When I was growing up, we had many a Thanksgiving that started off with a first course of manicotti or ravioli. This happened if we celebrated with my father's family who grew up in Italy and didn't really understand the American Thanksgiving traditions. I mean, it was a holiday, so manicotti were ...
Oven Baked Eggplant with Olives, Capers and Basil Recipe
Thanks for waiting for me, friends. I'm back and taking it all one day at a time. Nothing else I can say at this point. I appreciate this beautiful community I have built here and the outpouring of love and support you have given me. No words can truly express my gratitude for your friendship ...
Mixed Greens With Green Beans, Almonds and Dried Cherry Vinaigrette Recipe
I almost saved this recipe to post in November for Thanksgiving. You can certainly print it and file it away in your Thanksgiving binder, but I find that recipes bookmarked for Thanksgiving never see the light of day outside of the holiday. I never make stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, corn ...
Farro with Golden Beets, Cucumber, Feta and Mint Vinaigrette recipe
I recently made this recipe from deep in my archives. It's always on the summer rotation, but this last time I decided to tweak the vinaigrette a little to make it punchier - yum! Even better. And while I was at it, I re-photographed the dish since the blog photos needed a facelift. I thought I ...
Cauliflower Steaks Caprese Recipe
I made this recipe up on a whim last week and posted rough instructions on my Instagram, but I received too many DM's requesting an exact recipe, so I decided to post here. In a nutshell, you roast cauliflower steaks and top them with ricotta (in this case I used Kite Hill vegan almond milk ...
Grilled Carrots with Tahini Sauce Recipe
I had written an Instagram post about how I love grilling vegetables of all kinds. I love a simple grilled veggie platter with or without a sauce or dressing on the side. I especially love chopped grilled vegetables in a salad like this one. If grilling is an easy way for you to cook, then by all ...
Raw Tacos Recipe
I need you to be open-minded about this one. ;) First off, by "raw tacos" I do not mean raw animal protein. That would be ridiculous and awful. I mean a raw, plant-based taco-like mixture that is super quick and easy to prep, healthy and, I think, delicious! ...
Sugar Snap Pea and Quinoa Salad with Tofu
I saw sugar snap peas at the farmers market for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I immediately bought them without thinking twice. I am crazy for these crunchy, sweet pods and I often snack on them plain or dip them into hummus or a basic vinaigrette. The season for local sugar snap peas ...
Herbed Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Recipe
To hasselback a potato (or anything for that matter) means to slice it in an accordian style so that the slices fan out resulting in crispy edges and soft interiors. You can stuff anything you want in between the slices or nothing at all, but the results are absolutely delish. I love sweet ...
Jeweled Rice Recipe
'Tis the season for show-stopping recipes and I am bringing you another favorite (after last week's whole roasted cauliflower.) This one is inspired by the Persian "Jeweled Rice," aka Javaher Polow. As I understand it, Jeweled Rice is usually served at weddings, big family gatherings and even for ...
Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce, Raisins, Hazelnuts and Green Herbs
I love a showstopping dish for a holiday meal, whether it is a gorgeous and overflowing cheeseboard, a giant colorful salad brimming with jewel-toned, seasonal produce, a big, impressive dessert, or basically anything that makes my guests say "oooooh!" The trick is to make that recipe be ...
