Carrot Rice Noodle Bowl with Tahini-Sriracha Sauce
I’ve yet to jump on the spiralizer train but this rice noodle bowl is about as close as I come. You could easily use spiralized carrots in this recipe but I prefer the slightly larger ribbons of carrots, using a vegetable peeler. I recommend making this bowl right before eating as the rice noodles soak…

Grilled Carrots with Chermoula
When I first moved my diet towards being whole foods/plant based, summer family get-togethers were tough. I’d go and attempt to pick at the food options which nearly always consisted of the traditional American cookout: burgers/hot dogs, chips, potato salad, and coleslaw. This usually meant I’d leave hungry and have to run home to eat before doing…
Roasted Carrots and Couscous with Gremolata

Groovy Bagel Melt
It’s Friday and I’m on vacation, which means a super short post for a super quick ‘recipe’. This sandwich comes straight from one of my favorite coffee shops in Galesburg, Illinois.
