Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Toum (Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce Recipe) is the perfect balance between light and fluffy + rich and creamy with tons of garlic flavor! You can use it as a dip for vegetables, flatbread, or grilled chicken, or as a condiment for just about any sandwich.
The first time I had Toum was in Damascus, Syria and it was served for dipping along with Shish Tawook. The creamy lightness of Garlic Sauce is the perfect accompaniment to juicy marinated grilled chicken!…
This Vegan Baked Beans Recipe is a perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and salty flavors with a slight tang. It’s basically a meat-free version of Boston Baked Beans, but it comes together in a fraction of the time. It’s the perfect side dish for anything you grill up! I confess, I’ve never been one to be all that sad when Labor Day rolls around. Yes, I like summer (as much as any Buffalo-born-and-raised-girl can). But in all honesty, I love autumn way too much to be disappointed about summer’s end....
This satisfying Red Lentil Soup Recipe is easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and has rich, deep flavor and creamy texture. It’s a delicious first course to a larger meal, or it makes a perfect lunch. I wanted to write a post about Ramadan earlier (since it’s already the 16th day!), but time has been flying by. (Update: I wrote and originally published this post on the 16th day of Ramadan in 2009.) Red Lentil Soup is very popular during Ramadan. It’s hearty and delicious, and serves as the perfect tool to whet your appetite....
With garlic, ginger, and jalapeno as the base and pumpkin puree and coconut milk for creamy texture, this Indian-spiced Vegan Chickpea Pumpkin Curry Recipe is a hearty meal with great depth of flavor. ’Tis the season for pumpkin, as we all know! And I feel like I’m a latecomer to the party since I haven’t posted anything with pumpkin yet this fall. I realize that there’s no shortage of pumpkin recipes in the blogging world. Nevertheless, I’m going to make it up to you....
This Fresh Fig Salad Recipe features sweet, juicy fresh figs, nutty pistachios, and a sweet/tart dressing. It’s easy to make and as delicious as it is simple! Who says salad can’t be spectacular? Not I. I think the best part about a salad is its simplicity. If you have extremely fresh produce, just let its flavor shine and the work is done for you....
This Vegan Coconut Cashew Ice Cream Recipe is rich and creamy with deep coconut cashew flavor, a hint of vanilla aroma, and the perfect amount of maple sweetness. As a kid, during summer I remember my family heading to our local ice cream stand for a chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles a couple times a week. Because what’s summertime without ice cream, right?!...
This paleo Baked Eggplant Recipe pairs mild roasted eggplant with a richly spiced tomato sauce, nutty toasted almonds, and fresh mint. Normally as summer winds down I start to hoard summer vegetables. Cucumbers get pickled, tomatoes get stewed (for beautiful things like creamy tomato soup in the middle of winter), and zucchinis get baked. (By the way, that chocolate zucchini cake I linked to freezes well for up to 6 months if wrapped well!)...
This Vegan Grain Bowl Recipe with Blackberries and Fresh Mint is the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, and it’s a nutritious summer meal. One of my favorite summer memories growing up is of my sister and I picking wild berries at my grandparents’ house and eating them as fast as we could pick....
This Blackberry Lime Mocktail Spritzer Recipe is a loganberry drink copycat that features the refreshing sweet/tart flavor of blackberries and lime. It’s perfect for cooling down with on a hot day! If you’re from Buffalo, odds are you’re familiar with the loganberry drink. A loganberry is an actual berry (it’s a blackberry-raspberry hybrid), but if you’re from Western New York the first thing to come to mind is probably the drink!...
