This was fun! Let me know if you liked this series, I can do more like it in the fall.
New! These Peanut Butter Cookies are soft & chewy and adapted from my friend Lynn's tried & true bakery recipe.
This is part of my new series "Lynn's Desserts" where I adapt the recipes from her baking business down to home baking sized versions, like a dozen cookies instead of 100. Because one stick of butter is just a little more manageable than 4 pounds :)

Herby tahini pasta, AKA one of my favorite quick meals that uses tahini, fresh herbs, lemon, garlic, and spaghetti (or whatever pasta you have on hand). Pair with chickpeas and some sautéed veggies for a well rounded meal.

This vegan tomato chickpea curry is rich, comforting, and filled with flavor. It features a tomato-ginger-coconut milk base and pan-fried purple cabbage. This is one of my favorite ways to cook cabbage: sauté with salt until almost blackened then splash with rice vinegar.
This curry is certainly a fusion of different styles (it uses Thai red curry paste but it reminds me of butter chicken) but it came about because I had a bunch of ingredients to use up and I just loved the way they came together so much that I had to share it here.

My go-to veggie-packed lentil salad is made with green lentils, a honey mustard vinaigrette, salty feta, and hazelnuts. It’s so good for lunch or as a side with dinner and it’s worth trying before cherry tomatoes are out of season!

These tofu spring roll-inspired bowls are a long time favorite! They’re like a deconstructed spring roll (or summer roll) featuring crunchy vegetables like cabbage and cucumbers, udon noodles, pan-fried tofu, and a delicious savory peanut sauce. These bowls are high protein and great for meal prep lunches!

These pulled jackfruit sandwiches are a vegetarian classic! They are made with sweet brown sugar-based BBQ sauce, shredded jackfruit, and a simple vegan slaw. The best part is that you can use whatever BBQ sauce you prefer to make this recipe your own! But don’t forget to add pickles for a pop of acidity.
If you want extra protein (because jackfruit does not really have any), I recommend adding a can of white beans to the simmering jackfruit. This makes it and even more satisfying meal!

This bowl features miso-glazed baked sweet potato, roasted broccoli, farro, and a h**p heart-based sauce. It’s a simple meal but it’s so so delicious! I usually add chickpeas or baked tofu to round out the meal, but the h**p hearts add a bit of protein to the meal (in addition to blending into a zesty, creamy sauce).

Roasted sweet potatoes & plantains are seasoned with smoky spices and served with a zesty, crunchy radish-brussel slaw in these colorful spring tacos. Because I’ve spent the past year (probably longer) focusing on sharing video content over photos, there are a few video-less recipes that slipped through the cracks on the blog. This recipe is one of them, which is sad because they are SO good. Shout out to my partner who loves plantains more than me, and who inspired these creative tacos. These are seriously worth a try!
