If you follow me on Instagram or Tik Tok, you know that I’ve started a Hungry Lady Salad series and this means LOTS of delicious, healthy, filling salads are coming your way. Perhaps you’ve tried the Tuscan Kale Chopped Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing. That…
If my last post was a Hungry Lady Soup, this is a Hungry Lady Salad. With hearty greens, chickpeas, and sesame paste (tahini) it’s very filling and packed with nutrients. I love this salad all through the year, but especially in the winter months when…
Oh, this jelly. I’ve been making this Cranberry Red Pepper Jelly for about a decade, every Christmas, and it’s my absolute favorite thing to give as a homemade gift. Cookies are fabulous, obviously, as a holiday treat, but it’s the most common food to receive…
Let’s all come together and start supporting light, bite sized appetizers, shall we? I’m all for hearty first courses, don’t get me wrong, but how many holidays have you experienced where everyone fills up on appetizers and then leaves almost no room for the main…
If you’ve been here for a while, you know that I don’t tend to go heavy on the Thanksgiving food posts. This is not because I don’t love Thanksgiving, I do. It is because, of all the holidays, I find Thanksgiving to be the one…
This is the tomato soup to trump all other tomato soups. Whether you are only familiar with the iconic Campbell’s tomato soup can, an experienced tomato soup fan or not particularly crazy about traditional tomato soup (truth be told, I would classify myself here), I…
Erewhon Market is a natural foods gourmet eatery and store in Los Angeles that draws a big celebrity crowd. If, like myself, you don’t live in LA, you may not have ever been. One of the dishes they are famous for is this Kale +…
Ranch dressing… it has a reputation. It’s widely loved, and understandably. It’s creamy, savory, and really flavorful. Some people even put it on their pizza, though that’s a contentious debate I don’t have time to weigh in on here. My husband loves ranch dressing, but…
Oh, this pasta. This. Pasta. This is exactly the pasta I want to eat in the summer when produce is at its peak and the days are long and hot. This Creamed Corn Pasta with Zucchini is loaded with vegetables and has a delicious sauce…
Know someone who doesn’t like Brussels sprouts? Let’s change their mind. These Brussels are inspired by the famed Union Square Cafe in New York City, and they are SO delicious. They are sliced thin (I use a mandolin for this) and tossed with lemon, fragrant…
I posted about this vegan chocolate mousse on Tik tok, and the video went viral. there were so many guesses about what the base ingredient could be: avocado, black beans, acquafaba, coconut milk…. the list goes on. the answer, and what we are making here,…
If you’ve been here a while, you know how much I adore hummus. In fact, tahini has become one of my favorite ingredients and I’m so thankful to the Indian and Middle Eastern cultures and cuisine that brought it to us here in America. I’ve…
Okay, I’m excited about this. This recipe, if I do say so, is a bit of a marvel. I even surprised myself when I first made it, it tasted like it had been cooking for hours and was both hearty and nourishing in a way…
I know you’re reading this because the idea of using three ingredients to make a delicious dish is appealing to you. I don’t blame you, it’s appealing to me too. Unfortunately, many dishes marketed this way feel forced, and even incomplete. Not so here. I…
Oh, tacos, how I love thee. With Cinco de Mayo coming up, of course I was going to bring you a Mexican inspired recipe. However, I had these cauliflower tacos locked and loaded to post in the next few weeks anyway because they are SO…
You probably know this already, but not all hummus is created equal. I find most store bought hummus to be a bit gritty, and have a harsh taste. There are exceptions, of course, but hummus is so easy to make at home there is no…
The internet has been going a little crazy for one-pan pastas lately. You may have heard of the Baked Feta Pasta trend, which I’ll admit, is actually worth the hype. I’ve adapted a few recipes based on that method and will be sharing one very…
Happy Spring, my friends! It’s been a long time coming, I know. Let’s kick it off with one of my favorite salads, Shaved Spring Salad with Creamy Tarragon Vinaigrette, perfect for Easter or any spring lunch. When the weather temps start to rise, I lean…
