Miso Tahini Tofu Bowls
I’ve been on the quest for the perfect miso tahini dressing. This one goes great in a bowl with whatever veggies you have in your fridge!
Sometimes, you just need some protein and veggies. I came up with this salad after making my lemon basil salad dressing. I knew I wanted to drizzle the dressing on something crunchy and fresh, which made me think of juicy red peppers and romaine. But I also knew I didn’t want to be hungry later, […]
Do you ever have too much of an herb left over? Me too. Time to put them to good use. I also had an excess of lemons (I know, is there such thing?) so I decided to put two and two together into a dressing. I’ll admit, my expectations were mediocre at best … and […]

30 Minute Miso Brussels
I don’t know where in my 25 years Brussels sprouts went from firmly in the “eat your vegetables” category to a menu must-have at every trendy restaurant — but the pendulum has firmly swung to the latter. I’ve tried many Brussels sprout recipes over the years, and I think this may be by far the […]
Do you know the phrase, “Everything but the kitchen sink”? That is how I would describe the genesis of this dressing.
