There is nothing I love more than a dish with cashews and raisins. I don’t know what it is about the combination, but I’m OBSESSED! Add pineapples to the mix and I’m absolutely over the moon! So if you’re anything like me, you’ll love this Quinoa Pineapple Fried Rice! Last […]

Sun Dried Tomato + Broccoli with White Wine Pasta Sauce
Pasta is life. Plain and simple. I’m convinced that my goal in life is to create and discover ALL the ways to enjoy pasta in its many variations. It’s so versatile and can be easily paired with a variety of dishes. When I think about it, I realize that a […]
Simple Tomato+Basil Soup
Well folks, it’s no secret… It’s cold outside. At least here in North Carolina it is (I envy those of you in warmer temperatures). What’s the best way to warm up? With warm+hearty foods like this tomato basil soup! One of my favorite “weekend foods” growing up was a nice, […]
Vegan Cranberry Sausage Stuffing
Can I tell you a secret? I haven’t had stuffing in YEARS. It’s been so long that I actually can’t even remember the last time I had it. When I think about it, it’s actually pretty strange because my love for bread and carbs runs deep. Like, really deep. My […]
Mixed Roasted Veggies + Raisins
Sometimes I just want a simple meal. One that doesn’t require a lot of prep or thought. Just something I can cook and toss in a bowl over some rice and call it a day. I think one of the common misconceptions about eating plant-based is the idea that eating […]
Curried Red Beans + Turmeric Rice

Fancy Mexican Rice
A few weeks ago I posted a simple Mexican rice recipe paired with re-fried beans. Mexican rice one of my favorite things to make and it makes for a great side! After posting the initial recipe, I wondered if it were possible to make this recipe into more of an entree, […]
Kumpir
This dish was inspired by my summer travels to Istanbul, Turkey (if you missed the post, here it is!). In researching common street foods for Istanbul, Kumpir was one of those that came up quite frequently. In fact, once we started roaming around, Kumpir was EVERYWHERE! “What is Kumpir?” you […]
Spinach Pesto
Prior to this experiment, I’d never made spinach pesto. I’d seen plenty of recipes that went on and on about how easy it was, but I opted not to make my own version because I was convinced that the one I frequently purchased from Trader Joe’s was good enough. Well, […]
Rice+Veggie Spring Rolls
Can you believe September is right around the corner? This summer was super eventful and flew by so quickly. It’s hard to believe I’ll be starting my last year of school soon and my work-load will be back in full swing! This is why for the past few weeks I’ve […]
