Healing Spice Roasted Autumn Vegetables with Maple-Tahini Sauce

November 20, 2017 by Christina

Although I love to eat potatoes and other starchy/root vegetables all year round in many forms, I have to say that my absolute favorite way to enjoy them is in the form of simple roasted cubes with spices and a deliciously-creamy dressing. Similar to my roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas, this has been one of…

October 19, 2017 by Christina

Pancakes always have been and always will be one of my favorite meals. Over the course of the past few years, I have made quite the variety, from nutritious three-ingredient banana pancakes to decadent triple chocolate dessert-style cakes. One thing I have learned is that pancakes can be ridiculously fast and simple to make, no…

Simple Veggie Fried Rice

June 15, 2017 by Christina

Although I grew up eating mainly a combination of Italian and standard American meals, I used to love the days that my family would order takeout from Chinese restaurants. I loved the different flavors that I got to explore with those meals, especially those in the lo mein and fried rice dishes.Although you can order “veggie fried rice” in…

Easy Vegan Nachos

May 4, 2017 by Christina

In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, I thought it would be fun to share the simple nacho recipe/meal idea that I make for myself (and my family members) regularly!  To make a more nutritious variation of the classic, you may choose to use whole grain tortilla chips, and add fresh salsa, satiating beans, and, of…

“Cheesy” Tofu and Spinach Scramble

March 26, 2017 by Christina

If you are like me and you grew up eating scrambled eggs fairly regularly for breakfast, the idea of tossing scrambled tofu into the mix may seem a bit odd. However, I strongly urge anyone who is vegan or simply looking to add more variety their diet to give this a try! Not only does this dish almost…

Lentil and Vegetable Soup

December 27, 2016 by Christina

Today I am sharing a recipe for lentil soup, which, according to my beloved nana, will always bring good luck for the New Year. The following is my simplified and vegan version of her traditional Italian recipe. In addition to flavor, it is rich in protein, iron, and fiber from the lentils, antioxidants such as beta carotene from…

Creamy Pumpkin Risotto

November 18, 2016 by Christina

As the weather gets colder, it is ideal for us to nourish ourselves with warming cooked foods. All my life, cozy bowl meals such as pasta and oatmeal have been my ultimate comfort foods. It was only recently that I attempted to make risotto for the first time, and, with the first bite, knew that…

Pumpkin Seed Butter

October 13, 2016 by Christina

This recipe was originally posted on mindbodygreen! Although I tend to favor peanut butter over many other spreads (or most other foods, for that matter), I also love eating seed butters to obtain more variety in flavor and nutrients.  Tahini is a definite winner for savory food combinations, and I have grown to love using sunflower seed…
