Raise your hand if you love pesto! Now raise your hand if you're allergic to, or avoiding, nuts... We've got a pretty special recipe just for you! This pumpkin seed pesto is 100% dairy and nut free, AND 100% delicious! I chose to use arugula to add a peppery bite to my pesto. And because -- let's be real -- it was in the fridge! You can use any leafy green that you like. Spinach, mixed ...

Cauliflower Walnut “Meat” Taco Salad Bowl (Vegan)
Let's taco 'bout how amazing these taco salad bowls are. (Sorry, couldn't help it!) These salad bowls are so pretty and so delicious, no one will notice the "meat" is vegan. Not even your meat-loving boyfriend! I've been seeing more and more variations on taco "meat" substitutes in my instagram feed lately, so I thought I better check it out. And let me just tell you, I am SO glad I ...
Warm Brussels Sprouts and Pear Salad
This maybe one of the best salads I have ever made. Not to toot my own horn, but seriously, the textures and the flavors of this salad really compliment each other in such a way that I want to make this over and over! The dressing is my go-to! I make this dressing probably once or twice a month and always have it on hand. It goes on any salad, whether you're tossing up a nice cobb, putting ...
Popcorn Cauliflower
This recipe comes as a specific request from Ellen and I am excited to share it with you today: my mom's Popcorn Cauliflower! The ingredients are insanely simple: cauliflower, sea salt, and olive oil. That's it! This is all about the roasting, or as my mom calls it - caramelizing with salt. Cauliflower is high in Vitamin C, helps fight inflammation, and improves digestion and ...
Jeweled Cauliflower Rice (Whole30 + Paleo)
If you've never had Persian or Iranian jeweled rice, you're in for a treat! This delicious side dish is aromatic, fruity, and truly beautiful due to the addition of nuts, berries, orange zest, saffron and spices. It's traditionally served at weddings or large celebrations on big platters. While on the Whole30, I was looking for some fun dishes that would keep me motivated and excited about ...
Oven Roasted Curry Cauliflower
Last week, I tried this amazing new restaurant in my neighborhood, Restaurant Chloe, and had the most phenomenal tahini cauliflower. I snapped a photo of the ingredients on the menu knowing full-well that I was going to make this at home. In an effort to use what I had at home, I altered the ingredients but still found a way to get that flavorful roasted cauliflower that I loved at the ...
Arugula Green Smoothie
Smoothies are my favorite way to utilize all the fruit leftover in the fridge or the handful of greens I've got hanging around (from that kale salad I made earlier this week). Most green smoothie recipes call for spinach or kale, but after whipping up this delicious cauliflower pizza with arugula salad on top, I had a good bit of arugula left over. So I thought, hey, why not toss some arugula in ...
Cauliflower Pizza with Arugula Salad
Can I get an Amen for cauli-crust? Pre-packaged cauliflower pizza crust was one of the biggest game-changers for us in 2017. In case you're not familiar, cauliflower pizza crust is a low-carb alternative to traditional whole-wheat pizza crust. Although our homemade cauliflower pizza crust definitely takes the cake, this pre-made crust from Trader Joe's is nice to have in a pinch. When it ...
Rice Pilaf with Asparagus + Peas
While I love to experiment with new recipes, sometimes I just want to eat simply. Few ingredients, few tools... just the basics. This sometimes is the best way to highlight a certain food; in this case, asparagus! I simply made a white wine sauce of sorts to cook the rice in, steamed and sautéed peas with asparagus, and topped with thinly sliced asparagus flash cooked to make it fancy! It’s ...
Beet Linguine with Swiss Chard, Goat Cheese + Poppy Seeds
It's Valentine's week -- the week of LOVE -- and no food is more fitting to celebrate than beets. (Besides maybe sweets, but that's another topic.) Beets can be a polarizing food. Some people love them, and some people think they taste too "earthy." I'm personally all in for beets. Love them LOTS. Which is why I was so pumped last year when Blue Apron sent me the recipe and ingredients to make ...
