This recipe is the result of wanting a very comforting meal without almost any hassle and definitely without having to dirty more than one pot. The result was just that, and was even better when I reheated it for lunch the following day.

I made this as a side dish for these gluten-free waffles a few weeks back. They didn’t turn out how I intended, but man did they taste amazing! Such a great, savory side dish for brunch or dinner.

I love all of the opportunity a plain roasted sweet potato presents. The addition of pesto, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts, quinoa and chickpeas make it magical.

Aioli is a sauce traditionally made with olive, oil, lemon, garlic and egg yolks, but this one’s a little different in that it includes softened raw cashews instead of egg yolks. Plus, smoked paprika is like magic pixie dust. Don’t skimp and grab for regular paprika. Buy a little bottle of the smoked version, and I promise you won’t regret it. I’ll be looking for new ways to incorporate it, so stay tuned. My first experiment was to add it to hummus — delicious!

I’ve been all about dishes that liven up cold-weather staples lately. Cilantro and lime add lots of brightness and color to a soup that has lots of warm flavors, a nice combination.

I was inspired to come up with this recipe when I read about the unlikely combination of sweet potatoes and olives in a recent issue of Vegetarian Times, which suggested that the sweetness of the potatoes can be balanced with the tangyness of the olives. Spot on, VT. I added some edamame and scallions for color and some cashews for crunch, and a blanket of balsamic vinaigrette sealed the deal. This dish was delicious.

Ever since Sarah tried this *beautiful* roasted sweet potato with Brussels sprouts, etc., I’ve been dying to come up with a roasted sweet potato recipe on my own. This rendition was based on what I had in my fridge and pantry: some salsa, leftover cabbage, feta, green onions, tortilla chips and kidney beans. Not a bad combination!

Using bottled korma sauce saves time and money and make this pizza perfect for weeknight dinners or quick weekend snacks.

If you’re curious, there don’t seem to be many recipes for creasy greens out there. Here in Southwest Virginia, they tend to be served simply with a bit of bacon grease, vinegar and sugar, like this man from Bland County describes in his video. (I’m still confused whether he’s talking about watercress or creasy greens, but you’ll get the idea.) I added onions and sweet potatoes and mixed in a bit of crispy bacon for my dish, which seemed to suit the floral-scented creasy greens well.
