Stop buying that bottled nonsense and make a batch of this triple threat awesome sauce. Great on steaks and burgers, or as a chicken marinade. Brush onto whitefish fillets for fish tacos. We even made an amazing adobo turkey chili. We combine chipotle, ancho and guajillo chili peppers with smoked paprika for a smoky-sweetness with […]
Who says you need mayo to make a good slaw? Crisp, refreshing and packed with nutrients, this slaw is substantial enough to be its own meal, or used as a side next to the protein of your choice. The citrus dressing doubles as a marinade for chicken. It’s ridiculous. You should try it, even if […]
Cucumbers and red bell peppers belong together, and not just on a veggie tray. When spiralized, these two vegetables present an entirely new experience we so creatively call Sesame Cucumber and Red Pepper Noodle Salad. The cucumbers take the place of grain-based noodles in this cold noodle classic, with a cool crunch that offsets the […]
Yes, Vegan Chickpea Flour Scrambled Eggs really do taste like scrambled eggs. The secret is kala namak (black Indian salt), which imparts the flavor of a hardboiled egg, courtesy of its chemical composition. The formula is simple: it begins with equal parts chickpea flour and liquid (water, vegetable broth, or a combination thereof). Nutritional yeast […]
The best part about tacos is…um, tacos. The worst part about tacos is the sodium bomb seasoning packet. We’re doing it from scratch to control the salt and promise you’ll never go back. We miss corn tortillas and taco shells, but this taco salad with Otto’s Cassava Flour Tortillas made us feel a whole lot […]
Today we will be discussing the overcooking of fresh green beans. It is an absolute travesty. Stop the insanity and learn how to roast…or even blanch. End transmission. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s talk about the amazing green beans we got from Owl’s Roost Farm at North End City Market and how we […]
We know…we had you at “pecan crusted”. Like, anyone can put goat cheese in a salad, but our Pecan Crusted Goat Cheese Salad is something special because…well…pecans. It’s borderline boujee, and makes you want to say things like, “Yes, quite right!” and “Please do pass the dressing, old chap.” Presently, we are gridlocked over which […]
Whether you’re a fan of a good Memphis Style Dry Rub or sticky, tangy, Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce, we’ve got you covered. The trouble with barbecue is the sugar load in commercial rubs and sauces, but we can easily address that with low-GI sweeteners. What we can’t duplicate is the chemistry that enables cane sugar to […]
Hakurei turnips are a mild, fast growing variety of Japanese turnip and a staple at farmers markets, especially in spring and early summer. Unlike the purple grocery store variety, Hakurei turnips are small white globes that are tender and mild enough to be eaten raw, alone or in salads. They are typically sold in one-pound […]
The base for our Caprese Salad with Cherry Tomato Balsamic Reduction is identical to our traditionally dressed Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad, but adds the familiar component of a balsamic reduction found in most restaurant versions of the dish. Once again, we’re using sweet cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls for convenience, aesthetics, and portion control. That’s […]
We’ve been waiting for broccolini all summer and finally found some at North end City Market this past weekend. Broccolini is milder and sweeter than regular broccoli and doesn’t need dressing up too much. Thinner stalks make it ideal for blanching and tossing in a garlic and lemon mix for a light side dish that […]
If we’re being honest, grain-free pancakes can be dense and heavy unless they’re full of eggs to fluff them up. We wanted a grain-free recipe that was also plant-based, and after much experimentation, we arrived at Vegan Chickpea Flour Pancakes. For this recipe, we tried several brands of flour and Anthony’s consistently delivered delicious and […]
We used fresh tomatoes and garlic from Yaeger’s Farm Market in DeKalb, IL to whip up a fast and easy Vegan Black Bean Soup that satisfies like a stew and is packed with protein and vegetables (more info following recipe). Oven roasting the tomatoes and garlic creates a rich, smoky flavor that is well worth […]
Broccoli and Cheese does not have to mean a diced broccoli mush swimming in a neon orange river of cheese-flavored goo. Tell us where that stuff is found in nature, we dare you. Our Vegan Cheesy Roasted Broccoli is a healthier version (made with plant-based ingredients you can pronounce) that delivers on flavor and makes […]
