Gazpacho is the most interesting dish you’ve heard of but have never tried due to your ambivalence about “cold soup”. We contend that it is absolutely delicious when made with quality ingredients. We like to prepare a base mixture two different ways in what we have ingeniously dubbed Two-way Gazpacho. One is creamy and smooth […]
Pinto beans and rice recipes are equally abundant and varied. We’ve seen some that include ham and others that use ketchup (wut?). Our Pinto Beans and Cauliflower Rice is simple and straightforward, using just Homemade Taco Seasoning and the option of adding tomato paste or serving with fresh Pico de Gallo. Which is better and […]
If you like knowing what’s in your food, making your own breakfast sausage is a must. Store brands often contain things like soy protein concentrate, dextrose, and the nefariously vague “flavorings”. The truth is, you can make your own sausage patties at home in no time flat. We’re big fans of ground turkey, but this […]
You know how this goes. You tell yourself you’ll have just one little bite of [insert sugar-laden dessert here]. That is a dirty, dirty lie. But sometimes a girl just needs a crunchy, sugary carb…in this case, without the sugar or carb bomb. Satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your week. Cassava flour contains resistant […]
Though elusive, every once in a while, ingredients align and just the right amount of every flavor gets onto the fork to create the perfect bite. Our Apple Beet Salad with Maple Dijon Dressing is a bowl full of the perfect bite with tangy Dijon maple dressing, crunchy SweeTango apples, earthy roasted red beets, mild […]
Summer may be the best season for tomatoes, but these cold winter days are the perfect time for tomato soup. Our Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup can be frozen up to six months, so plan ahead and put your summer surplus or farmer’s market haul to work. During winter, it’s worth the splurge to pick up […]
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 […]
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 […]
There are two types of people: those who love Korean beef, and those who have never tried it. We feel sorry for the latter, because it’s an indescribably delicious dish that is especially easy and affordable if using ground beef. In our ongoing effort to eat more plant-based meals, we created Vegan Korean Beef with […]
Single-serve egg cups, perfect for breakfast on the run. Like our Sausage & Mushroom version, these egg cups are great for weekday breakfasts or a quick meal on the run. They freeze and reheat well so you can make batches ahead of time. Filling options are virtually limitless, making these perfect for even the pickiest […]
Chicago’s Greek Town has some of the best food on the planet, and this recipe is an at-home version of simple Greek cooking staples that never disappoint. Fast enough for a weeknight dinner and awesome as leftovers. If possible, plan ahead and marinate the chicken overnight (we promise it’s worth the wait). Otherwise, marinate at […]
You can’t have corned beef without cabbage. Well…you can, but that would just be ridiculous. Traditionally, the corned beef and cabbage are boiled or slow cooked together, but we’re Instant Pot people, so we roast our vegetables while the corned beef is cooking. Our Roasted Green Cabbage goes perfectly with our Instant Pot Corned Beef […]

Celebrate your adulting success with a veggie-packed tuna salad made with high-quality, solid tuna that’s canned with no added water. If you love that intense tuna flavor, use skipjack. For a lighter […]
