If you have a spiralizer, than you already know about the joy that are zoodles! Long, thin strips of zucchini make a light and healthy replacement for regular pasta. You can eat the zoodles raw or here they are lightly cooked in a little oil and garlic, topped with a “bolognese” sauce made from lentils […]
Food Inspo
Here I share some recipes by other’s that I’ve enjoyed or some of my own meal ideas for when you just need a little inspiration to get your own ideas flowing. This collection ranges from a little more involved to as simple as throwing a few things into a blender. When I was first learning to cook (as recent as 2013!), I needed to follow a recipe to the T, the thought of trying to imitate something solely from a photo was – well, it just wasn’t going to happen. But if you’re comfortable in the kitchen, these will not be that challenging but if you’re new and still finding your way, trust me, you *can* wing it and come up with something completely delicious with just the help of a few quality ingredients, your taste buds, and a little inspiration.

Food Inspo: Grilled Asparagus and Pink Rice Spring Tacos

Inspired by Slow Club Cookery’s spring tacos: grilled asparagus, zucchini, quick pickled purple cabbage, radish, Madagascar pink rice and a creamy lemony-dill dressing. What taco creations will you come […]
Food Inspo: Roasted Pears a la Mode
No recipe really required but something I definitely encourage you to try. Warm oven-roasted pears, the most luxurious vanilla cashew-based ice cream by So Delicious, and a drizzle of a locally made spicy cinnamon apple syrup. Have you ever had Hot Tamale candy? I can’t tell you how many pounds I used to eat, the […]
Food Insp: Fully Raw Pumpkin Pie [link to recipe]
