BBQ Jackfruit Tacos + Kale Corn Slaw (Vegan+GF)
Do I really need a reason for making tacos? Yeah, I didn’t think so. I’m thinking back to when I first heard of jackfruit and simultaneously heard of it being used as sort of replacement for pulled barbecue. I was so confused about what it even was and if it could taste anything like a barbecue sandwich. It is indeed a fruit but when it’s made like this guys, it’s so convincing as meat. I even got my brother to think it was basic bbq. Recently my focus in the kitchen has really shifted to making things simple, fast, and approachable. I know there are a few places to purchase jackfruit but…

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…

Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Orzo Pasta Skillet
Dinner is on and it’s Roasted Red Pepper Orzo tonight! You know you’re onto something amazing when you decide to skip adding the cheese. This post is all about Roasted Red Pepper Orzo That’s right, I was planning to add a good amount of cheese to this recipe and once I’d finished making it I realized it was just not necessary. In fact, the flavor was so perfect that I didn’t want the cheese to mess it up by adding cheese to distract from it. I mean, this was such a classic case of “why fix what ain’t broke?”. So the topic of orzo is something of a humorous controversy in my house.…

Springtime Vibes Salad+Cilantro Almond Butter Dressing (Vegan+GF)
You guys, this salad! Omg, in case the name didn’t give it away, this salad is inspired by both my trip to California (which as I write this I’m about to pack but if your reading it I’m probably chilling in San Diego by now) and all things Springtime as well. It’s basically a little celebration in a bowl about the approach of warm weather and longer daylight hours. I can’t wait to share my trip with you later this week. I can guarantee I’ll have way too many pictures. I’ve heard a lot of you guys saying that it’s been really cold where you live in different places across the US and…

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…

Spicy Thai Vegetable Tahini Stir-Fry Ramen (Vegan+GF)
And just like that we all wake up to December. Happy fri-yay and happy December my friends! It’s funny, you’d think the reality of time moving on would eventually set in after a while……..but somehow it’s always surprising to me. You know what I mean? Well anyway, I realized there’s been a lot of sweet stuff around here recently and I thought it was about time I shared something on the savory side with you guys, you know, cuz balance and stuff. Although, if life worked the way I wanted it to this time of year then we’d be able to thrive on Christmas cookies and chocolate treats all month. Of course, then…
