Dairy-Free Chipotle Sauce

April 30, 2017 by Nicole 1 Comment

I’ve got a two-part recipe to share with you guys in preparation for Cinco de Mayo next week. Today we’ve got this incredible dairy-free chipotle sauce (seriously it’s delicious) and on Tuesday we’ve got tacos using this vegan aioli wonder. I typically never line up my blog’s content with calendar holidays because I’m a disorganized hot mess so let’s just all take a moment to appreciate the seasonality and relevancy of today’s post. *pats self on back*

Tacos, burritos, nachos–all perfect matches for this vegan chipotle aioli sauce. But it also makes for an unreal dip for french fries or homemade potato wedges. And if you’re looking to assemble a Buddha bowl with a flavor kick, try drizzling it over your favorite roasted veggies and grains. Clearly there are tons of uses and it’ll keep well in the refrigerator all week. If you’re meal prepping this weekend, add this recipe to your list!

[amd-zlrecipe-recipe:103] Flavorful sauces and the right seasoning combinations can completely transform a meal. I’m by no stretch of the imagination a trained cook, but over the years I’ve come to realize that. I mentioned The Flavor Bible in a past My Favorite Things post (I have the Vegetarian version), and it’s been so helpful in creating sauces (like this dairy-free chipotle sauce!) and spice combos that actually work with the ingredients I have. It’s seriously become my holy grail in the kitchen. Highly recommend it to any other aspiring home chefs. 🙂

Stay tuned for Tuesday’s taco recipe! It was a huge hit in my apartment–granted that’s comprised of two people, but Joe is ridiculously picky so he carries a lot of weight. That’s what I tell myself anyway …

Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus

February 20, 2017 by Nicole 15 Comments

This roasted sweet potato hummus recipe was originally posted to the blog in 2013, but was deserving of new photography so I’m re-publishing it today with new text and pictures. I eat it with pita chips, fruit (apple slices + this hummus = heaven) and veggies, and also spread it on sandwiches like this one.

This is one of those snacks I make so often I don’t even need to look at the recipe anymore. It’s so yummy! Hummus is something I always have in the refrigerator and while I don’t make my own every week, when I do, 9 times out of 10 it’s this roasted sweet potato version.

For everyone with today off, hope you’re enjoying a fun long weekend! The weather has been uh-mazing these last couple days! I’m down in New Jersey visiting Joe’s family, but we’re heading back to Boston later today.

Do you have a favorite hummus variation?

Spinach-Packed Turmeric Egg Bake

February 5, 2017 by Nicole 5 Comments

This turmeric egg bake is packed with spinach and shredded sweet potato, and while it’s not the most photogenic of meals, I promise the delicious taste makes up for the appearance. I’m sure a lot of you have Super Bowl food on the brain today rather than healthy breakfast meal prep, but this is a good recipe to pin for later. It’s easy to put together and you can store it in the refrigerator to have breakfast ready to go the next couple days.
