Cheesy Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta

The perfect way to warm up and serve a cozy and delicious creamy pasta sauce. Roasted butternut squash gets a glow up and serves as the star-ingredient in this luscious and nourishing “cheese-like” sauce. The recipe is vegan and gluten-free; but for those that consume dairy I added some aged cheese options like parmesan, pecorino and Manchego; all of which are easier to digest and accentuate this delicious sauce perfectly! Go ahead and give this easy, quick dinner recipe a try. I am confident it will become a part of your weekly dinner rotation. Filling, cozy and satisfying- and made with ingredients you can feel good about.

Kale, Pomegranate, Feta & Quinoa Holiday Salad!

While the appeal of Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays for many may gravitate around the bird and/or sides (stuffing standing out as the real MVP!) I can’t help but turn my attention to warm and hearty salads that truly feel like a meal- yet compliment your festive spread ever so perfectly! Picture leafy kale, tart pomegranate arils, creamy goat feta or Manchego cheese, sweet pear chunks or slices, deliciously crunchy caramelized pecans, and a hearty base of your favorite grain topped with a killer mushroom garnish. Super satisfying, quick, effortless- and it gives you ALL the holiday feels!

Every so often, salad inspo hits hard and the outcome surpasses even your own humble expectations. Growing up, we used to eat a lot of fresh corn, avocados (on the daily) AND ginormous and juicy tomatoes… but somehow; we never chopped them all together and threw them into a bowl along with some dynamite dressing that complemented the flavors perfectly! This salad is bold, packed with texture, easy to assemble and offers the best of summer all in one bowl.

Best Lentil Soup Recipe

Let’s talk about this lentil soup, shall we? Five words: NOT your average lentil soup.

It feeds a crowd, costs close to nothing, is pretty effortless to whip up AND doesn’t taste like your standard vegetarian or vegan fare. I always jokingly said that if I was to become a full-on vegetarian; I would absolutely cook a lot of Mediterranean and Indian-inspired dishes. Why? because they’re rich, vegetable-loaded, and you don’t feel deprived at all. This little recipe checks ALL those boxes and then some. I am beyond confident it will quickly become a part of your weekly dinner rotation!

This sauce is dynamite; give it a chance and you will love it!

Looking for another quick dinner or lunch idea with tons of mileage that can be enjoyed either warm or cold? You’ve come to the right place!
