It seems everywhere I turn lately there are articles and ads on dieting, cleanses and eating clean. Sure it's the New Year and everyone is looking to make positive changes. But there's plenty of room within that for, say, a hefty and satisfying meatball. More

After the rich indulgences of Thanksgiving, I wanted nothing more than a big pile of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, our CSA share came to the rescue with a crisp Napa cabbage, peppery pink radishes, and mandarin oranges to awaken the palate. I threw in some zesty baked tofu and crunchy Asian pear, and the result was this vibrant and nutritious cool-weather salad. More

Lasagna is the quintessential easy–to–throw–together, comforting, affordable and satisfying dish to serve a crowd. Think of the bubbly cheesiness being cut through by bright tomato sauce and perfectly cooked noodles. It's the perfect food!

This recipe also includes my secret weapon ingredient, which lightens the richness up a smidge and no one will ever know. Can you guess what this mystery item is? Don't knock it till you try it! More

Last week we shared a recipe for Carrot-Ginger Dressing, which we use on everything from salad to sandwiches. One of our favorite ways to serve this sauce is over tofu-hijiki patties. The patties happen to be vegan but most importantly, they're packed with umami flavor. More

We've been talking about soy a lot this week, from tofu to more tofu to edamame and even soy cheese. For many vegetarians and vegans (and people who grew up in Asian households!), these are dietary staples.

So why would I, a lifelong vegetarian who considers tofu one of her favorite foods, decide to stop eating so much of it? More

So "vegan-ish" isn't really a thing, but this recipe is so close we can almost taste it! With a few small adjustments this recipe can be entertaining a crowd of all types, no matter what their dietary restrictions.
