute sandwich, the bars are nutty and sweet, fruity and chewy, gooey and rich! No wonder we requested them each year.. and I even have memories of being sent a box or two during my undergrad years! When I asked her to send me the recipe so I could make them myself, I discovered a dependable reader-submitted recipe from an 80s Southern Living cookbook....

I’m a big fan of adding quinoa to baked goods. Especially muffins! Quinoa muffins are really, really good. Like as in, better than their non-quinoa counterparts. As in, I’d make my muffins this way even if the addition of quinoa didn’t make them healthier. Yes, they’re that good. If you haven’t tried some quinoa baking yet, it’s time to get to it For this batch of quinoa muffins, I wanted to go seasonal....

What is Chipotle? Chipotle comes from smoke dried ripe jalapeño chili peppers. The origins of this technique go back as far as the pre-Aztec era, making it one of Mexico’s oldest culinary traditions. The pods can be cooked as they are, or ground down into chili powder and used as a condiment. Chipotle Powder vs Chipotle Peppers Chipotle always brings heat to meals, regardless of whether you’re cooking with chipotle chili powder or chili pods....

I’ve been sitting on this one for a good two and a half years! I think that’s a blog record. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the quality of the recipe itself. In fact, I love these veggie tacos. I planned at one point to put together an e-book of vegan tacos. I eventually scrapped that idea, but not before accumulating a nice collection of taco recipes. I finally decided it’s time to start sharing them....

This sauce is ridiculously simple, but works so well with a range of different ravioli fillings. Ready for a new go-to ravioli sauce?

When it comes to enjoying soup in the summer, you’ve got two options, as I see things. Option one is to enjoy a cold soup, like my cucumber gazpacho. Option two is hot soup, but made with seasonal summer produce. This summer squash soup is a perfect example of option two, and frankly, it’s a great excuse to enjoy some comfort food, even when it’s blazing hot outside! My chunky zucchini soup and vegan corn chowder are other examples of summery seasonal produce soup, but unlike those soups, this one is blended up until it’s silky smooth and creamy....
