I know, I know. This bowl of brown who-knows-what isn’t much to look at. But bear with me, because it tastes amazing. This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is “Fresh Start – A New Approach to Breakfast.” So you may be wondering why I made oatmeal for breakfast, since its really nothing new. The method I [...]

When it comes to sandwiches, I’m a little picky. I am completely bored by a regular ‘ol sandwich like pb+j or a grilled veggie sandwich. But when it comes to big, bulky, piping hot pressed paninis? Show me to them. I like when sandwiches are stuffed with all sorts of fillers and grilled to perfection. [...]

I haven’t made a good homemade veggie burger in a while, even though we eat at least one Dr. Praeger’s veggie burgers each per week. Sometimes Funk makes these grand veggie burger meals with the Dr. Praeger’s that I call “Funk’s Special” because they always wind up so much better than when I just pop [...]

Last Saturday night, Funk and I had dinner plans. Knowing I’d be indulging a bit at dinner, I wanted to jam-pack my lunch with fruits and veggies. With a half of a bag of curly kale in the fridge that was about to go bad, I decided to make a massive massaged kale salad with [...]

I get many of my recipe inspiration from blogs, twitter, or random google searches. Most of the time, if I’m craving a certain food, I’ll just type it into the EatingWell.com recipe database and see what they recommend. But every so often, I tear out recipes from good ‘ol fashioned magazines (I subscribe to Eating [...]

Several weeks ago, my mom gave me a fresh bunch of parsley. And I let it sit in my fridge for another few weeks. It was beginning to lose its luster and wilt, but I knew I didn’t need to toss it. When foods start to turn bad in our kitchen, what do we do? [...]

Usually it takes me weeks to finish a big bag of apples from an apple picking trip. I’m an apple-a-day kind of girl nearly year round, but when apples are busting at the seams of my refrigerator, it’s a little overwhelming! I was trying to come up with a savory dinner dish that would help [...]

Lately my Sunday evening routine, when it comes to making meals, involves my beloved rice cooker. In it, I can toss some veggies, spices, seasonings, and two hours later have a great grain dish waiting for us with leftovers for the next few days. It requires absolutely no stove or oven heat, which is key [...]

VegNews featured this recipe for Avocado Pesto Pasta a few weeks ago. When I clicked through it, I saw the chef behind the recipe masterpiece is one of my favorite vegan chefs, Chloe Coscarelli. She makes such decadent vegan recipes and takes head-turning photos of them. I knew it was a dish I had to [...]

Whenever I travel, whether it be a road trip (hate ‘em) or a cross country flight, my eating always gets out of whack. It’s not that I have such regimented eating habits, I’m just so used to eating an abundance of whole grains, fruits and veggies, home-cooked food and snacking that when I deviate from [...]
