As the days get warmer, I find myself looking for interesting salads that are filling enough to make a satisfying vegan dinner – so I don’t have to turn on the oven or slave over the cooktop! Since spinach is a great source of vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as one…
Sugar Snap Peas are one of my favorite spring vegetables. Paired with leeks, purple scallions, orange and yellow peppers, Meyer lemon, and Gardein Meatless Chick’n Strips, they produced a bright and colorful dinner that was a snap to make. (Pardon the pun!)

Even though it seems like everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving, this is the perfect recipe for a hearty weeknight meal that doesn’t duplicate the dishes you’ll be preparing next week. Butternut squash is one of my favorite fall vegetables, and roasting it in the oven brings out its sweetness. The greens in this recipe…
One of my favorite pasta shapes is Orecchiette, which means “little ears”. Although Orecchiette comes from the boot-shaped Apulia region in southern Italy, my Sicilian grandmother often used it. My grandmother, Cesarina, didn’t own a cookbook, but made mouth-watering bowls of pasta from whatever she had on hand. Although my grandmother died over four decades…
One of the joys of summer is growing my own basil – which means that fresh Pesto Genovese is always an option for dinner. My favorite way to turn pesto into a full-blown meal worthy of company is to add cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, stringless green beans, and oven roasted tomatoes, before topping my finished…

With the dog days of summer upon us, I frequently reach for my slow cooker. In fact, I use my slow cooker as much in the summer as I do in the winter months! My Vegan Chorizo and Black Bean Stew uses spicy vegan chorizo from Asheville-based No Evil Foods instead of one of the vegan ground meats…
