Vegetarian Taco Salad with a honey lime dressing

This taco salad is a result of my rummaging through the fridge and pantry throwing together some of my favorite ingredients. I love this salad because it's light yet filling. It's super healthy with a whole lot of crunch.

Broccoli Rabe Arancini with Marinara Sauce

Since that evening in Milan, I vowed to learn how to make a risotto as good as the one we shared. In the beginning, I started off by making small servings. Not confident in my ability to pull it off, I figured that I wouldn't feel as bad if it didn't turn out and I only made enough for two. Now when I'm making risotto, I'll make enough for a family of 8 - I can't help myself.

chocolate pull apart rolls

I've made this recipe with both dark and milk chocolate. Each is unique in flavor, and really, it's up to you to choose your favorite. Once you've rolled out the dough into a tight tube, and carefully sliced it into perfectly beautiful rounds, your natural instinct is going to be to place them neatly and tightly into a large pan, where they can rise and puff into each other.

Lemony Soup with White Beans, Kale, and Pasta

Now lets talk about this soup and all of the delicious bits that is encompasses. I made this lemony, white bean, kale, and pasta soup for the first time over the Christmas holidays, after a trip to the grocery store, a handful of my favorite ingredients thrown into a basket. I had just received the book Jerusalem as a gift, and was busy bookmarking the dishes I was most eager to try.

Vermicelli Tofu Noodle Bowl

Lately, I've been thinking about my travels. Recreating scenes, flavors, moments in my mind. Last week, I saw two tiny plastic chairs on the sidewalk, and I was overwhelmed with a certain feeling of nostalgia.  Some days I just crave the chaos and unpredictability of travel, and today that craving was particularly strong.

Three Bean Salad with Dried Cranberries and Celery

Three Bean Salad with Dried Cranberries and Celery

I like to make this salad the night before, allowing the garlic flavors to absorb into the beans. The dried cranberries add a nice sweet chewiness, which the celery and red pepper add a crunch. The dressing is a simple mixture of oil, balsamic, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper.

I wanted to share this biscuit recipe with you because they are so versatile and easy to make. You can enjoy them for breakfast with this delicious blueberry jam, or with an egg and some cheese, depending on whether you prefer sweet or savory.

Spaghetti with a Cheesy Tomato and Garlic Sauce

Spaghetti with a Cheesy Tomato and Garlic Sauce

This recipe is so simple. Pasta, oil, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, and seasoning. It tastes similar to a mac and cheese, just a little more sophisticated. The recipe takes a little under 20 minutes to prepare, so it has been a go-to favorite of ours for the last little while.

Za'atar Roasted Carrot, Cauliflower and Chickpea Bowl with a Lemon Yogurt Dressing

Cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas are such a good combination of flavors, and when they are roasted in some oil and spices, look out. I combined them with some fresh watercress, chopped avocado, and topped with a quick lemon yogurt sauce, and it was pretty much the best thing we ate all week.

I've got the perfect dessert for your Easter weekend - Apple Crisp Cheesecake! It’s a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The apples are sweet and tender, the graham crumb is sweet and nutty, the cream cheese layer is rich and creamy, and the crunchy crisp topping completes it all. It is the cheesecake of my dreams. The post is up on my blog. This recipe was created in partnership with @stemiltfruit
I have a new recipe for vanilla cupcakes with strawberry cream cheese icing up on the blog. Happy spring!
We've been eating this pasta quite a bit lately. It's so easy to make and tastes like grandma's homemade tomato sauce. I'll share the recipe below. In a large frying pan or Dutch oven, sautee on medium heat, 2 cups of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 diced onion in 1 tbsp of butter until soft. Add 1 bag of Morning Star veggie crumbles or your favorite ground round or ground beef (a rough pound). Sautee until brown. Add one jar of Rao's tomato sauce or favorite tomato sauce of choice. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add a 1 1/2 tbsp of salt to the water. Add one pound of your favorite pasta and cook until al dente. Do not drain the water when done. Add the pasta to the sauce. Add enough pasta water to the sauce and noodles to thin it out and season. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Happy pi(e) day! How about a slice of chocolate pie with toasted meringue? The recipe and many other pie recipes can be found on my site. I'll share a link in my profile.
Say hello to my favorite veggie burger. Melted havarti cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh sliced @stemiltfruit piñata apples piled on top of a savory patty. So many flavors complimenting one another. You can get the link to this recipe on the blog.
So much goodness on one plate. Roasted veggie frittata, olive toast, roasted potatoes, and a real tangy mustardy pistachio salad. @macrinabakery never disappoints.
