Broccoli & Cashew Pesto Pasta (Vegan+GF)
How is it already getting into September? And how is it that this year seems to be taking forever and yet flying by all at the same time?? It’s definitely a strange year and I think we can all agree it hasn’t been the easiest. Making meals at home is definitely a form of therapy for me that helps to get through hard times. I’ve especially enjoyed my time in my own kitchen since my schedule makes that a more rare thing right now than it used to be. This pesto pasta is something that I made a recently when I was craving some comfort food. Pesto is one of those foods that…

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…

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…

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto & Havarti Grilled Cheese
Who else is excited about this Summer? I’m already feeling the need to switch out the wardrobe from jackets and boots so I can dig out all the shorts and flip-flops. Maybe this is just me, but there’s just something so liberating about not having to layer up to walk outside. It’s like more of the world opens up during the warmer seasons. I love it. Also, it sounds like my family is going to be having lots of visitors through the Summer. We’ve got plans with both old and new friends so it’s going to be a really busy season of barbecues, picnics, and sports. Oh, and there’s only a…

Pistachio+Kale Pesto Pita Pizzas (Vegan)
The basil strikes again! I know, I know, it’s been showing up in recipes a lot. It’s just my little plant is still sitting there in my kitchen saying “I’m beautiful, and fresh, and delicious, use me!” and I can’t resist. Clearly I need to start an herb garden so I get some flavor variety going on. Actually, as soon as the weather starts to warm a bit I’m doing it. We’ve got this little patio/porch area outside the back door that’s completely closed in and very bright so I’m probably going to takeover the area and make it my little greenhouse this Spring. It’s alright though because my fam is always willing…
