It’s quick and easy to make, it’s chock-full of veggies, and, most importantly, it’s seriously PACKED with flavor. If you’re still a cauliflower rice skeptic, it’s time to give it a chance! I’m willing to bet that this recipe will make you love it. So, what exactly makes this cauliflower fried rice so flavorful?...
I’ve already shared my go-to method for roasted broccoli in the oven, but this version adds cheese to make the broccoli extra delicious! With our recipe, the tips of the broccoli turn a bit crispy, the stalks become tender, and the cheddar cheese melts down into all the nooks and crannies. If you love broccoli and cheddar, I highly recommend our broccoli cheddar soup. You can also check out more of our easy broccoli recipes on Inspired Taste....
I first made this cherry clafoutis recipe a few weeks ago, after a trip to the farmers market. Here in the Midwest, the cusp of July and August marks the start of tart cherry season. It’s a time I look forward to every year. The season is short – a month or a little less – so I always buy as many fresh cherries as I can. Usually, I bake them into crisps or blend them into sorbet, but when I saw this clafoutis recipe in Diala Canelo’s new cookbook Diala’s Kitchen, I knew I had to try it....
This double chocolate zucchini bread is moist, fudgy, and delicious. In the summertime, it’s my favorite way to satisfy a chocolate craving. It tastes just as decadent as a rich chocolate cake, but it’s made with healthier ingredients like whole wheat flour, maple syrup, and zucchini. Eating your vegetables has never tasted so good! Like my classic zucchini bread recipe, this recipe makes two loaves. They disappear pretty quickly in our house, but if you have extra, pop one loaf in the freezer for another day, or share it with a friend!...
I don’t post about it a lot, but seafood is actually a staple part of our diet. The only reason I haven’t featured more of it is that I can’t cook a good-looking piece of fish to save my life. I can make it taste good, but I’ve either poked the holy heck out of it, or it comes off the pan broken… and I just can’t get seem to get a picturesque sear when it counts....
This chipotle sauce will punch up any meal! It’s smoky, creamy, tangy, and easy to make with simple ingredients. I started making the recipe to put on the cauliflower tacos in my first cookbook, and now I love it on everything from burrito bowls to breakfast tacos to hearty salads. If you try it, I think you’ll fall for it too! I say this all the time, but I truly believe that the key to a great veggie meal (or any meal, really) is a great sauce....
This easy coleslaw recipe is great for just about any occasion—a weeknight dinner, a cookout, or a fun picnic lunch. Like all my favorite summer recipes, it’s packed with colorful veggies, and a lightly creamy, tangy dressing ties the whole thing together. It comes together in minutes, and it keeps well if you make it ahead of time. Just add veggie burgers, and you’ve got a perfect summer meal!...
Anyway, here’s how I make mine, the easy, quick version of Sambar Sadam made in a pressure cooker. What I Use: Rice – 1.5 cups I use ponni or basmati but the regular rice you use every day will work just fine. Toor / tuvar / kandi pappu / pigeon peas – 3/4 to 1 cup Tamarind – a marble-sized ball or 2 tbsp tamarind paste Chopped vegetables – 1....
Roasted carrots are the perfect side dish! They are sweet, colorful, and super easy to make. This basic method works for all kinds of roasted veggies, not just carrots! See our recipes for roasted butternut squash and roasted eggplant. I’ll share our best tips for roasting carrots, including what to do if you have baby carrots. For more carrot recipes, see our carrots with parsley butter or these honey roasted carrots....
When I was a kid, my family’s sugar cookie recipe was the first thing that brought us back into the kitchen after Thanksgiving. We’d spend the weekend after the holiday rolling out dough, cutting out festive shapes, and decorating the cookies once they were baked. To me, baking sugar cookies still feels like the first sign that Christmas is on its way, and this easy sugar cookie recipe is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!...
I’m excited for you to try these extra easy veggie tacos! Our family makes them all the time, and we love how you can adapt them to whatever produce is in season or in your fridge. These vegetable tacos are also good for you. One serving has under 300 calories, 11 grams of fiber, and 9 grams of protein. We also love the creamy cilantro sauce (shared in the recipe)....
Olives in jars. Different cuts of meat and fish. Freshly made pasta. drool Bottled pasta sauces from popular chefs. Fresh bread and focaccia. Really, endless! We ordered a cheese platter that came with 5 cheeses, come cuts of meat, fruit preserve, and fresh artisan bread. And because I knew I wouldn’t be able to remember the names of the cheeses, I took a picture of the name board. Price: USD 22++ Here you go....
Banana bread is one of my favourite things. There’s something to be said about the consistency of a banana bread, so intriguingly named because it’s actually more like a cake than bread but can be toasted like bread and with some salted butter on the side and a cup of coffee – ah, delicious! Some amazing banana-based recipes for you: Banana bread recipe with eggs Banana cake with cream cheese frosting Eggless banana chocolate cake Oatmeal cookies with banana and choc chips I baked my first banana bread with macadamia and it was a wonderful coincidence because the banana bread I tasted on my first visit to Australia was also a macadamia banana bread, so perfect and delicious....

When I first tried to become vegetarian (many years ago), the concept was so new to me that I didn’t really know what to eat. My go-to easy “meals” were those tiny cardboard-flavored frozen veggie burgers. I’d eat them for dinner and I’d bring them to cookouts… they tasted terrible and everyone around me thought I was a little crazy. It wasn’t long until I quit frozen veggie burgers altogether....
Making Chicken and Hummus Lettuce Wraps We are obsessed with these low-carb lettuce wraps. First, we fill lettuce leaves with hummus, veggies, feta cheese, and honey-dijon marinated chicken breast. Then, to top it all off, we drizzle over some dairy-free tahini sauce. For extra flavor, we marinate the chicken in a mixture of Dijon mustard, honey, and garlic, and then cook them on the stove. Don’t miss our tips below for cooking juicy skinless chicken breasts!...
Canned beans are convenient, but in terms of affordability, taste, and texture, dried beans have them beat. If you’ve never cooked dried beans before, don’t let it intimidate you! My method for how to cook beans is an easy, hands-off process with a huge payoff. They come out soft and creamy, with a rich, aromatic broth surrounding them. Hot from the stove with a ladle of cooking liquid, they’re good enough to enjoy as a meal on their own!...
The French 75 is hands down my favorite cocktail, and this lavender version is just so lovely for spring. I snipped these little lavender flowers from my garden and simmered them down into a simple syrup. Which sounds sort of romantic except that this lavender plant was swarming with scary bees. I held a pair of scissors at arms length and carefully tried to clip a few without getting too close....
