Cocoa-Date Oatmeal
Dish: Vegan
Chive Infused Olive Oil
Just a few seconds in the blender and you’ve got some mighty tasty oil. Pair with some good vinegar and a hint of salt and fresh pepper for a complete salad dressing.
Chinese Noodles with Spring Vegetables
You could use any noodles you have on hand for this stir fry and for that matter, any vegetables as well. As long as you stick to the same flavorings of sesame, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, it’ll be delicious. Tip: This dish is sort of meant to be eaten warm, but the leftovers do […]
Chickpea & Red Onion Salad
This salad comes together very quickly and would be just as tasty with any of your favorite herbs if you don’t have parsley–cilantro or basil would work particularly well. Because the dressing is all in the chickpeas and onions, this is a great lunch salad–pack your lettuce and chickpea mix separately and combine when you’re […]

Broccoli Peanut Stir Fry

Tip: To thaw frozen spinach quickly, put it in a mesh strainer and run under warm water. You can microwave it for 1-2 minutes to reduce the time […]
Blueberry Sorbet
This sorbet is similar to granita, using fruit and juice to create a refreshing slush. Try this with fresh strawberries or raspberries or a combination of your favorite berries. Pour into popsicle molds for a fun alternative way to eat it.
Black Bean Salsa
We call this a salsa, but honestly, we’d be doing you and the recipe both a disservice if we didn’t point out its limitless potential. Toss with some greens: hey presto, lunch! Top your favorite fish with it and shove it in a taco shell: awesome fish and bean tacos! Scoop it up with whole […]
