Whipped Ricotta and Peas Toast (Total Time: 15 minutes, Serves: Varies) While this “recipe” doesn’t have the exact measurements that all my fellow Type-A people might appreciate, I promise it will turn out delicious by simply dumping ingredients into a food processor. I generally whip up a cup or two of both the ricotta and the green pea spreads, but…

Carrot Banana Oat Waffles (Total Time: 45 minutes, Prep Time: 15 minutes, Serves: 6) I’m not much of a savory breakfast person, so in an effort to cram more veggies into my diet, I figured why not hide some in waffles? Reminiscent of carrot cake or carrot muffins, these waffles are naturally sweetened, as well as gluten and dairy free.…

Kashke Bedemjan – Persian Eggplant Dip (Prep Time: 10 minutes, Total Time: 45 minutes, Serves: 4-6) I first tried this dip from a farmers market stand in Connecticut (probably the best thing I found there, no offense to Connecticut) and had to try to recreate it. I don’t think I hit all the marks in terms of authenticity, but it…

Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Fudge (Total Time: 75 minutes, Prep Time: 15 minutes, Serves: 4-6) Nut butter fudge is always one of my favorite things, but I was hesitant to try it with peppermint; nuts and peppermint don’t necessarily sound like a smashing combo to me. I’m happy to report that it actually turned out delicious! By using a mild nut…

Almond Spice Cake (Prep Time: 35 minutes, Total Time: 60 minutes, Serves: 6-8) This fluffy cake is light in texture and heavy in flavor. The cake base gets its flavor from cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and almonds.

The Perfect Post-Workout Shake (vegan and nut-free options) Total Time: 5 minutes, Serves: 1 I’ve finally created a smoothie that meets all the post-workout fueling nutrition recommendations, and it doesn’t include any protein powder! I have nothing against protein powder, but it can be expensive, and it’s always nice to rely on whole foods. I also created vegan and nut-free…

This class is free, however I am asking that you donate to support “COFED” which is a queer and transgender people of color-led organization that partners with young folks of color to build food…

Cold Chicken Noodle Salad (Total Time: 3 hours, Prep Time: 40 minutes, Serves: 4) Incase you haven’t been told enough times already, now is the time to get creative with what you have in your pantry! Today I found an old ramen packet (Lotus Foods Millet and Brown Rice GF Ramen) and had a pile of veggies I needed to…

Flourless Sesame Brownies (Prep time: 10 minutes, Cook time: 20 minutes, Serves: 8) There’s not much I love more than a rich, chocolatey dessert, and this really hits the spot. At a time when we all need a little more comfort food than usual, these brownies are a quick and easy dessert to make, and they aren’t super complex in…

Cornmeal Waffles (Total Time: 25 minutes, Makes: 5-6 large waffles) I’ve been on a serious waffle kick lately. I make my sweeter waffle recipes religiously and load them up with toppings for breakfast, but I wanted to try something a little different with this recipe. An absence of corn tortillas inspired this recipe to fulfill my Mexican lunch cravings one…
