Whether you participate in Meatless Monday or are vegetarian every day of the week; incorporating veggie focused meals is essential for our bodies and the planet. Not to mention they are all super yummy of course.

Smoky Beans on Toast

Smoky Beans on Toast

Beans on Toast is a beloved staple in any British household. And my home was no different, even though we were living in the desert. It was a go to meal any time of day, breakfast lunch or dinner. It was easy, quick, and filled 

Tomato and Pecorino Puffs

Tomato and Pecorino Puffs

Tomato and Pecorino puffs are a fancy way of saying a circular piece of puff pastry with tomato and cheese on it. But however you say it, it tastes delicious and makes you look like the fanciest of chefs. I like this recipe for two 

Grilled Peach Salad with Caesar-Poppy Seed Dressing

Grilled Peach Salad with Caesar-Poppy Seed Dressing

Korean Spicy Tofu Spaghetti

Korean Spicy Tofu Spaghetti

A few weeks ago, M and I were wanting to change up our weeknight dinner routine. Despite the occasional home made pizza or chicken tacos, it almost undoubtedly always consists of a  vegetable stir-fry and pasta with marinara sauce. The main reason being that they 

Tangy Tofu Bahn Mi
