Roasted Tomato & Cauliflower Kale Salad
Another salad to add to my collection of September salads, this Roasted Tomato & Cauliflower Kale enjoys the last bits of summer (tomatoes) and the new fall produce (cauliflower). Learn more about these September Salads and get more inspo here. So far, I’ve been using this Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette on repeat for these salads. Preserved […]

Looking for a comforting and cozy recipe? This pasta is it- especially because it’s quick and easy. Not only does it take 30 minutes, but the steps are super simple and have minimal clean up. It’s the perfect recipe for the novice cook or someone looking for a straightforward weekend night meal. A few notes […]
Hoisin Beef & Cauliflower Tacos
This dish came about on a whim- I was looking for a way to use leftover hoisin beef. While these flavors are unconventional, everything just works. Strong flavors comes from both the roasted cauliflower doused in Trader Joe’s Everything but the Elote seasoning and the hoisin beef. A pop of quick pickled radishes balances it […]
Sheet Pan Orange Roasted Chicken with Carrots & Cauliflower
I’m currently obsessed with sheet pan meals. Maybe its the colder weather- plus the realization that they are the BEST weeknight meal ever. Every time I make one, I become more obsessed with just how practical they are. Within about an hour, you have an all-in-one meal that requires minimal cleaning and prep and is […]
Summer Corn Risotto
This recipe is a bit outside my normal flavors, which is why I’m loving it right now. It’s like Mother Nature knows I have plans to cook this, because every time I’ve made this it’s been on a rainy day that calls for a comforting and cozy recipe. This recipe is true to me- meaning […]
Roasted Cauliflower Macaroni & Cheese
I saw this pasta that was loaded with cheese but also cauliflower and immediately knew this would be a hit for a winter vegetarian dish. I’ve changed this recipe to be healthier by 1) adding cottage cheese for protein 2) adding more vegetables- more cauliflower, greens, and leeks! 3) using chickpea pasta. But don’t worry, […]
Super Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin
Looking for a holiday side dish? This cauliflower gratin smothered in cheese checks both boxes of 1) a relatively healthy dish with lots of vegetables (and a decent amount of protein) and 2) comfort food. It bridges the gap between those who want all the veggies and those who generally stay away from them. I’ve […]
Paleo Tomato Risotto
Whatever dietary restrictions or goals you may have, this is a recipe that probably hits at least one of them.. dairy free, keto, paleo, grain free, perfect for leftovers b/c it keeps well and is easy to reheat, and full of veggies (and good for those who may not necessarily love veggies). The most important: […]
Tomato Risotto with Cauliflower Rice
This is seriously one of my best creations I’ve made in a while. While the judges on Top Chef would not approve (seriously has anyone made a risotto they liked in all of the seasons?!), I’m seriously proud of this recipe. As soon as I tasted it, I knew it was a hit. When I […]
Spring Pot Roast with Purple Daikon & Carrots
So pot roasts are not normally my thing, but I’ve been trying to branch out and get more variety in my recipes. The flavors in the broth/sauce and vegetables in this recipe drew me in and gave me the push I needed. Then I went to the market and they had these BEAUTIFUL purple daikon […]
Veggie-Packed Fried Rice (With Paleo Option)
Forgive me on the photo- it was on a weekday and it was rainy! It’s not the best, but it still gets the point across. Anyway- this is a good go-to when you want something that has a lot of vegetables and is quite quick to make! A couple of ways I made this work […]
Barely a Recipe: Quinoa, Brown Rice, & Cauliflower Pilaf
So there are a couple of ways to do this. I’ve done this the super speedy way- using frozen brown rice, quinoa, and cauliflower rice- which works super well and is an easy way to have a huge batch of this ASAP. Orrrrrrr you can cook the brown rice and quinoa separately and then add […]
Raisin & Toasted Pinenut “Rice” Pilaf
So I’ve been a big cauliflower rice fan for a while. Particularly now that you can buy it in most grocery stores (I like the ones in the frozen section), it’s very convenient! It’s actually easier and quicker than rice. By adding a few other ingredients, this side dish is one that can hold its own […]
North African Chicken, Date, & Cauliflower One-Pan Dinner
Ever since I made Smitten Kitchen’s Chicken Tikka, I’ve been a bit obsessed with sheet-pan dinners. Everything on one pan, vegetables and protein? Boom. It’s quick, and delicious. I’ve done this now with a Harissa Sea Bass + Sweet Potato, as well as a Curry Chicken + Broccoli. Those recipes will come, but this […]
