Spring is a wonderful time to simplify- to throw open the windows, linger a bit longer outside (enjoying the sun), and go back to the basics of cooking. I think it’s easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to recipes. I see some recipes on Pinterest and I can’t help but think how long the…
Gluten-Free
Roasted Chipotle Sweet Potato and Sorghum Salad
Sorghum Salads I realize sorghum is not your every-day grain but I love showcasing recipes to try and get it used a little more in the kitchen. The flavor isn’t big but it does provide a little warmth to a dish. I find, my usage of sorghum is more about texture. Sorghum has a similar…
Roasted Sweet Potato Spring Rolls with Spinach
Spring rolls that are gluten free, vegan, and way delicious!
Spinach Millet Egg Bake
One of the things I love about running this site for so long is seeing how some of my favorite recipes morph. Outside of developing recipes, I don’t measure. I go based on whatever mood I’m in and never cook a meal the same way twice. This millet egg bake is the perfect example. This…
Coconut Rhubarb Amaranth Porridge
I have mentioned before that when I first started using amaranth, it wasn’t love at first bite. Amaranth was definitely a grain I was slow to add to my cooking. However, this porridge was one of the first recipes that I really learned to love this pseudo-grain. One of the major flavor discoveries along the…
Shaved Brussels Sprout Potstickers
I’ve mentioned before my weakness for fried food. It’s definitely a group of foods I don’t eat often and it’s rare that I make anything fried at home (the oil!) However, over the years, I’ve morphed how I make dumplings to help give me a taste of something salty and crunchy. These Brussels sprout potstickers…
Spiced Summer Squash Salad with Chickpeas
In the summer months, summer squash plays second fiddle to their zucchini cousin. It’s zucchini this and zucchini that but in reality, summer squash is just as good (and versatile in cooking!) One of my favorite summer recipes is this squash soup but the pesto bruschetta is a close second. This spiced squash salad is…
Creamy Millet Porridge with Roasted Strawberries
When it comes to morning porridge, I tend to stick with oatmeal (it’s the easiest to satisfy even the littlest member of the family). However, if I’m just cooking breakfast for myself, I make a cracked grain porridge. Running a grain in a coffee grinder or blender for a few pulses creates a mixture that…
Coconut Curry Popcorn
A healthy and savory snack that works well for movie night!
Curried Carrot Soup
a simple and delicious summer soup
One Pot Rice and Curried Butternut Squash
This one pot rice dish is a staple for fall cooking in my home. Sauté onions and garlic, add in the other ingredients, cover, and let sit for 45 minutes. After that, all that’s left is to eat! The original version of this dish is based on this paella recipe but I’ve morphed it into a…
Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall…
Red Lentil Masala with Spinach
I am always amazed at what inspiration come from the food blog community. There are wise words of wisdom, quirky anecdotes, and most of all, tons of amazing food. Every time I check out my favorite blogs, I find myself making notes on things I want to try or ideas I have for recipes. When…
Cucumber Quinoa Salad with Feta
When cucumbers are in season, it takes everything in my power to not combine them with tomatoes for every salad (like this sumac chickpea salad). Then I remember that I can make a refreshing, beautiful salad without the pop of red. I originally threw this cucumber quinoa salad together with ingredients I happen to have…
