The Dinner I Make When I Didn’t Plan Dinner
1 day ago • 1 min readHi Reader! This is my go-to when I have no plan for dinner. I just use whatever vegetables I need to use up, add tofu, make the super quick and easy honey garlic sauce, and call it dinner. It's so good, and there isn't a piece of soggy tofu in sight. It's perfect as is (I love this combination of veggies), but if you happen to have something else on hand, the sauce works great with a wide variety of vegetables. Get The Recipe

4 days ago • 1 min readHi Reader! I'm constantly scanning my site for outdated recipes, things that need tweaking, or recipes that need new photos. Sometimes I'll get a comment with a question (for example, "does this recipe work in an air fryer?") and that will lead the direction of our recipe testing. This week, we updated two great sauce recipes. The arugula pesto is so good on a piece of toasted sourdough bread with a fried egg on top. It's slightly more mild than traditional basil pesto, but in a really great...

6 days ago • 1 min readHi Reader! If you're looking to take it up a notch this grilling seasoning, stock your fridge with homemade barbecue sauce. It's truly a game-changer and really not difficult to make! It's delicious as-is, but I also show you how to make it your own.

READ POSTBasil Is Great, But Hear Me Out
8 days ago • 1 min readHi Reader! Fresh basil is great, but it’s not always easy to find, and honestly it can be expensive. Arugula makes such a good swap in pesto. It’s bold, fresh, and turns into a pesto that works for way more than pasta. I love to spread it on sourdough toast and top with a fried egg. As a bonus, it freezes super well, so you can make a big batch and save some for later. Get The Recipe

This week's email is a little seafood-y but if you're not a fan of seafood, there's a few other delicious recipes, some of my favorites, actually!...
READ POSTThis Is a Bread-Dipping Situation
13 days ago • 1 min readHi Reader! I love cod because it's basically a blank slate. This lemon butter cod is a garlicky classic, and Parmesan crusted cod has a perfectly crunchy crust. For this recipe, garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning jazz up canned crushed tomatoes for a simple sauce that tastes like it was simmering away on the stove for hours. It's perfect on the cod, and insanely good for dipping bread into. Get The Recipe
READ POSTThis Is My Kind Of Lunch
15 days ago • 1 min readHi Reader! I like tofu, but not mushy, boring tofu. I need crispy edges and a great sauce. This buffalo tofu bowl has both, plus roasted cauliflower, fluffy rice, and tons of crisp veggies. It's such a great lunch and ideal for meal prep. It's filling, satisfying, and nourishing. I hope you love this one as much as I do! Get The Recipe
