Cocoa-Date Oatmeal
Dish: Vegetarian
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 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 […]

Champ is a variation on mashed potatoes that is traditional in Ulster, in North Ireland. Less intense than the classic dish, these mashed potatoes use leeks instead of scallions and a small amount of olive oil instead of heaps of butter. The Yukons add buttery color and flavor so you won’t miss a thing.
Caribbean Red Beans & Brown Rice
This spiced, Caribbean-inspired dish can be made with whatever kind of beans and rice you have on hand. The bean mixture will freeze nicely, so this is a fantastic dish to make an extra large batch of ahead of time. Cook instant brown rice when you’re ready to serve for a speedy dinner.
Butternut Squash & Plantain Mash
Inspired by a dish from the Dominican Republic, this dish combines plantains, butternut squash, and garlic. By roasting the vegetables together before combining them with a bit of stock, you concentrate the natural sugars and bring out the best flavors. For a little something extra special, try taking it up a level with your favorite spice mix […]
Broccoli Peanut Stir Fry
This orangey, sesame, peanuty goodness can be ready and on the table long before a take-out order would arrive. Why wait for take-out? Get chopping and get nomming. 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 […]
