I know October is supposed to be all pumpkin-crazy, but we’re still eating tomatoes around here. Apparently my garden hasn’t gotten the memo, and neither has the weather. We’ve still got chard growing, too. I never thought chard cobbler would be on my radar but I’m so glad it was. But still. It’s October and …

My favorite part about this hearty, vegetarian quinoa salad is the sweet dressing made from lemon-infused oil! The whole thing is so light and fresh.
I’ve spent over 17 years trying to get kids to eat vegetables – often with success! I created this pasta recipe for two of my toddlers, and they inhaled it! It’s not just for toddlers, though. If you’re looking for a fun way to incorporate green food into your life, you’ll love this easy pasta …
When my daughters were little and obsessed with Tangled, I decided to try my hand at Hazelnut Soup. Since I’m both an expert at soup and little girls, this went over REALLY well. They were thrilled and loved eating Rapunzel’s favorite soup!
Egg Curry is an easy, meatless Indian-style curry! Creamy hard cooked eggs simmered in a lovely spiced tomato gravy makes a comforting vegetarian meal any night of the week.
Pesto Eggplant Roll-Ups are a great way to use leftover pesto. And it might even convert an eggplant hater or two!
Mango Cucumber Rice Salad is a perfect summertime meal with some grilled chicken! Don’t turn on the oven unless you absolutely have to!
How often do you see carrots with the greens still attached? They’re so pretty. I wonder if cutting their greens makes them feel like their “hair” is getting chopped off? If carrots had feelings, that is. Speaking of feelings… I have mixed feelings toward beets. They’re probably the most gorgeous color found in nature, but …
Roasted cabbage is a quick, easy, and inexpensive side dish! The fresh dill is a perfect compliment.
When we first started participating in a CSA program in California, the biggest adjustment I had to make was cooking with greens. I distinctly remember pulling a bundle of rainbow chard from the box, almost the length of my arm, wondering what the heck I was going to do with it. And wondering what it …
With nearly 75 delicious Mexican-inspired recipes on my site, it’s safe to say that I ADORE these flavors. A great salsa recipe elevates anything you put it on, and you’ll love this roasted tomatillo salsa with a twist of smoky chipotle!
Have you ever tried a Veggie Enchilada Casserole? Packed with roasted vegetables, sweet salsa and gooey cheese, it’s a wholesome and delicious twist on a classic Mexican favorite.
My little ones loved assembling these foil packet tacos and sweet potatoes make a great base for a taco! You can even take these camping!
Don’t hate me for saying this, but I don’t think it’s gotten over 70 degrees here for the past two weeks. While 65 degree weather isn’t ideal for playing in the hose outside, it’s awfully better (to me) than 95 degrees. Especially since our home isn’t air-conditioned. I feel like fall has already arrived. Hello, …
I’m a sucker for fresh corn in the summer. My all-time favorite way of making fresh corn is turning it into elote or Mexican corn on the cob — rolled in spiced mayo and cotija cheese. But when I don’t feel like getting my face covered in cheese and sauce, this flavorful, fresh bowl of grilled …
I have a whole section of my website dedicated to grilling. Not just burgers, but all kinds of protein and vegetables! I would grill everything all the time if I could! I love adding fun twists on traditional grilled recipes and this grilled zucchini recipe is the perfect example of that.
If you’re wondering what that orange stuff is in the jar, it’s the sun-dried tomato-soaked olive oil that solidified after being in the fridge. Once upon a trip to Costco, I bought a giant jar of sun-dried tomatoes on a whim. After using them off and on throughout our six years of marriage (not …
As a professional healthy-focused recipe creator, I try to make my recipes nutritious, flavorful, and easy to make. This vegetable curry checks all of my boxes with the added bonus of being colorful!
Two ingredient guacamole! Because we don’t always feel like dragging out a cutting board. And sometimes our cilantro is slimy.
This is the BEST way to make roasted broccoli and have those caramelized crispy bits! No more soggy, overcooked broccoli.
Part Three: the ginger rice. I saved the best for last. It may look like plain old rice, but it’s far from it. I could seriously eat an entire pot of this myself. With nothing else on it. I’m not joking. There’s a catch, though. You must like ginger to like this rice. The ginger …
