Give me some noodles and I’ll use them up right away. They are so versatile as they can be dressed in numerous sauces from Thai curry sauce to Asian-inspired dressings. Throw on your favorite veggies and you got yourself a damn delicious meal!
Some thick Asian noodles tossed in a bit of rice vinegar, topped with seared oyster mushrooms, and sauteed veggies. All dressed in an uber creamy tahini sesame dressing. I am all over this!…
My dad picked up a bunch of zucchini the other day so I immediately knew I had to brainstorm some recipes to use them up. The first that came to mind? A moist & fluffy chocolate zucchini bread! I love all things bread…and don’t even get me started with chocolate. So this combo was meant to be.

I am not a huge fan of tomatoes, but if you give me some fresh from the market bursting with flavor and juices then I will eat them any day. As soon as you throw them in a creamy pasta I am all over them.

There isn’t a day that goes by where I am not craving Indian food. From rich curries, buttery naan, and of course the infamous butter chicken dish. It is incredibly creamy and so flavorful from the delicious spices of garam masala.

A gooey and ultra creamy cashew-based vegan cheese sauce with a hint of smokiness. The perfect 30-minute meal for a weeknight that will stun your family members and yourself. Can never go wrong with a bowl of mac n’ cheese. …
I am a major snacker…and sometimes that can be unhealthy depending on what I choose to snack on. That is why I always try to have some type of homemade energy bars or bites stored in my freezer.
Let me tell you. These energy bars are addicting! A chewy and sweet bar embedded with a variety of seeds, such as pumpkin seeds, black and white sesame seeds, and chia seeds. Also some puffed quinoa and sweetness from dates and maple syrup. The secret ingredient that makes it taste 10x better? Tahini! It may sound disgusting, but trust me on this. It will make your world go round. …
