Autumn is in full swing, and, dare I say, winter is heavily looming. During this time of year, our tastebuds turn to meals that warm our chilly bones and speak to what’s in season. You’ll find us noshing on a lot of one bowl meals – warm salads, if you will. This Butternut Squash Farro…
Main Dishes
Messy Susan Sandwich
This Messy Susan Sandwich is the Sloppy Joe’s kinder, healthier, and just-as-tasty sister. A perfect recipe for a week when when fancy, labor-intensive dishes are on the docket. These sandwiches are low maintenance and simple to throw together, they make fantastic leftovers, and there’s no need to fuss over how pretty (or “unpretty”) they look….
Loaded Mexican Sweet Potato
Loaded Mexican Sweet Potato = dinner in < 10 minutes. This recipe is concocted from ingredients we always have on-hand: sweet potatoes, canned beans, avocado, greens (fresh or frozen), salsa, and nutritional yeast. Like most of our recipes, the base of this one is a blueprint. No salsa? Use BBQ sauce or salad dressing. No canned…
Veggie Casado
The conversation is playing over and over in my head. We were in a taxi on our way back to the airport in Costa Rica. Our driver, Randall, asked us if we enjoyed the local food. Boy, did we. When I told him how much we loved his beloved Casado, the fresh mangos, and el…
Sesame Ginger Miso Manly Bowl
That’s a mouthful… I hacked this recipe after having something similar at a restaurant. I usually don’t get these right on the first try, but this time I did. We loved it. Enjoy!

Vegan Ramen
This savory vegan Ramen has quickly become a staple at our house. It’s an umami bomb thanks to a mix of mushrooms, soy sauce, miso paste, and toasty tahini. It’s so good, we usually double or triple the recipe and eat it several times in the same week. Enjoy! 5.0 from 1 reviews…
Snack Lunch
A snack lunch can hardly be called a recipe. Rather, it’s a suggestion for rethinking what lunch looks like. On weeks when meal planning and kitchen time are limited, this is our go-to lunchtime hack. Last weekend, our standard grocery store trip and meal prep time didn’t quite fit in our busy itinerary. BUT we’re…
Basic Peanut Stir Fry
I can’t believe we haven’t shared this one with you yet. I’m convinced you’ll quickly adopt it as a staple meal. This Basic Peanut Stir Fry made an appearance on our weekly menu especially frequently when I was in grad school when money and time were hard to come by. But you don’t have to be…
Tempeh Marinara with Spaghetti Squash
I’m pretty sure I could eat Tempeh Marinara with Spaghetti Squash every single day. If you’re a pasta lover, this recipe is for you. The tempeh gives the sauce a hearty, “meaty” texture. The mushrooms lend a satisfying savory flavor. The spaghetti squash gives the satisfaction of a heaping bowl of pasta. Mangia!
Brussels Sprout Tofu Quiche
Eggs are called many things- incredible, edible, the “perfect” protein. I bet you’ve heard you’re supposed to snack on hardboiled eggs and load up your breakfast with egg whites (but skip the whole grain toast). Guess what? This is all false! …And mostly marketing. Even just one egg a day may be too much. In…
