April 3, 2018 by Alyssa 13 Comments

One Pot Spring Pesto Pasta with Peas & Asparagus

This healthy Spring Pesto Pasta combines homemade vegan pesto, peas, asparagus and artichokes, for a perfect, one-pot weeknight meal! So far this Spring has not felt like Spring. We've had unexpected snowstorms, we've had cold windy days, we haven't had much sun, and yet still the flowers are peeking through the ground, the grass is turning green and the birds are singing. It's an exciting … [Read more...]

Easy Vegan Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

Easy Vegan Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

You have to try this Vegan Sun Dried Tomato Pesto! It's simple to make, delicious on top of pizza, pasta and zucchini noodles, and can even be served as a dip! I can't even explain how much I adore this pesto! It stemmed from my constant obsession with quinoa pizza crust, which seems to be taking over my summer meals, and I was in desperate need of changing things up. We love pesto pizza, … [Read more...]

Everyday Vegan Pesto

Everyday Vegan Pesto

You know when you make something off the cuff and it's tastes soooo good, but then you try and try to recreate it and you can't? That's what happened this vegan pesto recipe. I made it when I was in Vermont a few weeks ago, didn't measure, didn't keep track of what I was adding and it turned out to be the best damn pesto I've ever tasted. Tried to recreate it the next day and fail. Since then … [Read more...]

Pesto Quinoa Salad Bowls with Grilled Tofu

Pesto Quinoa Salad Bowls with Grilled Tofu

Every summer should start with bright sunny days, dinners outside and tons of grilled veggies. At least that's how I want all of my summers to start. This can be a little tricky when you live in NYC, have zero direct access to the outdoors from your apartment and your grill pan sets the smoke alarm (and scares the crap out of you dog) every time you use it. Luckily, I have Vermont. If … [Read more...]

Raw Avocado Pesto Zucchini Noodles

I think I might be a bit ahead of schedule for this recipe in terms of seasonality, but I’m eagerly awaiting summer and as such my diet has basically consisted of all things summery for the last month. One of my staples has been zucchini noodles. You might recognize this particular dish from my latest What I Eat in a Day video; they’re the avocado pesto zucchini noodles that you guys have … [Read more...]

Super Green Quinoa Bowls with Hemp Seed Pesto

Sometimes it's easy to get down during the winter. I mean right now it's literally -5ºF out, there's a dusting of snow on the ground and it's not even sunny. Everything looks cold and dead outside and it's hard to not think about the abundance of summer. Green grass, colorful flowers and fresh produce galore. Okay...now I'm just torturing myself. But on the bright side, there is some … [Read more...]

5-ingredient Pesto Spaghetti Squash Boats

It's the first official work week of 2016. How are ya handling it? I have to admit, it was pretty hard to sit down yesterday morning and get back into the work mindset. I just spent about 2 weeks away from my computer, my inbox was over flowing, I had tons of social media to catch up on and I had zero recipes in the queue. But after being on vacation and not being that strict with my eating (or … [Read more...]
