Vegan Tacos with Soy Curls
Soy curls? I was skeptical at first but this 100% non-GMO soy bean product from Butler foods is amazing! They have the texture of chicken or beef and can be seasoned to match the flavors of your favorite meat-forward dishes. This recipe was adapted from one at Bon Appetit which highlights the seasonings for tacos…
Shrimp with Lemon and Harissa
Shrimp is so versatile. It’s a lean protein that can be added to almost any dish both hot and cold or eaten as is, steamed and dipped in your favorite cocktail sauce. Frozen shrimp is a staple in my freezer. Forgot to take the bag out of the freezer, no worries. Rinse in a colander…
Black Bean Veggie Burgers
Bean-based veggie burgers can be a challenge. They tend to fall apart, lack flavor, and just don’t deliver on the promise of being a burger you can eat inside of a bun. This recipe was shared with me by my good friend Wendy and she found it at America’s Test Kitchen and they solved these…
Any Meal Almond Pancakes
If you’re looking for an alternative to higher carb, mostly white flour pancakes, these are for you. Almond flour replaces most of the flour and with the addition of eggs and milk, these little cakes offer a great dose of protein for the start of your day or as mid-afternoon pick me up. They can…
Bean and Barley Chili
Not a traditional chili and not quite a stew, this would even be a delicious chunky dip. This chili/stew/dip has the seasonings and flavors of a chili but with the addition of barley and carrots, it moves into the bean stew territory. Whatever you call it, it’s easy and it’s delicious! I love the unexpected…
Easy Almond Crusted Pizza

Top with your favorite…
Rustic Tomato Toast (Pan Con Tomate)
When you have overly ripe tomatoes, almost too soft to slice, make Pan Con Tomate. This humble, rustic toast is a way to take tomatoes and bread and turn them into a meal. You need only a few simple ingredients but the quality of these ingredients is what creates perfection. Be sure to use the…
Marinated Grilled Chicken Breasts. Say Goodbye to Dry!
Boneless, skinless, chicken breasts are certainly a lean, healthy protein choice but they come with some baggage. Because they are so lean, if you’re not careful when cooking them, they can go from cooked tender to tough and dry in a matter of seconds. Never again! A huge thank you to Cook’s Illustrated for cracking…

4-Ingredient Chickpea and Rosemary Frittata
