There’s something mind-blowingly sublime about this red velvet beet soup that cannot be described. Scarlet and velvety, rich in umami flavor, the whole is greater than the sum of red lentils, beets, carrots, its parts. Serve this amazing vegan soup without speaking a word.
Goat cheese, basil, and sun-dried tomato muffins, made with whole wheat flour and olive oil–each and every bite pops with flavor! With tangy smooth cheese and intense tomato essence, these savory muffins are superb cornerstone eats for cool weather meals.
The perfect match for steaming hot soup and a crisp green salad, you’ll also be wanting these rustic almost biscuit-like muffins for breakfast, with eggs and coffee, or as a simple snack, just because. Just because we love our muffins.
Today’s savory goat cheese, basil, and sun-dried tomato muffins are the first in a muffintalk series. I’m talking sweet, savory, vegan, gluten-free, paleo, healthful, and every once in a while, a bit of decadence. Continue Reading…
Soft, sort of cake-like, and perfumed with pumpkin pie spice, these puffy honey-sweetened pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies are old-fashioned pumpkin cookies made healthier.
Welcome to fall and all its flavors. If you are with me that pumpkin shouldn’t show its spice until autumn is officially here, the wait is over.
Fruity, salty, sweet, and tangy sharp, with pan-crisped croutons to absorb all that juicy flavor goodness, this Italian panzanella salad with Kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes is calling your name!
Panzanella—don’t you love how this four-syllable word rolls off your tongue? Pant-sa-nell-a. A salad invented to use up days-old bread. I used to shy away from panzanella recipes, imagining soggy bread with veggies, an image that didn’t quite jive with such a toothsome word!
No more thinking like that–this recipe’s olive oil-toasted artisan bread croutons erase all panzanella shyness–no sodden bread here. The croutons keep their crunch even as they take on tangy red wine vinegar, olive oil, and tomato juiciness. Continue Reading…
OK, who’s with me on this? I’m kicking and screaming—it’s still summer! For autumn’s sake, please, no pumpkin. Not yet. Right now, with produce bins brimming with the best of the season, let’s take advantage and turn those juicy sweet tomatoes and peaches into peach and tomato salsa with pan seared tofu.
Lime and honey with fresh peaches and tomatoes, spiced with jalapeño chile, red onion, and cilantro—it’s the best! Sauté flavor-neutral tofu until it’s golden crunchy on the outside, tender chewy on the inside, and then off the flame, while the pan is still hot, pour the peach and tomato salsa all over. The tofu absorbs the flavorful salsa juices for a most delectable vegetarian feast. Continue Reading…
