We already have a delicious banh mi recipe on the blog. It’s of the more traditional sandwich variety, but untraditional in that it features tofu instead of meat. If you haven’t made it, you should.

How To: Quickie Meal – Spice Roasted Chickpea and Sweet Potato Bowls with Tahini Sauce
I feel like I deserve a medal. Not for my epic gymnastics floor routine or super fast back stroke (Olympics on the brain much?), but for braving this heat and turning on the oven to roast these vegetables. All in the name of the blog. #dedicated. Can we just talk bout this heat for one…
How To: Quickie Meal – Lime and Curry Marinated Tofu Stir Fry with Mushrooms, Red Peppers, and Corn
I’m always looking for new ways to jazz up that old block of tofu. We’ve roasted it, we’ve served it cold, we’ve even turned it into a delicious burger. Can you believe we have yet to stir fry it?! I know, crazy town! I think stir-frying has to be the most common method of cooking…

It always sounds so good with the supposed crispy noodles and tangy dressing, but then you take a bite and you either have a way too sweet dressing, overcooked bland chicken, or a salt explosion in your mouth. This Asian chicken salad…
How To: Quickie Meal – One Pan Roasted Chicken Breasts with Lemon, Brussels Sprouts, and Butternut Squash
I survived. I made it through the 8 days of Passover. 8 days of forgoing my usual oatmeal breakfast. 8 days of giving up muffins and granola bars. 8 days of choosing a salad over a sandwich for lunch. 8 days of Matzah pizza. Well, that last part was okay. And I did it without eating quinoa 27 million…
