Cilantro, Jalapeno & Lime Hummus

We make our red pepper hummus ALL THE TIME.  I get bored pretty quickly, but I love my hummus, so I wanted a new variation.  Lime and cilantro are 2 of my favorite food staples, so putting them together in hummus made it delicious!  It’s perfect as a dip, but even better as a sandwich or wrap spread. 3 cups […]

Potato, Broccoli & Kale Soup

Such a savory and creamy soup.  It’s vegan, but for some reason, it’s richness has a buttery flavor.  I don’t know where that came from, but I love that taste without actually having to consume an animal product.   This recipe makes ALOT and it’s very filling, so it could last you til February if you ration […]

Blog Goals, NOT Resolutions…

Baked Chard & Zucchini Ziti

So I didn’t use ziti, but I would have if I had any lying around the house.  I used a weird durum semolina pasta I didn’t know how to pronounce, but they resemble massive elbow macaroni, and I’m a sucker for the nostalgic feeling elbow pasta produces.  This is one of those can’t-keep-your -hands-off-it meals that Jim eats […]

Shredded Root Veggie Latkes

I’d be quick to argue with someone who claims to be a beet hater. Most people I know are repulsed by them, but I have to admit that they are one of the most beautiful and yummiest veggies around.  They’re more versatile then they seem and it makes me sad that they’re highly underrated. The downside? […]
