Ramen Noodle Rice Paper Rolls with Fresh Basil and Shaved Red Cabbage
Salad rolls are one of my favorite summer meals because they’re so light and fresh, but also because they’re pretty fool proof. This combination was made from a bunch of items I happened to have on hand in my fridge and it allowed me to use up some leftover ramen noodles. You can us...

Zero Waste Daikon Radish Chips with Radish Top Pesto Aioli
I’ve been experimenting with zero waste recipes and this is one of my favorites so far! I utilized all parts of the radish in this dish and obviously they taste amazing together. If you’ve never used cured sumac before, I strongly suggest you get your hands on some for this recipe. ...

Beyond Meat Kafta with Herb and Lemon Yogurt
Beyond Meat recently became available to order from SPUD.ca, so I’ve been doing a lot of recipe experimentation. This plant-based kafta was one of those experiments! Beyond meat is delicious, high in protein and iron and way more sustainable than beef — the production of Beyond Meat ...

Vegan Earl Grey Super Seed Crackers

Vegan Gingerbread Cookies Rolled in Crushed Organic Candy Canes
I’ll admit I was a little surprised how good these vegan cookies are. They’re soft, chewy, crunchy, spicy amazingness. I’m legit never going back to butter and eggs in my gingerbread. Another benefit to baking vegan cookies is being able to eat as much raw dough as you want &#...
