shredded brussels sprouts + fall vegetable salad w/ garlicky orange tahini...

fall veg + lentil bowl w/ goji ginger tahini cream

cozy + healthy: superfood lattes

I usually walk into my local health food store for a crusty loaf of multi-seed sourdough and maybe a re-up of brown basmati rice. But also… I almost always walk out with 3 sample size packets of...

Sara’s amazing tahini dressing + a healthy bowl

ginger carrot bisque from “Food52 Vegan”

I’ve been making meals and bits from cookbooks whenever I have the chance lately. It’s a very chill (and also necessary) break from my own cookbook stuff. Lots of Ina classics in the mix (obviously),...

STUFFED & SAUCED SWEET POTATOES FROM “MINIMALIST BAKER’S EVERYDAY COOKING”

The stuffed sweet potato is no stranger to our weekday dinnertimes, but this iteration is easily the best one we’ve had in a while. The tahini sauce here has a perfect amount of zip from fresh ginger...

THE ULTIMATE VEGAN SNACK BOARD

LEGITIMATELY CRISPY BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH ROASTED GARLIC TAHINI...

HARISSA CHICKPEA BOWL WITH POTATOES, LEMON TAHINI & GREENS

NO BAKE OATMEAL COOKIE BITES FROM “THE MINIMALIST KITCHEN”

If there’s a new and flashy plant-based food product , I generally have to try it. New dairy-free ice creams, cultured vegan “cheeses,” the plant-based milk-du-jour. You get the idea. A lot of it is...

BASIL TAHINI PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS & BURST TOMATOES
