Generally, I don’t dig raw food. I find it hard to digest and truly, I just prefer the texture of slightly mushy cooked veggies. I am a toddler, apparently. Great news, though: this isn’t the case for everyone! If you…

stuffed portobello mushroom with tofu + garlic-pepper quinoa.
I’ve been working lately with a number of clients looking to create simple, quick weeknight dinners – half-planned and shopped for, and half thrown together using whatever’s in the kitchen. There’s something nice about knowing you have something nourishing and…

ginger-citrus tofu powerbowl with bok choy + cashews.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about food and its connection with guilt and body shaming and self-loathing and control and feelings of wrongness. Nice and light, right? ;) It seems like almost every woman I have spoken to lately…

crispy baked tofu with shredded veggie quinoa.
I read a great article this week from Summer Tomato on finding your ideal weight. It’s something that I – and I think most people I know – think about a lot. Despite being on this crazy food-body-health journey for…

cauliflower-brazil nut puree with crispy tofu.
Can we talk for a second about mashed potatoes? They’re sort of the quintessential comfort food, and let’s be real: there’s not a ton going on with them in their plainest form, neither nutritionally or in terms of taste. They’re…

homemade chickpea socca with sauteed spinach and vegan cheese.

balsamic baked tofu with cumin-scented quinoa.
The test of a solid tofu recipe is when non-vegans actually enjoy it. Like, finish it and then Facebook you about it afterwards. This was the case following a dinner with friends a few weeks ago and I was relieved…

vegan sweet potato shepherd’s pie.

vegan eggplant roll-ups with hemp-basil pesto.

buckwheat bowl with roasted veggies.
It’s 6:00pm. You’re done at work and heading home, dreading the task of making dinner that lies ahead of you. You’re exhausted, you’re a little irritated (traffic/transit/the weather is just irksome today!), and you’re famished. The last thing that sounds…

vegan no-mayo potato salad.
