šŸ§„ Mediterranean penne


Hi Reader,

Now that zucchini is season here in California, I've been experimenting with different ways to enjoy it.

One of my favorites is Mediterranean Penne.

It features tender summer squash, sweet cherry tomatoes, and buttery pine nuts, along with garlic and balsamic for seasoning.

And it's easy to make in 30 minutes!

Love and Veggies,

Amy

P.S. If you're a fan of my vegan Mediterranean diet recipes and want to learn more about the lifestyle, I have something special coming later this summer. šŸ˜‰

Acorn squash stuffed with Mediterranean chickpea quinoa.

Hi Reader, Today's recipe is versatile enough to be a main dish or a standout side. I’m talking about my Mediterranean chickpea quinoa: lemony, garlicky, herby, and loaded with chickpeas and tomatoes. It works two delicious ways: Serve it in a bowl with a simple salad or roasted veggies. Spoon it into roasted acorn squash (or your favorite winter squash) for a stunning vegan main dish. If you try it, leave a comment on the post and tell me how you served it. I love seeing your twists. Get the...

Fall decor with banner: We Should Celebrate This Thing.

Hi Reader, It's two weeks until Thanksgiving, followed quickly by Christmas and Hanukkah. I used to entertain all the time, but over the last few years it's mostly been my small family around the table. Recently I went through Entertaining 101 from Dannyelle at Life is a Party, and it completely flipped the switch for me. Instead of feeling rusty and overthinking every detail, I feel excited and confident about having people over again. What I love about this course is how practical and...
