Do you have any leftover Brussels sprouts? Good. Here's what to do. Get up from your computer (or, more likely, put down your iPhone) and go look in your fridge. Do you have any leftover roasted Brussels sprouts? Or any cooked vegetables at all, for that matter? You do? Yes! Then you are ...
Raw Pad Thai with Spicy Almond Sauce
OMG you guys, this sauce. I ate so much of it off the spoon as I was prepping to photograph this dish that I was worried for a second that there wouldn't be enough left. Seriously, it is SO GOOD. Creamy almond butter, tart lime juice, fresh ginger and garlic, and tons of sriracha. When did ...
Slow Cooker Ratatouille with Fried Eggs
I feel like there is a major conundrum with ratatouille. Yes, it's made with decidedly summery vegetables--eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini--but it still seems to me like a cold weather dish. At its essence, ratatouille is a hearty vegetable stew, thick and chunky, and exactly the kind of thing you ...
Cuban Black Bean Quesadillas
I've been hearing rumors that this winter is going to be even worse than last year. It's kind of hard to believe, isn't it? We got so much snow that our roof started leaking in two places, and it seemed like once a week Owen's daycare was cancelled and either Alex or I had to stay home from work to ...
Two Yolk Apple Quinoa Frittata
You guys, I realized that I've been holding out on you. I like to think that I post "real" food on my blog--the same dishes that my family eats for dinner, the same cookies we treat ourselves to for dessert. And that's definitely true. But there are also things we eat all the time that I have never ...
Zucchini Noodles with Jalapeño Pesto
I scoffed. I made fun. I dug in my heels. And then two weeks ago I caved and bought a spiralizer. I know I'm late to the game. The Internet has been making zucchini noodles for ages now. But honestly, it's taken me this long to get on board with the whole concept. For one, I'm not a huge pasta ...
Vegan Zucchini Tomato Gratin
I am way, way too excited about this post. I've been dying to share this recipe with you for months now, but I figured I should wait until zucchini was in season. Even though, to be completely honest, I made it a few times over the winter with supermarket squash and tomatoes flown in from who ...
Vegan Stuffed Tomatoes
To say that I have a lot of cookbooks is like saying the Kardashians take a lot of selfies. My first job out of college was as an editorial assistant in the cookbook division of HarperCollins, and there were free copies everywhere. And not just the ones that we published—every day they came in the ...
Artichoke and Olive-Stuffed Portobellos
I realized there is a bit of a lack of main course recipes on this blog. I promise it's not because I'm secretly pairing all these vegetable dishes with a cheeseburger! (Only sometimes…) No, really it's because my favorite way to eat is to throw a few different sides together and call it a meal. If ...
Sweet Potato and Corn Quesadillas
I had this random sweet potato sitting on the counter for weeks. It was leftover from some soup I made. I was planning to roast it or mash it or do something with it, but I kept forgetting. So it sat there withering away, until it was so wrinkly and soft that I tossed it out. Then literally two days ...
