Caribbean Burritos with Mango-Lime Salsa

This burrito recipe is pure wow, from head to toe. Fragrant coconut-cinnamon rice, fresh and zingy mango-lime salsa, hearty black beans, and exotic toasted coconut flakes…you get the picture. If you’d like to reduce the carb content in this recipe, turn it into a “grain bowl” by omitting the tortilla and just spooning the beans and salsa atop a pile of coconut rice.

Asian Tofu Fajitas

We first tasted these fajitas at a friend’s housewarming party. Meghan McKinney, the author of this recipe, served them to us on perfectly warmed corn tortillas and a little scoop of brown rice. Needless to say, they were a hit.

Quick Chia-Nut Granola

It’s dangerous to have crunchy, freshly baked granola sitting on the counter within arm’s reach.  This is a small batch so exercise your willpower and appease your temptations with just one hot cluster.

Tofu Thai Curry

If you’re like me and have a primarily plant-based diet, Thai restaurants are probably near and dear to your heart.  Why?  Usually if not always, a large part of their menus are vegan!  This curry recipe is as close to restaurant taste and quality as I’ve ever tasted.  A must try.  (Thanks to Sharon Cho for this recipe.)

Humble Lentils

Humble Lentils

Lentils shine because they know how to get out of the way. Whether it’s caramelized onions or oregano, lentils provide a comforting palette for flavors to shine. So get creative, break out the spice rack, and let the humble lentils shine!

Velez’s Hearty Minestrone

When Daniel cooks this in the office, we all abandon our packed lunches and drool around the kitchen until he offers us some.
