Updated June 01, 2020 Our garden is out of control and I am pleasantly surprised. I have never really had a green thumb, but this year I feel like all of my fingers are green. Our garden is thriving, especially our basil. I can’t keep up! I have been making pesto and basil vinaigrette nonstop and I still don’t make a dent in our basil. I decided to put all of our garden goodies to use and make a Summer Tortellini Salad....

If that’s not heaven on a plate I don’t know what is. You may never look at the humble Brussels sprout the same again. The level of sweet, spicy flavor and 10/10 crispy texture is off the charts!

My Maple Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are an autumn dream and this Goat Cheese Pasta with Brussels Sprouts is a sublime dinner for chilly nights in chunky sweaters....

I’ve met my [veggie burger] soul mate. They’re firm. They flavorful. They’re healthy. They’re carnivore-approved. They’re vegan. They’re easily gluten-free. They don’t fall apart.

There’s the ones that are super easy where you skip the onions and fresh herbs and opt for a few simple ingredients and spices, like these Easy Black Bean Burgers. Then there’s the more elaborate ones where you have to whip out your thirty pound food processor (UGH) and sauté a bunch of stuff and then they don’t even stick together....

I love salads that are hearty enough to be considered a meal (without leaving you hungry). Can you add protein to this? Absolutely! But it’s also unnecessary because the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts add so much body and texture to this salad, along with the bulgur wheat. Add any of your favorite salad toppings but as is, this salad is unbelievably delicious and my new go-to. It’s also great for meal prep as the bulgur wheat, sweet potato and Brussels sprouts can be made up to 4 days in advance and kept in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble and serve....

It is one of the tastiest combinations of potato and spinach you can find anywhere. I agree to be sent email.

Imagine if you could actually bake in your sleep. It would save SO MUCH TIME. Sleep tight guys, I’m off to whip up a dozen chocolate muffins and granola bars and oh maybe dream a little too, but only if I have time.
