Summer’s almost here! It’s time to break out the grill and get cooking! Start your summer off with Grilled Pesto Tart (with assorted tomatoes) from VBQ: The Ultimate Vegan Barbecue Cookbook by Nadine Horn and Jörg Mayer. Summer Grilling I’m actually not a big fan of summer. I know, I know—I’m weird. I just don’t do…
Move over coleslaw! Cruciferous Crunch Salad is destined to become everyone’s favorite cookout side dish! Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Crunch I’m quite the nutrition geek, so when Trader Joe’s introduced their Cruciferous Crunch—a mix of shredded kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli—a few years ago, I went a little nuts with it. I bought bags and…
Making homemade pasta is much easier than you think! Just follow the simple steps in this recipe for gluten-free gnocchi from The Plantpower Way: Italia, and you’ll have dinner on the table in no time! Italian Food I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Italian food. There’s just something about starchy noodles, creamy sauces, and…
This Tahini & Tofu Kale Salad is hearty enough to be a meal on it’s own, but it also makes an excellent side dish for lunch or dinner. A lot of people believe that vegans eat nothing but salad, which, of course, is far from the truth. I eat a huge variety of foods, including…
This Broccoli with Fermented Black Bean Sauce from The Wicked Healthy Cookbookby Chad Sarno, Derek Sarno, and David Joachim comes together much more quickly than it would take to order takeout – and it tastes much better than takeout, too!

Made with hearty grains and light spring greens, this Asparagus and Arugula Farro Salad is an excellent side dish, but it’s also substantial enough to be a meal on its own. Forgotten farro I’ve had half a package of Trader Joe’s quick cooking farro in my pantry for about six months now. I had forgotten…
Warning! This vegan Green Goddess Dressing is so addictive, you’ll want to pour it over everything! Pre-vegan, salad-eating days Green goddess dressing was one of my favorite salad dressings in my pre-vegan days. I loved it so much that I may have even snuck some into my salads after I decided to go vegan. I…
Loaded with baked tofu, savory quinoa, and fresh veggies, this Quinoa and Tofu Burrito Bowl is the perfect meal for busy weeknights. In addition to being a health and lifestyle coach and a vegan food blogger, I also work as a coaching circle coach for The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. What’s a coaching circle coach,…
This creamy vegan Chipotle Lime Dressing might just be your new favorite condiment! Spread it on sandwiches, drizzle on tacos, and pour it on salads. Chipotle Mayo I’m a big fan of chipotle mayo. There are a few different vegan brands on the market, and I love them all. But, let’s face it – they’re mostly…
These vegan Chorizo Tacos are my go-to meal on busy nights, and they’re a Taco Tuesday favorite in my house. They’re super easy to make, and even easier if you have pre-chopped veggies on hand. Last week I shared my recipe for Soy Chorizo, and today I’m sharing my favorite dish to cook with…
