Cashew Cheese

Read MoreAvocado & Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad Recipe
Have you ever eaten Brussels Sprouts raw? Oh yes, raw. Finely sliced fresh Brussels Sprouts are crisp + delicious. Similar to shredded cabbage in texture, but more flavorful.

Read MoreSmoky Sweet Potato + Black Bean Chili
Enough already, Old Man Winter! A forecast that calls for a high of 20 degrees plus 14″of snow is a call to arms. Only the heartiest, most rib-sticking dishes need enlist for the task. And there’s just something about chili — it’s so versatile and satisfying. Ground beef, you’re not invited to this party. But…

I sigh with happiness.…

Holy smokes. I eat a lot of chickpeas. Here’s my favorite new way to eat these delectable little legumes. Roast them up with sriracha sauce and a bit of curry powder until they’re nice + crunchy. Tell me, do you think they put some crazy illegal substance in sriracha to keep you coming back for…
