I can’t get enough cauliflower! It gets so darn creamy and flavorful once roated, dontcha think? This version is solely cauli power. But cauliflower mashed potatoes are divine if you’re looking to actually have potatoes in the mix. And if you’re feeling especially herby, don’t forget my healthy cauliflower stuffing! Let’s get something straight here. I don’t really think of these as a “guilt-free;” I think of them as a scrumptious new way to enjoy cauliflower....

The first time I prepared this was a huge hit in my household. The consistency of the soup was close to chili with flavors coming from vegetables as well as spices. I agree to be sent email. Although tortilla soups are traditionally Mexican, I have made some interesting changes to make it even more interesting, nutritious, and easy to prepare. There aren’t very many special ingredients for this veggie tortilla soup and you can get it done in less than 45 minutes with the Instant Pot....

The secret to making the best tasting mapo tofu is to use the freshest Sichuan peppercorns you can find, plus a high quality Chinese Doubanjiang. To make the best vegan mapo tofu, I used dried shiitake mushrooms and their soaking water for an intense umami. I also used homemade fermented black bean sauce instead of soy sauce to give it extra depth of flavor. Soft (or even silken) tofu is often used in China for the best texture....

Let’s give a big, warm welcome to summer and a giant kiss on zee cheek to zucchini season! Oh my lanta, this zucchini bread is GOOD. I did this bizarre thing where I didn’t use chocolate chips.

Chocolate is most definitely my comfy place, as evidenced by this crowd fave Vegan Banana Bread oozing with chocolaty greatness left and right....

The humble egg cup is the reason I can get out the door fully fed while also feeding and clothing my two tiny children, filling water bottles, and then some. Bonus points that my kids think eating eggs in muffin shapes is WAY more fun! If low-carb’s your game, fabulous. But if you know me you know I’m in a committed relationship with anything carby. So I devour these smushed on avocado toast (no washing the egg pan, bliss!...

Salmon is one of life’s little luxuries that used to seem plentiful and abundant. But it has become something we should all be giving more thought to. I have always tried to source the freshest and most sustainable ingredients to use in my cooking, and am grateful for every single component that makes each dish what it is. This applies especially to salmon.

However, tofu is such an institution in its own right that it merits its own post.

Updated March 26, 2019 We love serving traditional Thanksgiving foods at our table, but every year I have to try a few new recipes to add to the spread. I love a good piece of pie, but if I had a choice, I would choose a piece of galette any day. I prefer the “rustic pie.” I recently made this Apple Toffee galette and fell in love. It is going to be a great addition to our holiday dessert table....

Man, public holidays are lovely but they throw me off big time. It feels like Monday right now but also kind of like the first day back from an actual holiday because we have had non-stop public holidays for a while now. And getting back into the swing of things also takes me a while. Especially since I feel like I haven’t actually gotten into 2016 at all yet and we’re already heading into April....

We love eggs so much that Josh spent the weekend building a chicken coop....
