jerk-style veggie grill with greens + mango ginger sauce Let’s talk about dreams for a second. I have huge ones and I’m going to revel in a particular vision right here, so just indulge me for a second. Some day, I hope to roll up to a respectable newsstand and lay eyes on an equally respectable cooking publication, emblazoned with the predictable “SUMMER GRILLING ISSUE” thing and whoa, there won’t be a greased-up burger or a sauce-smothered mountain of ribs on the cover. Am I waiting on a new publication entirely/looking for (plant-based) love in all the wrong places? These timely summer volumes always have some veggie options hiding within, and great ones most certainly, but that predominant fire = meat mindset is old hat to me (stating the obvious for the win). And by that, I mean that I’ve made you something really deluxe for your own barbecue adventures (onwards + upwards!). jerk-style veggie grill w/ tempeh, greens and mango-ginger-miso sauceserves: 4notes: Any vegetable is fair game here. Preheat the grill to high.
Recipe for Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos with Spicy Slaw and Avocado It only makes sense that with my new slow cooker blog, I'm paying more attention to how people use their slow cookers year round. I'm finding lots of slow cooker recipes like these shredded beef tacos, which would taste just as good in the dead of winter as they did on a warm night last week. But one happy thing about cooking something like this when it's starting to get hot outside is that the slow cooker doesn't heat up the house for those hours that the meat is getting tender. I used a boneless chuck roast for the meat. I know some of you don't like to brown the meat when you're cooking it in the slow cooker, but I promise it makes a huge difference in the flavor. While the meat browns, mix together the salsa, can of diced green chiles, lime juice, taco seasoning, and just a tiny bit of salt to make the cooking sauce. Put the browned meat in the slow cooker, pour the sauce over, and cook on low until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork - about 6 hours. Instructions:

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas So we’re I’m kind of flip-flopping my posts here–this recipe really belongs back in January with all the healthy recipes and Monday’s French Toast really belongs here today because, let’s face it, legumes tossed in garlic are not the most romantic little things in the world, no matter how tasty they are. Sara and I are flying to Utah and back this weekend, so we might be a little slow responding to emails and questions. Well…slow-er. I adapted this recipe from What’s Gaby Cooking. You’ll need some extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and a 15-ounce can of garbanzo beans. I just got pictures of the spices because they were prettier. Preheat your oven to 400. In a medium bowl, combine the spices and olive oil. Toss the chickpeas in the spices… and spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a lined baking sheet. Place the pan in the oven and roast the chickpeas for 20 minutes. Ingredients: Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
vegetable ceviche + chipotle pepita “pilaf” My friend asked me if I had any ideas for a simple, raw, vegetable-heavy dish (that wasn’t a salad) to make in the heat of summer. I had some things in mind, but they involved a bit of blending, or use of a food processor, a spiralized vegetable, or maybe a dehydrated component. Adding a sprouted grain was tempting, but would prolong the process of having the actual meal by a day or so. My mind went to work is what I’m trying to say. I take a few things for granted when I post recipes on here. My kitchen has a few bells and whistles, sure, and I approach recipe development from that privileged stance. I know that so many of you just want to eat well and feel as good as possible, but may not have a spiralizer slicer or a mortar and pestle or whatever. This dish is beautiful and healthy, but my favourite part? vegetable ceviche with pepita & almond cauliflower “pilaf”serves: 2notes: The peeler isn’t even totally necessary here. Chop the stemmed cauliflower florets super fine.

aloo gobi-ish I can’t claim that I cook Indian food authentically, but what I can do is cook Indian-ish food that tastes pretty good. Aloo Gobi is one of my favorites and this is my at-home version. The basic components are all here: potato (aloo), cauliflower (gobi). The rest is a bit of a riff… it’s a little lighter and a lot greener. Also, these ingredients should be easy to find. I think this is the perfect “it’s still winter but almost spring” meal. Feel free to make this as spicy or as mild as you like… An extra pinch of cayenne for me, please. Ingredients Instructions Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Notes To cook the potatoes faster, pre-bake, boil, (or microwave) them so they just slightly begin to soften before you start. *I've been loving muchi curry powder lately (Whole Foods makes a nice one - in their bottled spice section, not bulk), if you don't have/can't find it, sub in a combo of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne.
