I served this dish over black rice but any rice…

Summer Soba Noodles
A perfect dinner dish for a hot summer night. A super nutrient dish dish with bok choy, red peppers, carrots, scallions, buckwheat soba noodles topped with sesame seeds makes this dish high in fiber, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, and beta carotene. I often serve this dish with baked tofu or I get the grilled sweet chili tofu from Whole Foods and serve…

Island Back Bean Bowl
Ok, I am really into "bowls" lately. I love them because you can get really creative and they come together quickly. I think about building them like this..... Start with a grain, such as rice, farro, quinoa, millet, barley or a non grain but something starchy like a potato. Add a vegetable protein like beans, tofu, seitan, or tempeh. Add at least…

Farro and Veggie Power Bowl with Peanut Sauce
This is a fast, healthy and delicious after work dinner favorite. This dish comes together in no time, especially if you have premade the farro the night before, or over the weekend. The peanut sauce is so good and you will have plenty left over. My favorite way to use the left over peanut sauce is to pour it over steamed chinese cabbage or bok choy…

It is slightly more labor intensive than most of my other recipes, but it is so worth the extra effort! This recipe is inspired by a cooking class I did years ago with Mark Reinfeld. I…

Sheet Pan Mexican Veggie Dinner
Another winning recipe from Alexis from Hummisapien. Check out her web site here. I am all about tasty, fast, and flexible. Like you, I am a busy person just trying to stay as healthy as I can so when I cook it has to meet four criteria. 1. It must be nutrient dense. 2. It can't take longer than one hour to make. 3. It has to taste really good. 4.…

Orange Tahini Buddha Bowl
This is recipe is adapted from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book, "Isa Does It." Isa's recipes are always a slam dunk for me. Easy to use ingredients and no complicated techniques. This dish is pretty and light, and a perfect summer time supper dish. I used black rice to provide a color contrast against the tofu and bok choy. Enjoy! Ingredients Marinade ½…

Chipotle Cauliflower Tacos
I adapted this recipe from a Meatless Monday recipe in the May/June 2017 issue of Cooking Light Magazine. It was so good, I had to share! I really appreciate that they point out in a side bar of the recipe that trading in a pound of ground beef for cauliflower in your tacos, saves about 1,800 gallons of water. So this recipe made with cauliflower…

Veggies, Soba and Peanut Bowl
During the summer, I like to make dishes that are fresh, cool and satisfying. I saw this recipe on the Making Thyme for Health's blog and was inspired to make it. I ended up using my "go to" peanut sauce recipe instead of their recipe because I really like it. This dish is SO good and takes no time to put together. Click here for Making Thyme for…
