Asian Kale Watermelon Salad + Sesame Peanut Dressing (Vegan+GF)
I think I’ve cut about a bajillion watermelons this Summer. Not even joking, I’ve probably cut at least 100. We’ve got this little planter box out in our backyard that we’ve been using and a sort of compost pile for the moment. There are so many rinds out there that it looks like a freaking watermelon graveyard. In fact, my little sister told someone we were trying to grow watermelons (LOL). So I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of this combination before, but I’ve been so curious to see what it was like. I’m guessing that many people would find this a very strange combination and I’d have to say I understand…

Rainbow Veggie Cobb Salad (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a while since I shared a good salad recipe I’d say. Salads are the one thing that I get really carried away with when I start making them. I don’t know, there are just so many possibilities that I end up add everything and the kitchen sink. Please tell me you are like this with something in your life at least so I don’t feel so strange. With this salad I started out with plans to make a simple and basic cobb style salad with my favorite toppings. One of those toppings is what I like to call “fakin” because it’s so perfect for all the people that like bacon…

Green Goddess Nourish Bowls + Tahini Pesto (Vegan+GF)
The weather is finally starting to feel a hint like Autumn here. And when I say “a hint” that’s probably just me using wishful thinking. It’s also probably a bit influenced by the current situation outside. The smoke level from all the nearby wildfires has reached a new high and the sun’s warmth is having to fight through it all. Yeah, it’s not too inviting to go outside right now but it’s definitely making me thankful for all the time that we do have clean air to breathe. Anyway, I think all of this smoky sadness has had me feeling sort of dirty or something. I’ve been craving fresh and healthy foods to…

25-Minute Thai Peanut Soba Noodle Salad (Vegan)
I’m such a fan of Asian flavors you guys. If I didn’t try to keep things interesting here I’d probably just end up sharing stir-fry recipes and sushi every single day. As it is, I think I share quite a few recipes with those flavors. This recipe is one that you might be familiar. Or, maybe it’s something you’ve never heard of and it sounds super intriguing to you. I know I did when I first heard of something like this. First of all, can we just take a second to acknowledge the double standards within cultures when it comes to food. For example, who decided that pancakes and waffles are for breakfast?…

Creamy Avocado Pesto Zoodle Salad (Vegan+GF)
I think I’ve discovered my favorite new Summer side salad! So I know I totally dropped the ball on getting a red, white, and blue themed recipe up for all my friends here in the States. I don’t know, I just had so many recipes lined up before the 4th that I had to share. The good news is that this salad is perfect for a picnic on a hot Summer day. In fact, all the bursting colors sort of remind you of fireworks, no? I’ve had a spiralizer for a while but because it’s not a tool I keep in plain sight I tend not to use it as much as…

Crunchy Pinto Bean Salad Sandwich (Vegan+GF)
So another week begins. I hope you had a great weekend. We went to see the new Jurassic World movie and I really liked it. Then I drove up to Sandpoint yesterday with my sister and we hiked to Snow Creek Falls and took lots of photos and video so I’ll be sharing that soon. I also did some recipe testing over the weekend. Tell me, were you a fan of tuna, egg, or chicken salad sandwiches as a kid? Did you ever consider what it might be like to star a bean in this recipe? I really hadn’t so that’s why I was extremely surprised at how good it was the first…

Roasted Purple Potatoes & Green Beans
You know those nights when you just can’t even think about making something complicated for dinner? Maybe it’s been a really long day, or even week, and the thought of preparing anything that requires more than minimal effort is really unappealing. Usually in my house this is when the freezer gets opened by one of the boys and the frozen pizzas go into the oven….or worse, the microwave (oh the horror!) You’d maybe think that this type of thing doesn’t happen in my house since I’m constantly sharing recipes. Well, you guys, it totally does sometimes. In fact, on a busy day when I’m working on specific recipes sometimes I just haven’t made…
