Smoky 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...
Pesto Pizza (vegan)
Can you say crowd pleaser? Combining two of my favorite meals (pizza + salad) into one fabulous dish just delights me. I must admit, I had never really considered putting salad on pizza. That is, until I had a bunch of arugula laying around (along with some butternut...

Holiday Granola
This year, I chose to give the gift of holiday granola to the many people that I adore. Why granola? Well, first of all, why not? slightly sweet + crunchy + coconut = good enough to eat plain by the handful. you get me. And may I make a gentle suggestion? If you are...
