🍃 if you like pesto

Hi Reader, The key to a delicious pasta salad is the right dressing. That's why I love using pesto sauce. Not only does it have incredible herby flavor, it helps to prevent the noodles from drying out. To make my quick vegan pesto pasta salad, you can use either homemade pesto or your favorite dairy-free store-bought version. (I've included my easy pesto recipe in the post if you'd like to try it.) Then load up your pasta salad with your favorite veggies and chickpeas for a summery side dish...

Bowl of Greek potato salad.

Hi Reader, You won't miss the mayo in this Greek potato salad made with red potatoes, olive oil, lemon, and oregano. It's ready to eat in about half an hour, and it's so easy to make. First you slice the small potatoes into rounds and simmer them until tender. Then the lemon vinaigrette is poured over the warm potatoes so they absorb all the citrusy goodness. A little lemon zest and oregano finish this light and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired side dish. Be sure to leave a comment on the...

Pineapple and tofu teriyaki skewers on a grill.

Hi Reader, Summer is almost here, and I can't wait for our first dinner of the season cooked outside on the grill. I already know I'll be making teriyaki tofu skewers with fresh pineapple, sweet bell pepper, and red onion. This meal is so easy since the tofu only needs 15 minutes to marinate. And the homemade sauce takes just 10 minutes to whip up. Debbie said, "Yummy teriyaki sauce. It is great for veggies too." Get the recipe for Grilled Teriyaki Tofu Skewers Have a wonderful weekend!

Bowl of hummus.

Hi Reader, Recently I was reviewing my finances and discovered how much money I was spending on store-bought hummus. It seemed ridiculous since not only is it easy to make at home in minutes, I always have all the ingredients on hand in my kitchen. So while I was making a batch, I figured it was about time I share my recipe for simple traditional hummus. To make it all you'll need is canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Get the recipe for Homemade Classic Hummus...

Bowl of garlic herb vegan yogurt sauce.

Hi Reader, Last week, I put together an easy dinner on a whim. It turned out to be so tasty that it's now going to be on regular rotation. 1️⃣ First I made some brown rice and stirred in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and dried herbs. Alternatively you can use your favorite grain, like quinoa, or even mashed or roasted potatoes. 2️⃣-3️⃣ I made my Sheet Pan Seasoned Roasted Chickpeas with carrots on the side. A green veg like green beans or asparagus would have been a great choice, too,...
