i know that for many of you are still fighting through winter weather, but we’ve been having a heat wave (or maybe this is normal for the desert?) and i’ve been craving light, vegetable based meals. although having eaten this twice this week, i have to admit i’d probably eat it in the snow too. i’d just pair it with a bowl of miso soup to warm me at the end. i hope you love it as much as i do! xx- sarah {recipe after the jump}
i’ve been making hummus that i felt sort of meh about for a long time. it was good, but for some reason never tasted as good as other people’s hummus. you know how that happens? and then…. i decided to try roasting my garlic before i added it. i know, this isn’t revolutionary. no one landed on the moon and it was only one giant step for ME, not mankind. but STILL, i’m pretty excited. so if you’ve been feeling meh about your own hummus, give this a shot. and if you have other ideas for hummus i’d love to hear! (another hummus you might love) more after the jump!
it’s been warming up here and i’ve been craving more salads and spring foods. and nothing tops my salad quite so pretty as these pickled onions! i add a beet to make them pink (and always regret not making a second batch of just beets, they’re so good and gone within a day!)
if right now you’re picturing a farmhouse and labor intensive pickling process involving boiling jars and sterilization, than you my friend are getting pickling confused with her high maintenance cousin- canning. pickling doesn’t require sterilization or any special tools. so it’s basically the fastest, easiest way to feel like you’re on top chef with ingredients you likely already have in your cupboard! {recipe after the jump}
what if i told you that you could eat something that was so similar to cous cous that you wouldn’t know the difference, but didn’t have any of the processed carbs AND had all the nutrition of cauliflower? are you saying you’d want to marry me? i don’t blame you, not one bit. recipe and more after the jump!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, noodles! they’re my happy food. noodles with a sweet and spicy ginger scallion sauce? in the eloquent words of rachel zoe: i die. that’s right, i love these noodles like zoe loves chanel! it’s huge. and i think you will too, especially on those nights when you barely have the energy to make toast but want something totally yummy and satisfying. guaranteed to please and just a tiny bit more work than spaghetti, i promise. lastly: this dish is healthy. I KNOW!!!!! {more after the jump}
chocolate and i are like bella and edward- meant to be, but constantly facing obstacles in our love affair. and yes, that was a twilight reference for the three of you that have been strong enough to resist the series (HOW?!). the obstacle is this: chocolate is always teaming up with my frenemies dairy and sugar. but not here my pals, here it teams up with my BFF’S avocado and coconut milk to make a completely healthy and amazingly rich dessert! i bow down in reverence to this sweet treat, after i’ve devoured it like i’m on day 38 of survivor, of course. please, please make this. it’s easy. it’s healthy. it’s amazing. DO IT! recipe and more after the jump.
