Here is my take on classic veggie fried rice. I included spam and fried egg into ours, but you can of course, keep this vegetarian by committing those ingredients. This is an incredible way to get extra veggies into your meal while still enjoying comfort food. Feel free to change out the types of veggies too and get creative. This recipe is really just one of those jumping-off points.
Read MoreAdding a crispy texture to the plate often means a fried or starchy component. Well here is a great alternative that is neither of those things. Its crispy baked cauliflower bites and you can make endless variations of it by simply changing the flavor profile in the sauce you coat them in before breeding. This week I made the dish with a pre-made ginger-lime peanut sauce to keep the prep work to a minimum and flavor to the max.

Imagine all of your favorite pizza toppings, hot gooey cheese, and your favorite zesty red pizza sauce, but now instead of on that bloat-inducing (delicious) crust you add a mountain of perfectly roasted zucchini and voila. I’m telling you even the littles in your house will gobble this up.
Read MoreIf you are out of ideas on how to use all of the beautiful red onions you’ve been getting in your produce boxes you are not alone. I’ve used them raw, pickled, and cooked directly into meals. However, I wanted to try an additional preparation where they are the star ingredient. So here I’ve roasted them with a few simple pantry staples and they are an incredible addition to just about any meal you have planned this week.
Read MoreI’m a sucker (like many others) for steakhouse sides. This is a copycat for one of my all-time favorites. If you have ever been to Houston’s restaurant (which in some parts of the country is now called HillStone) you might recognize this one. It’s perfectly braised red cabbage that is sweet and ever so slightly vinegary from the braising liquid but the addition of the creamy goat cheese at the end makes it addicting and craveable. It has a long cook time, but it’s very hands-off besides some occasional stirring so don’t be intimidated the most important part is starting it early enough with your mealtime in mind.
Read MoreSometimes we just don’t need to overcomplicate things. I for some reason always forget how simple and delicious roasted vegetables are. Here I just did a little twist on some roasted carrots by adding spicy honey and fresh herbs. Once you nail these try the same trick with other roasted veggies to spruce them up. You can try various herbs too I can’t imagine any that would be bad.
Read MoreIf you are looking for a more nutrient-dense alternative to whipped potatoes, Ive got you! Cup for cup celery root has about half the calories, half the carbs, 3x the calcium, and equal fiber to russet potatoes. You can enjoy the celery root puree in this recipe on its own of course, but I was serving it as a full vegetarian meal so the addition of the roasted beets and caramelized onions rounded it out nicely.
Read MoreHere is a recipe that literally takes 5 mins of prep then 30-40 mins in the oven. So it’s great for a weeknight side. I like to pair it with other Japanese cuisines or flavors like sushi or Japanese-inspired fried rice.
Read MoreThis zucchini dish can be grilled or roasted, served as a side or as a complete meal, and tweaked in so many ways you could eat variations of it all season long without repeating. Today’s version is grilled zucchini with a base of creamy yogurt & feta then topped with a crumble made or sundried tomatoes and almonds. After you perfect this then try it with a different nut, a different cheese, or swap yogurt for sour cream, and so forth. This was so good I made it twice this week, hope you enjoy!
Read MoreOur family has been trying to eat less starch and more veggies this year. However, sometimes we still get cravings for those comfort foods we all grew up on. When I came across a recipe for Cauliflower mac n’ cheese, I thought it would never be as good as the original…boy was I wrong! This is so decadent and cheesy I definitely didn’t miss the pasta and felt better walking away from the table too.
Read MoreThis is the first time I’ve made this dish and it was delicious! I think it would make a great and unexpected side for the holidays. The inspirational recipe I saw a while back originally called for fresh cranberries that get cooked down however, I chose to swap them for fresh pomegranate seeds. The seeds made for the perfect sweet/tart pop against the warm and nutty flavors of the squash. Throw in some salty feta cheese and you have a party for your palette:)

I made this sauce at the start of the week with no one specific use in mind. However we ended up using it on so many different dishes (eggs, salads, chicken, steak, and grilled vegetables) I kind of think its something I should make more often. I hope you like it just as much.
Read MoreThis cucumber salad is light, refreshing, packs a punch of Asian flavor, and best of all can be made in just a few short minutes. I made this for a quick lunch one day, but it can just as easily be made a few hours ahead of time and make a great side dish to your dinner.
Read MoreOne of my favorite preparations of kohlrabi is to simply roast it with salt, pepper, and oil. This method will caramelize the vegetable beautifully and enhance its natural sweetness.
