Dinner Ideas

Summer Veggie Pasta Salad

June 25, 2015 by Cara

Add a fun flair with your Summer Pasta Salad by placing them into bell pepper buckets.

I live in a very tiny apartment/studio here in LA. It’s a mix between a bachelor and one bedroom and despite the fact that I am convinced I am living in Hades, this place was not equipped with air conditioning. Why that is, is beyond me but we have a window unit that lovingly blows…

Taco “Ice Cream” Cones

June 23, 2015 by Cara

With all this posting of ice cream here and here, how about making dinner look like dessert with Taco “Ice Cream” Cones? Because sometimes you need a savory treat in the form of a sweet one. Besides, what kid wouldn’t want a taco that looks like ice cream? Well, really I am sure they would…

Buckwheat Noodles (gluten free)

March 12, 2015 by Cara

Look, there’s no shame in opening up a bag of pre-made pasta, throwing into a pot of boiling water, and letting the stove top do all of the work. The thought of making fresh, in-home pasta can sound extremely overwhelming and not worth the effort, not to mention requires a pasta maker that many don’t…

The Ultimate Tempeh Sandwich

March 7, 2015 by Cara

This is one of those sandwiches you need a fork and knife to eat. You know, like how George Castanza started with the candy bar? Yeah I’m doing that with this Ultimate Tempeh Sandwich. This little beauty is messy and requires at least four napkins to wipe off the leftovers from your face and fingers….

Green Chile Enchilada Quesadillas

March 3, 2015 by Cara

When I put this tortilla recipe out into the world, I had no idea how much it would change dinner for so many. I knew *I* missed pliable, roll-able, good-tasting tortillas but I guess I underestimated how much so many others who are gluten free did too. The consensus is once you make them, you…

Cauliflower: 3 Different Ways

February 26, 2015 by Cara

Sometimes it’s difficult to see past a vegetable and imagine new ways to use it other than raw in your salad or boringly steamed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious and healthy in its own right but sometimes it gets well, boring. There has GOT to be a way to spice things up while sticking…

Homemade Vegetable Broth

February 19, 2015 by Cara

When you have to be extremely mindful of what you are putting into your body, it’s rather entertaining being that one person in the grocery aisle for a good five minutes, making sure you have read the labels properly, understanding each ingredient and whether or not it is allowed on your particular eating plan. Even…
