When it comes to cozy meals that warm you from the inside out, yellow curry is at the forefront. A deliciously easy and flavorful recipe that promises to be a crowd-pleaser and become a part of your weekly dinner rotation. Just a handful of really good ingredients, and a perfect place to hide copious amounts of veg. This recipe comes together quickly and it’s easy to customize for both vegan and vegetarian options. The curry itself is very rich and luscious, but dairy-free by design. You’re going to love it!

If you enjoy homemade sushi, paella, hearty soups, creamy risotto or orzo-like fresh salads; a new variety of products has just entered the market. It offers a rice-like experience, sans any of the white starches/sugar. It’s not orzo and…… Continue reading Creamy Tomato Risotto

Easy Cajun Shrimp Pasta

You’ve been warned: this unassuming little recipe is dynamite. Let’s face it-Cajun Shrimp has been a favorite of mine ever since I can remember. My childhood BFF is from New Orleans and cajun and creole cuisine has always had a soft spot in my heart. I virtually had lunch with this guy and our group of friends every single day throughout high school; and I always got to try the awesome food they packed him. We would often trade lunch items back and forth; picking and choosing what we would both eat from whatever our moms packed for us that day.

Cashew Rosé Ratatouille Pasta

This colorful and heathy spin on a classic Ratatouille casserole is both; hearty and deliciously light. I added garden zucchini, bell peppers in every color, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplants and onions. The vegetables are slow roasted and then stewed in a creamy, dreamy rosé sauce made from none other than cashews that have been pre-soaked. I love the rich dairy-like feel, without any of the heavy cream that typically goes into this sauce.

Cue in warmer (Spring-is) mostly Summer weather and I’m all about these cold and creamy pasta salads that have a long fridge life, are ready in a whim, and save your life for quick, weeknight dinners. Or even better; make you look like a pantry superstar at the next family dinner or potluck with friends. Everyone will love it and ask you for the recipe. They make the best side dish or are easily customizable into a main dish by simply adding your favorite protein.

WHO doesn’t enjoy an easy, hearty and delicious weeknight dinner that offers all the coziness of homestyle cooking- while playing off the hassle-free aspect of one-pan meals? With March being Nutrition Month, I wanted to share a dish that not only delivers on fiber and vitamins, but that requires minimal effort, AKA: this meal literally cooks itself. Bonus: it tastes like your mother’s cooking. It does for me, at least!

Creamy, Healthy Penne A La Vodka

Here’s my ode to a la Vodka pasta sauce, with my very own rich sauce that’s entirely dairy-free. FYI-traditional a la Vodka sauce is essentially: tomato puree or marinara, heavy cream, butter, parmesan, and vodka all combined to create the dreamiest, tastiest sauce. I use tomato puree or a good quality marinara to mix into mine. In fact, the blog now has its own homemade marinara sauce recipe, in case you want to try the ultimate treat!
