I know, I know. This bowl of brown who-knows-what isn’t much to look at. But bear with me, because it tastes amazing. This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is “Fresh Start – A New Approach to Breakfast.” So you may be wondering why I made oatmeal for breakfast, since its really nothing new. The method I

When it comes to sandwiches, I’m a little picky. I am completely bored by a regular ‘ol sandwich like pb+j or a grilled veggie sandwich. But when it comes to big, bulky, piping hot pressed paninis? Show me to them. I like when sandwiches are stuffed with all sorts of fillers and grilled to perfection.

I haven’t made a good homemade veggie burger in a while, even though we eat at least one Dr. Praeger’s veggie burgers each per week. Sometimes Funk makes these grand veggie burger meals with the Dr. Praeger’s that I call “Funk’s Special” because they always wind up so much better than when I just pop

Last Saturday night, Funk and I had dinner plans. Knowing I’d be indulging a bit at dinner, I wanted to jam-pack my lunch with fruits and veggies. With a half of a bag of curly kale in the fridge that was about to go bad, I decided to make a massive massaged kale salad with

Usually it takes me weeks to finish a big bag of apples from an apple picking trip. I’m an apple-a-day kind of girl nearly year round, but when apples are busting at the seams of my refrigerator, it’s a little overwhelming! I was trying to come up with a savory dinner dish that would help

Lately my Sunday evening routine, when it comes to making meals, involves my beloved rice cooker. In it, I can toss some veggies, spices, seasonings, and two hours later have a great grain dish waiting for us with leftovers for the next few days. It requires absolutely no stove or oven heat, which is key

VegNews featured this recipe for Avocado Pesto Pasta a few weeks ago. When I clicked through it, I saw the chef behind the recipe masterpiece is one of my favorite vegan chefs, Chloe Coscarelli. She makes such decadent vegan recipes and takes head-turning photos of them. I knew it was a dish I had to

Whenever I travel, whether it be a road trip (hate ‘em) or a cross country flight, my eating always gets out of whack. It’s not that I have such regimented eating habits, I’m just so used to eating an abundance of whole grains, fruits and veggies, home-cooked food and snacking that when I deviate from
