Looking for a nourishing, flavor-packed meal to wow your friends (or just yourself)? This Asian-inspired Buddha Bowl is a total knockout! I served it at a girls' dinner night and OMG—every bite was better than the last. Featuring five-spice roasted veggies, basmati rice, tofu-cashew sauté, and a creamy miso tahini dressing, this bowl is endlessly customizable. I topped mine with sautéed spinach, avocado, sprouts, green onions, and furikake for the ultimate umami crunch. Bonus? It tastes even better the next day!

I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. This is my take on a healthier version of the classic morning glory muffin. While most bakeries offer these muffins—and they seem healthy thanks to the carrots—they’re often loaded with refined sugar and processed ingredients. Adding a vegetable doesn’t automatically make a pastry nutritious! So, I reimagined the recipe to be refined sugar-free and optionally gluten-free. I even snuck in an extra veggie: zucchini! Give my version a try and let me know what you think.

This my favorite way to prepare cauliflower! Sometimes its rare to be able to find these big beautiful purple cauliflower heads, which is okay! You can use this recipe for almost all vegetables.

Make sure to keep an eye on your fries the last 10 minutes of cooking, remember, every oven is different and some cook faster than others. Make sure you don’t forget fresh herbs at the market for garnish, I promise they make the dish delish!

Here is my simple chocolate chip cookies loaded with goodies. I love adding different textures to my desserts. I folded in walnuts, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips to make these cookies extra yum! I typically try to create my desserts dairy free, and sometimes vegan. This recipe has eggs but can easily become vegan by replacing the eggs with a flax egg! I also recommend ALWAYS topping any cookie with a bit of flaky salt before baking. It gives a perfect sweet + salty flavor to the cookie. Enjoy!

This is the perfect side or main dish for any Italian night! Try whatever vegetables you prefer in the stack.
