This isn't a "recipe" so much as it is a way to combine ingredients on top of bread so that it's a full-on meal with minimal effort. I had all of this stuff on hand, some ingredients thanks to meal prep (quick pickled bell peppers), and some ingredients courtesy of my local farmer's market (smoked … Continue reading Roasted Sourdough with Smoked Salmon and Vegetables

Baguette Crisps
This is a very simple recipe, but an important one if you buy fresh baguettes (or other fresh breads) -- it helps preserve the deliciousness inherent within, that sometimes just gets tossed instead of made into its own wonderfulness. Many other cultures relish their stale bread. They can be made into soups, croutons, bread crumbs, … Continue reading Baguette Crisps
Refried Bean Quesadillas

Pretty much everything … Continue reading Lemony Herbed Breakfast Salad

This recipe lends itself to using up whatever items you already have on hand. Instead of cilantro, parsley, and chives, you can use whatever fresh herbs you may have on hand. I think … Continue reading Cod en Papillote over Mixed Greens
Tempeh Tacos with Healthy Sour Cream
In college I attended a school in a small college town called Clemson. I was vegetarian or vegan for almost the entirety of my college career, and in small college towns, there were very few offerings in the way of vegan or vegetarian food. So, I had to learn to cook for myself! I obtained … Continue reading Tempeh Tacos with Healthy Sour Cream
