| Disclosure: This recipe was created for Ancient Harvest. See below for more details. | One of the earliest items I learned to make when I first started cooking happened to be baked falafels. I had fallen in love with falafels thanks to a local Greek restaurant near school but once I moved away, I had…
Entrée
Bulgur Vegetarian Chili
One of the very first recipes I created was a take on this bulgur vegetarian chili. My mother had told me about one of her favorite recipes: a bulgur chili. She had made it a couple decades ago, with chocolate and a few other ingredients, but had since lost the recipe. At first, my attempts at…
Delicata Squash Spring Rolls with Spinach
As you read the title of this recipe, you might be thinking to yourself that the two main items, squash and spring rolls, don’t scream fast. Squash takes time to prepare and the wrapping of the spring rolls can be tedious. However, using delicata squash (no-peel, quick cooking) and a small batch of spring rolls…
Butternut Squash Galette with Balsamic Onions and Ricotta
A delicious fall savory galette
Moroccan Carrot Salad with Millet
I had grand plans to share a pot pie recipe for Thanksgiving today but we’ve entered a new era of short naps which meant, I’ve not had a ton of time to shoot a slightly more intricate recipe. Enter this Moroccan Carrot Salad. It can easily be cooked and assembled in about 25 minutes, has…
Brussels Sprout Pasta with Lemon Cream Sauce
We don’t make a huge to-do about Thanksgiving in our house. Since moving to California, it’s been a small, casual affair. I make up a few traditional side dishes/pies and M’s nephew comes over. Each year, I also create a new vegetarian main. It started with quiche and has since spanned from this Brussels sprout…
Stove Top Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
I am not a meticulous person. I’m moving too fast, have too much on my mind, or just too many ideas swirling around. My attention to detail is mediocre at best and I’m okay with stopping at things that are good enough. With recipes, I know many could be even better if I took a…
Delicata Squash Pizza
Between M and I, we have very few repetitious patterns. On any given day, we fly by the seat of our pants. I think part of this is because neither of us have set times to be some place during the day, we work until we feel like we can wrap up the day, and…
Tahini Butternut Squash Noodle Bowl with Spinach
For whatever reason, I nearly always cube my butternut squash before cooking (whether it be roasting, steaming, or pan frying). It’s rare that I cook the squash whole. I think it’s because in my mind, the whole squash takes longer to cook but in the end, it’s less preparation and really, not much more time….
Grilled Fennel Salad with Orzo and White Beans
Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Polenta
One of the things I enjoy most about Sacramento is the cool evenings. No matter how warm the days get, the evenings cool off and most days we’re able to open the windows (minus a the few weeks of summer when it’s just hot.) Recently, these cooler evenings have pushed me more into heartier cooking….
Smoked Paprika Red Potatoes and Egg Bake
I have a core collection of recipes on the site that have been my staples over the years. I’ve realized that egg skillets and egg bakes top the list. In particular, this recipe for smoked paprika red potatoes and egg bake has stood the test of time. Whether I’m cooking for myself or my family,…
Cauliflower Stir fry with Quinoa
| Disclosure: This recipe was created for Ancient Harvest. See below for more details. | In terms of kitchen equipment, I like to err on the side of minimal. I keep a few kitchen gadgets (primarily waffle maker, food processor, and stand mixer) but for the most part, I love recipes that use a pan, maybe…
Chipotle Sweet Potato Tacos with Black Beans and Guacamole
And the addiction to sweet potato and chipotle continues…
