Chickpea Caesar Salad Tacos

Chickpea Caesar Salad Tacos

There’s a number of foods that I didn’t like until I went vegan. Sushi, donuts (I know. Crazy, right?), and cereal (I actually didn’t like the milk in my cereal. Once I replaced it with a plant-based alternative, I was good to go) all top that list. Caesar salad is also one of those meals I [...]

I’m a bit obsessed with seasoning. I have a drawer packed to the gills with various bottles of dried herbs and spices, as well as several in jars stacked up on my counter (because I use them so often, it’s just easier to have them at the ready). I know they can make ingredient lists [...]

I sure do love me a tasty warm salad sometimes. The kind with a roasted, caramelized veggie mixed with a few other ingredients of varying temperatures and textures and tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing. You know what I’m talking about. This salad is composed mainly of quinoa and warm, freshly roasted brussels sprouts. Then [...]

I recently started a new job. Now, I’m usually the type of chick who makes her own lunch every day to ensure that I have a healthy, vegan meal but these last couple of weeks, I’ve been “forgetting” to pack my lunch which means I have to go out. Oh yeah- did I mention that [...]

The Big-Ass Salad. Enemy of Hunger. Titan of Tastiness. Friend to vegans everywhere. You know the image of the stereotypical scrawny, pale vegan, sadly eating a pitiful bowl of lettuce? It’s about as accurate as saying badgers are sweet, cuddly, winged creatures that fart gumdrops. Vegans are vibrant, healthy people who know how to do salads [...]

“Why is it 85 degrees at 8:00 am?” I yelled at my car radio this morning. I am totally one of those people that you see talking or yelling while they’re driving by themselves. I don’t have road rage by any stretch of the imagination, but I do talk to the radio. I correct the way [...]

Who’s totally tired of all of the warm, heavy comfort foods that come with the winter? Yeah, me neither. But with all of the recipe testing for the book, my body is getting a little bit tired of heavy food (not that all of the recipes for the book are “heavy.” There’s just a lot of [...]

I’m kind of the worst when it comes to using fresh herbs. I absolutely love to use them but about 95% of the time, I forget them when I’m at the grocery store, or if I do have them, I forget to use them.  It’s not uncommon to find a very sad bunch of once-fragrant [...]

You know when summer just feels so good all you want to do is just slow down, relax, and basically just be lazy? I think the official term for this feeling is “summer laziness.”  That’s what my doctor called it, anyway. Well, those times call for super delicious food that’s easy to make.  Even better [...]

As a kid, there was a Mexican restaurant that my family went to all the time, El Burro.  I loved this place because, at the time, there was a big fountain outside with little frog statues that shot water out of their mouths and a big, covered gazebo where I could pretend I was on [...]

Heart of Palm, Jicama, Asparagus, Cabbage, Tangerines, and Maple Sriracha Pecans all in one salad?  Yes, it’s true.  I know that sounds like a motley crew of ingredients but you have to trust me on this one. I tend to be a play-it-safe kind of gal.  It’s very easy for me to stay in my [...]

Nothing feels more like spring to me than when strawberries and asparagus start popping up at the market or in my CSA delivery. Well, the tree outside of our dining room window beginning to bloom comes pretty darn close. And the part where I can start driving with my sun-roof open is pretty great. Oh, [...]

I am not a dieter.  I’m just not good at depriving myself of food or following strict rules about food.  I find myself getting obsessive about every little calorie and gram of fat and protein and carb and it makes me crazy and angry, so I just don’t do it. I don’t weigh myself, either. [...]

I’m one of those people who, in order to feel better about the not-so-healthful food choice they are consuming, like to enjoy a salad on the side.  It’s like adding something super healthy to something not-so-healthy makes it all balance out.  Ordering pizza?  I’ll throw together a salad to go with my 2 slices.  Vegan [...]

The other day, after class, my yoga teacher said to us “Your sense of peace right now did not come from practicing yoga today.  It came from peeling away the unnecessary layers, revealing your true self.”  This really struck a chord with me and the entire bike ride home and for some time after, I [...]

Before we joined our CSA, we stuck to buying the same fruits and vegetables, week after week.  Even at the farmer’s market, if I had time to go, I knew which items I wanted and stuck to those.  I didn’t bother trying to learn what those “mystery greens” or what that “unidentifiable tubular-shaped vegetable” was.
