Sweet Potato Waffles
Sweet potato waffles that also taste like orange-vanilla Creamsicle? Line starts at the left. But seriously, have you ever seen a naked waffle picture like this? I admit. Waffles look a little sad in a photo when they aren’t covered in whipped cream and syrup and melted butter pooling in all the pockets. But .…
Read MorePeach Bacon Salad
Before you say “that does NOT sound like a salad” let me say that peach bacon salad also has arugula in it so it actually IS a salad. But peach bacon arugula salad with almonds has too many words. So peach bacon salad it is! This pretty little number makes a great main-dish salad for hot…
Read MoreJackfruit Ropa Vieja
Since making these jackfruit tinga tostadas, green jackfruit has become a pantry staple. (Although I do severely limit the canned food items I buy to reduce my family’s exposure to BPA and its equally-bad replacement BPS, I make exceptions for green jackfruit and for coconut milk because they are very hard to find otherwise.) If…
Read MoreTurkey Burger Stacks
Ahh, the good ol’ turkey burger. Popularized during the low-fat 90s and then coldly abandoned, along with Snackwells cookies and Lay’s WOW! chips. Or so I thought. Turns out, turkey burgers have not lost their place in California. They’re still on restaurant menus, like, a lot. And not in the “substitute turkey patty” kind of…
Read MoreSalmon Tacos
Listen all ye lovers of fish tacos and what-not. Do not be a’feared of the sorta long ingredients list found hither for these salmon tacos! You’ll want to make these post-haste, my friends. (Unless you don’t like salmon and in that case make my other fish tacos recipe with cod or another white fish. People…
Read MoreChipotle Hummus
Like everyone else who came up in the 90s, I have a soft spot in my heart for hummus. Vivid memories of party snack tables spotlighting pita chips and hummus — so exotic! — and beach days with Triscuits dipped in hummus and then blown with sand so that with every bite you could feel…
Read MoreSummer Squash Fritters
Y’all ought to know by now I’m a fritter fanatic. They’re one of the best ways to eat vegetables and that’s the lord’s truth. Corn fritters, feta zucchini fritters (which I evidently used to call zucchini pancakes but forgot?) and now these dang ol’ summer squash fritters. Our neighbors gave us a few extra yellow summer…
Read MoreSoba Noodle Bowl with Pickled Shiitake Mushrooms
I got kind of fancy today! Really I just put some stuff in a bowl but I thought about it while I did it, instead of throwing it all in willy-nilly as usual. It’s called “being mindful”, you guys, and everyone is talking about it. Soba noodles are the best kind of noodles to use…
Read MoreCauliflower Potato Salad
You might be thinking this is some kind of “You Won’t Believe it’s Cauliflower” recipe, but it’s not. My cauliflower potato salad makes no effort to obscure cauliflower’s identity, but rather combines cauliflower AND potato into one, creamy potluck side dish with half the carbs and twice the flavor!™* *Not tested. And not really trademarked,…
