You know what’s delicious paired with the Easy Saffron Brown Basmati Rice I recently posted? This comforting, Colorful Root-Veggie Curry. It’s one of those recipes that gets better with each day it is stored as leftovers (spice infusion to the max), so make plenty. You can remove the skins from your root veggies or keep […]

Saffron Brown Basmati Rice
I’ve been on a bonafide saffron kick since summer. I want to put it in everything from tea to cookies to bread to breakfast cereal. And since I keep a batch of this simple Saffron Brown Basmati Rice in the fridge each week, I thought I’d share it with you so you can join me in my […]
Fermented Golden Beets
The 8-year-old-I-hate-all-veggies-and-will-sit-at-the-dinner-table-all-night-long-in-defiance girl inside me is so rolling her eyes over the fact that I’m writing up a post about beets. And not just any beets, fermented beets! But she better learn to respect her elders because they know what time it is. I can’t believe I ever had a time in my life where […]

Old Bay Chickpea Fries with Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce
I’m having a lot of fun goofing around with chickpea flour these past few months. I’ve made “tofu” out of it, a tasty Garlic-Tahini Wrap with it, and now: Fries! The Marylander in me had to season them with Old Bay which is heaven dipped into sweet, homemade Honey-Mustard Sauce. With final deadlines closing in for […]
Carrot & Coriander Bisque & Blissful Basil Book Giveaway
I can’t remember where I saw it, but in a feed somewhere I read that this time in our history will be known as “The Great Awakening”… and this comforted me. Thinking that most of the collective uncertainty, disappointment, and disbelief many of us are feeling these days will ultimately lead us to important work and connection […]
Chickpea “Tofu,” Tahini & Seared Kale Wrap
A few weeks ago I shared the game-changer that is chickpea tofu. Today, I want to share one of my favorite ways to eat chickpea tofu—pan-fried and loaded into a wrap with a quick and easy garlic-tahini sauce, a little red onion, seared kale, and fresh lemon. If you have some Sriracha or harissa, sprinkle some of that […]
Easy Chickpea “Tofu”
I was goofing around with chickpea tofu over a year ago and never got around to posting my discoveries. This morning though, I revisited my recipe and simplified the process quite a bit. So, the silver lining is that it’s good I didn’t post the first more involved version, right? Ha. Timing. You can use chickpea […]
Creamy Roasted Poblano & Sweet Corn Chowder
My garden is ready to be prepped for winter, but the poblano peppers are still going strong! And so are a few of my green zebra tomatoes—they all want me to wait a little bit longer. Last week I was able to bring in quite the bowlful of these poblano beauties, and my brain instantly went to […]
Garlic-Roasted Radishes with Meyer Lemon
When I buy a bunch of radishes, I use a few to garnish tacos, to brighten salads and make some kimchi, but there are usually a handful left that I don’t get to in time. While I always tend to eat them raw, I thought I’d give them a try roasted. Wow. What a happy surprise—the flavor is delicious and […]
