Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? This black bean and squash torta doesn’t disappoint! Inspired by one of my favorite lunch spots in Denver, Moxie, this is a hearty sandwich, super flavorful with a hint of spice. Plus, I love that it’s a hot sandwich, which makes it great to enjoy in the wintertime. You all know I am not eating cold food on a…
Pico de gallo, the rooster’s beak, or so it directly translates from Spanish. A strange name for a tasty salsa. Also known as salsa fresca or fresh sauce. A more fitting name, but I prefer the more eclectic pico de gallo. Whatever you want to call it, this simple salsa recipe is a timeless classic. It’s easy to make and only requires a few ingredients….
I am obsessed with this spicy chipotle cashew crema. It’s super easy to make and amazingly delicious, I mean, like lickable good. This creamy, yet dairy-free sauce is perfect on tacos, as a sandwich spread, or I’ve even used it as a chip dip, and it totally hit the spot. The best part, you can whip up this crave-worthy sauce in a jiffy. Secret in…
This southwest quinoa bowl is one of our go-to weeknight meals. It is super quick to whip up, delicious, and extremely nutritious. Plus, there is just something about this avocado and tomatillo sauce that my kids absolutely love. If I put it on anything, they will gobble it right up. Kids sitting down to a healthy dinner of quinoa, beans, and veggies and getting up…
If you love avocados, you’ve got to try this delicious green goop. It’s seriously good. I may have just eaten a spoonful after loading up multiple scoops on my southwest quinoa bowl. This sauce is creamy, mildly spicy, has a citrus punch, and is finished off with some tasty fresh cilantro. With only whole food ingredients, this is a healthy sauce you can feel good…
I love a tasty spicy pepper jam. It’s one of my favorite breakfast condiments. Sweet, a little spicy—it’s such a good topping for a breakfast sandwich. Pepper jelly can be a pricey splurge in the store or at the farmers’ market. Once I realized how easy it is to make and how few peppers it takes, it just didn’t make sense to keep buying it….
Want to enjoy the fresh, bold flavors of summer? Look no further than this nasturtium pesto recipe. Made with nasturtium leaves, walnuts, nutritional yeast, and garlic. This simple spread is delicious on crackers or as a pasta sauce. When we moved into our new (new to us anyway) 1796 farmhouse in Maine, we had a low spot in the yard that was constantly a mud…
I am a sucker for artisan crackers. It all started many years ago when those fancy Raincoast Crisp crackers hit the market. My mother-in-law bought them for Thanksgiving one year, and I was hooked. More recently I’ve come to love the Firehook baked crackers. They are so good, but so simple! I started to feel guilty about my expensive cracker indulgence, so I decided to…
This is another Otis recipe! My youngest son, Otis, loves to experiment in the kitchen. Like mom, he likes to raid the cookbook aisle at the library and try new recipes. This recipe came from one of such experimentations. It is nothing that I would have pursued making on my own, but Otis took charge, and we made our first nice cream recipe. I was…
This plant based sloppy joes recipe is loaded with beans and veggies, slowly cooked down in a yummy homemade BBQ sauce. It’s delightfully delicious, the ultimate summer picnic food. I love a good sandwich, and this one is right up there on my favorites of comfort food. It’s something I have to make a couple of times each summer. I just crave it! I’ve also…
