Orange Tomato Soba Noodle Salad

With all these oranges and tomatoes making recipe appearances while there’s still snow on the ground, MIGHT have been a bit preemptive. We had, like, one day of warm weather and I went crazy thinking of summer salads and dishes, forgetting how cruel Boston spring can be. My short sleeve day was fleeting and we’re […]

Asparagus Tangerine Cous Cous Pilaf with Tarragon Vinaigrette

It’s asparagus season, my favorite time of the year! And you know what that means… Stinky pee! OK, OK. Grow up Lisa! Seriously, it does mean your pee is gonna smell. But it also means spring is coming. It may have got terribly lost in the snow on it’s way to Boston, but it’s coming. […]

Carrot Mango Lassi

Sweet baby Jesus, thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing lassis into my life. I can’t get enough of them now that I’ve finally started making them at home.

I actually think all these meals actually taste better than the non-vegan versions, if I do say so myself! These shells were beautiful to photograph and […]
