Salmon Cakes with Creamy Dill Sauce (GF, DF)

Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day yesterday with people that you love! I spent the day working (duh, it was Wednesday) and then made dinner at home with boyfriend. I tend to prefer making dinner at home, especially on a day like Valentine’s Day, for […]

Thai Green Coconut Curry with Shrimp

Ginger. Garlic. Green curry. Shrimp. Coconut milk. Carrots. Zucchini. I don’t think you can go wrong when you combine these ingredients! This spicy, creamy, veggie-filled soup is hearty, delicious, and soul-soothing. This recipe was inspired by Cookie and Kate’s Thai green curry, with a few variations. The addition of shrimp […]

roasted carrot curry dip with naan bread

Roasted Carrot Curry Dip

Roasted carrots + curry are such a match made in heaven. This is a variation on my curried carrot coconut soup, just an appetizer version! This is perfect with some toasty, buttery naan bread (I did not make my own – I’m not a baker at all!) If you’re in […]

crispy orange tofu lettuce wraps

Crispy Orange Tofu

Hi friends! I have been thinking about this recipe for a while and been trying to perfect this little orange sauce. Orange chicken used to be my faaaave order at Panda Express (+chow mein, +teriyaki chicken to make it a full meal duh). But I haven’t eaten chicken in about […]

Crispy Coconut Shrimp

Hi friends! I am absolutely loving this coconut shrimp recipe. Coconut shrimp is one of my fave appetizers to get at restaurants…but the health factor is not so good: deep-fried? vegetable oil? tons of salt? Not this one though! I made this a little healthier by pan-frying in some coconut […]

curried cauliflower and potato soup

Roasted Cauliflower and Potato Soup

It is pretty hard to believe that this soup is entirely dairy-free, but trust me on this one, it is creamy and delicious beyond belief! I make up for not using dairy by using almond milk as part of the base, and it definitely does the job. If you are […]

curried carrot soup

Curried Carrot Coconut Soup

This soup has the perfect amount of sweet and spicy and is ideal for a chilly fall meal (granted, it is not chilly in San Diego yet, but we’ll get there eventually!). I actually already had all of these ingredients in my kitchen and pantry; it’s a very simple soup! […]

pesto veggie frittata

Dairy-Free Pesto Veggie Frittata

This frittata is perfect to make on a weekend morning, and then you get leftovers for the whole next week! It is packed with veggies, tons of protein from the eggs, and delicious flavor from the pesto. Frittatas are great because you can switch them up with whatever veggies and […]

green tropical kale smoothie

Tropikale Cooler

I have had this smoothie name in my head for about 4 years. I was working at a juice and smoothie bar at the time, and they had a smoothie that was tropical-ish and had kale in it. And they did NOT call it “tropikale cooler” and I never understood […]

cilantro pesto zoodles with shrimp

Cilantro Pesto Zoodles with Garlic Butter Shrimp

This meal is so simple to make, yet so flavorful and filling. If you’re not yet familiar with zoodles, they are “noodles” made out of spiralized zucchini. Fiber-filled, lower-carb versions of everyone’s favorite food. I realize this is another recipe starring zucchini, but it’s just such an all-star veggie, I […]
