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 […]

Autumn Sweet Potato & Carrot Crisp (gluten-free, dairy-free)
I feel like Autumn came on really quickly. Really. Quickly. One day I was sweating on a sunny hike and the next I was back into the hot-tea-all-day and big socks routine. The seasonal change has me craving more substantial foods like roots and tubers—creamy soups, and sweeter treats, which I think is the body’s way […]
Roasted Garlic Basil Pesto Potatoes with Arugula from “Oh She Glows Everyday” + A Giveaway
I finally had to face the music and come home after a one-week-turned-two-week trip to the beach recently, but right after I pulled up to the house, and shuffled inside (still barefoot) I was so very happy to find Angela Liddon’s gorgeous second book waiting for me! I immediately put my legs up and started flipping through drool-worthy photo […]
Easy Earl Grey Ice Cream (Dairy-Free)
I’m in full-blown recipe-testing mode for the second YumUniverse book these next few weeks. The clock. is. officially. ticking. Elephant-sized anxiety bullies and shouts that I actually should be in the kitchen right now instead of writing this post, but—deep breath—instead, I woke up this morning, put my running shoes on, ignored the you-only-have-30-days-left-and-73-recipes-left-to-test-what-the-hell-are-you-doing-get-your-butt-into-the-kitchen voice and just walked away […]
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 […]
Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Last summer, thanks to the generosity of pals and neighbors, I ended up with a bumper crop of banana peppers. At the time, I came up with a tasty, orange-y Roasted Banana Pepper Vinaigrette that I continue to use often, not only for delicious green salads, but for dressing veggies like Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts. This recipe is also delicious […]
Love & Lemons Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Cream
I love tacos. I. Love. Tacos. On a busy night, you can easily sauté any number of veggies, load up a tortilla, and add some salsa or my chipotle sauce for a quick and easy dinner. Done. I also love all things white on white on white, sunny pops of yellow, and I love folks who showcase […]
Coconut Bacon Bits from the DIY Vegan Cookbook
Back when YumUniverse had it’s first birthday (almost 6 years ago!) I held a recipe contest to celebrate, and while every entry was delicious, there were a few that stood out to me and my fellow recipe testers—the Grand Prize winner Lisa Pitman’s Party Perfect Petit Fours (check out her Crustless Kale & Mushroom Quiche too) and Nicole Axworthy, who came […]
Homemade Toasted Maple-Pecan Butter
In the YumUniverse book I share my easy recipe for homemade Toasted Almond Butter, and I now want to share with YU another delicious discovery—Toasted Maple-Pecan Butter. Use it to make a delicious non-dairy milk, spread it on some gluten-free toast, swirl it into homemade yogurt, or chia pudding (maybe a chocolate one). And yes, […]
Broccoli Bowl with Creamy Butternut Squash Sauce
I was raised on comforting Mac & Cheese, cheese-y dips and creamy sauces—they’re pretty much in my DNA. These days however, when I want some comfort food, I like to whip up something that makes me feel good without the health-diminishing returns. This easy Broccoli Bowl with Creamy Butternut Squash Sauce recipe does the trick—all the comfort […]
