I can’t believe Thanksgiving is on Thursday! We’re pretty staunch traditionalists in my family. We have to make the same dishes every year. We can’t replace things, so we just keep adding things.

My friend told me about this sauce and tried to describe how amazing it is, and words just can’t do it justice. This sauce is very fresh, super flavorful, a little salty, and just packed with bright bold flavors. It’s a great accompaniment to meat, like pork or chicken, but would also be great onRead more
This is rapidly becoming a favorite meal. It’s based off of these tofu lettuce wraps, but combined in a bowl for a more filling/less fussy dinner. I made it twice in a week, it’s that good.

This takes the super healthy benefits of broccoli and turns it into a great spread, or in this case, sauce. While this is definitely different from traditional pesto since it doesn’t include basil,Read more
While visiting my friend in CO, I learned that Justin’s nut butters are produced in CO. And while on a field trip of the 2nd largest Whole Foods in the country, we sampled some freshly pressed nut butters. Clearly I’m on a nut butter kick, because as soon as I got home and saw aRead more
