This roasted potato salad is the perfect recipe for a summer-to-fall transition. The corn is fresh and sweet in season, accentuated by drizzled honey. The potatoes, which can be used right away or stored in a cool place are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Coupled with smoky paprika and scallions, this is a winning side dish. Potato salad is a crowd-pleasing dish. But sometimes, you just don't want the heavy dressing or a cold side. This recipe starts with taking

This pasta has such a nice bite to it from the kale - you can use a soft lacinato kale, a curly kale, or another green such as swiss chard. I like cutting the greens into long strips so that it adds more of a bite compared to the melty eggplant. This recipe is so simple for a weeknight and a really good way to use up extra tomatoes or a can of tomato puree you may have sitting in the back of your refrigerator! Enjoy! I had a bunch of kale, half an eggplant, and a quarter of a

This recipe takes radishes to a new level. While I used to think of radishes as the peppery, crunchy accompaniment to salads and wraps, this recipe turns them on their little heads. By roasting the radishes whole, they become a delicious substitute for potatoes. They transform soft when cooked and their punchy flavor mellows. They are quick to cook and a delicious side dish. I made my own herbs-de-Provence-style rub and it was really fresh and satisfying! Ah, the humble radis

What I love about this recipe is that the carrots are self-saucing, if you will - the carrot greens make a delicious, thick sauce for the roasted carrots themselves. The recipe is warm and aromatic, with turmeric, cinnamon, red pepper flake, and dill. You use the whole carrot and the roast is so tender, you don’t even need to peel them - cutting down on time and waste. Enjoy the cooling yogurt sauce that tempers the spices for a lovely balance. Enjoy! This recipe really honor

This take on a classic green goddess dip is packed with flavor and is so versatile. My absolute favorite application for this spread is to use it on a sandwich, such as turkey or veggie. It is great for parties and the best part is that you can mix and match herbs to your taste or to what you have a bit too much of in season. For this version of the recipe, I used dill, mint, and parsley. However, I’ve also made it with basil for more of a pesto-like quality, without the dill

Some recipes are great because they marry countless, complex ingredients together - this is not one of them. I love this recipe because it is very, very simple. But oh so delicious. This is a five-ingredient recipe (including the garnish). It takes sweet strawberries and pairs them with acidic tomatoes, with some cooling ricotta and sticky balsamic. Topped with basil for extra freshness, this recipe will leave you feeling clean and cool. I recommend this recipe as a side dis

This fun recipe is great for barbecues and picnics, transporting well in a sealed mason jar. Bring out this thin, spicy, acidic add-on when you want to add a little extra zing to your burger (whether that be classic, veggie, fake meat) or when you have some extra peppers to keep good a little longer! I recently made this recipe around the Fourth of July, when we decided to grill up some fake-meat hot dogs. I normally go for ketchup and sauteed peppers and onions on my dogs, b

This super simple salad is not just clean-feeling, but filling. Crispy, peppery radish slices pair with creamy boiled eggs, crunchy cashews, and snappy peas. Atop a bed of greens are cooled, cooked buckwheat noodles in Asian dressing that is sweet and salty. Enjoy for dinner and then lunch the next day! This dish was inspired by my love of “half greens, half grains” bowls that I often see in to-go restaurants these days. Even with all the toppings, a bed of salad greens often

In the words of my dad, who had this recipe the first time we made it, “The halloumi croutons make this salad.” I couldn’t agree more. There is something about the salty, chewy, crispy croutons that complement the cool cucumbers and citrusy dressing. I could eat this salad every day. It makes a great side salad and, honestly, because of the proteinaceous chickpeas and halloumi, this could be a meal. To start, remove the halloumi from its packaging and drain out the extra wate

This recipe is like if beef bourguignon decided to become a vegetarian pasta dish - the depth of savory flavor and melty qualities make this easy meal feel like it has been slow-cooking for hours. Enjoy this pasta in the summer when fennel and cabbage simultaneously go in season, or in the colder months when the cozy nature of this recipe make it both fresh and hygge. I was inspired to make this dish after signing up for a community-supported agriculture (CSA) box from the Q

I love this recipe - I've made it as countless weeknight dinners (where each person gets their own flatbread), as well as for a holiday party appetizer (where they are cut up into small-bite squares. My favorite thing about this recipe is that while it is fresh and light - relying on uplifting elements like yogurt sauce, that are good for the gut - it is very filling! Enjoy, tutti! This recipe is simple and quick to prepare - you chop an onion, slice a zucchini, and...that's

This easy-peasy pasta features buttery-soft cauliflower, fresh greens, sharp parmesan, and a topping of toasted breadcrumbs. This is a perfect weeknight dinner or can be doubled and stuck in the oven for a family-style casserole. Enjoy! This recipe is the definition of comfort food: warm, cheesy, not heavy. This may replace your favorite mac-and-cheese with its gooey, soft cauliflower and crunchy breadcrumb top. For me, the real draw of this recipe is how easy it is with so f

This recipe is easy-to-make and a health bomb, with proteinaceous beans, vitamin-rich veggies, and gut-loving sauerkraut. It's customizable, too, allowing you to add more or less for a heftier or lighter meal at home or on the go! This recipe is a spicy and hearty take on the classic burrito. Inspired by an article on foods that fight inflammation my mom sent me, the ingredients in this burrito recipe were based on the question: how can you fit as many anti-oxidant rich foods

This recipe tastes as if avocado toast, classic bruschetta, and fig jam had a beautiful bite-sized baby. Sounds pretty good, right? Enjoy this recipe as a cool summer dinner, or an appetizer at any event! The number one thing I love about toasts, crackers, flatbreads, and all the crispy, topped breads in this family is how versatile they are. Ok, well, maybe the actual # 1 is just that they are bread, and boy, do I love bread, but the versatility is definitely tied for first

Did someone say vegetarian carbonara? This take on a classic Italian pasta dish will fill your belly with savory joy - without the intense richness of the original. Start twirling that spaghetti! Carbonara is one of the best-known Italian pasta dishes, along with pomodoro, cacio e pepe, and some other select favorites. Typically, carbonara is a rich and creamy, with fat from rendered down pancetta (pork) as a base. Some mainstream carbonara relies on heavy cream to add heft,

Enjoy this easy, one-sheet-pan recipe for two sides in one: softened roasted beets and nectarines, paired with crispy quinoa, dressed in herby yogurt. Simple and so yummy! Who doesn't love a good deal - buy one get one free, end-of-season sales? Well, this recipe is a steal, because it is basically two side dishes in one! Beets are a delicious and hearty accompaniment, caramelized here for a sweet and sticky outside, paired with stone fruit for even more flavor and a summery

If you are lucky enough to have fruit trees in your yard, a pot, or in a community garden plot, or if you simply enjoy preserves when produce isn’t in season, jamming can help you remember the warm months when juicy peaches, plums, strawberries, and all manner of summer blooms are ripe for the taking. This is true even if the days are short and the leaves have fallen, leaving bare stalks on the trees with the promise of spring blooms bringing once again the supple, plump frui
