Even though they may not be in season, I couldn’t resist roasting up some sweet corn and tomatoes to go with the crab meat (definitely keep this recipe on hand for the summertime when the corn and tomatoes will be perfectly sweet). This alfredo sauce is a bit lighter than the traditional recipe and I … Crab Alfredo with Roasted Sweet Corn and Cherry Tomatoes
I’ve made lots of tofu dishes in my chef career. I like it so much that I’m actually teaching a tofu themed cooking class this month! It’s such a versatile ingredient and I love the texture that it brings to stews and stir-fries. This heavily spiced tikka masala dish is bursting with flavor and is … Tofu and Chickpea Tikka Masala
I am a huge advocate of adding plant-based meals to your diet. Not only are they cheaper, but you feel nourished and satisfied every time you eat them. This chili is one of my favorite meals to make at the beginning of the week and enjoy for lunch because it gets better the longer it … Veggie-Loaded Red Lentil Chili (Instant Pot)
My husband got me a stocking full of giardiniera this year (we are weird, I know). That may sound crazy, but it doesn’t last long in our house! I love it on everything from pasta to potatoes.

In my opinion, tacos are one of the best foods (I’m sure you all agree). I love playing around with different flavor combinations and making them super colorful. My husband and I have recently been using ground bison for a variety of recipes because it’s lean, protein-packed and delicious. After we ate these, we both … Ground Bison Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw and Creamy Salsa
With thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m trying to fill my fridge with some light, healthy meals to enjoy until then. Like any curry dish, this gets better the longer it sits, so I actually prefer to make it ahead of time. The toasty cashews add creaminess and nuttiness (as well as a nice dose … Veggie Cashew Korma with Toasted Coconut Quinoa
The smell of sweet squash baking in the oven is reason alone to make this for dinner (and the spiced beef mixture adds a whole other dimension of fragrance and flavor).

You give me any food that’s sweet and salty and I’m in.
