This lentil dal with roasted garlic and lemon is my idea of comfort food that still tastes awake. You get that slow-roasted, mellow garlic (sweet, almost jammy), simmered into tender red lentils, then a big squeeze of lemon at the end to snap everything into focus. It's the kind of vegan dal recipe that feels […]

This is my go-to bowl when I want that slow-simmered, Sunday-supper feeling without the actual oxtails: a rich, hearty jackfruit "oxtail" soup built on browned mushrooms, aromatics, and a broth that tastes like it's been babysat all day. If you're hunting for a vegan oxtail recipe jackfruit fans will actually crave, this one nails the […]

If "marry me soup" is supposed to be the kind of dinner that makes someone fall a little harder, this beef-and-barley version is my love letter to the concept: deep, savory beefy broth, chewy barley, tender chunks of chuck, and that signature Marry Me swirl of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs, cream, and parmesan. It eats […]

This vegetarian pad thai curry with tofu and bell peppers is what happens when pad thai gets a little cozy with a Thai curry night. You still get the chewy rice noodles, tangy-sweet-salty vibe, and big crunchy toppings, but there's also a silky coconut-curry sauce that clings to every strand. It's weeknight-friendly, pantry-flexible, and genuinely […]

If you want a korean green beans recipe that hits the sweet-spicy-savory trifecta without turning dinner into a whole production, this is the one I make on repeat. The green beans stay snappy, the garlic gets fragrant, and then everything gets lacquered in a gochujang glaze that's equal parts spicy warmth and sticky umami. It […]

This lemon herb italian sausage tortellini soup is what I make when I want something cozy and rich, but I also want it to taste like I actually tried. You get savory Italian sausage, sweet sautéed onions, a whole lot of garlic, and pillowy cheese tortellini-then right at the end, lemon zest and juice wake […]

This crispy Thai chicken sausage stir-fry is what I make when I want big Thai street-food energy without committing to an all-day project. We mix up a super-fragrant, Thai-style chicken sausage (think garlicky, lemongrassy, lime-leafy vibes), sear it hard until it gets those irresistible browned bits, then toss it with a quick savory-sweet sauce, snappy […]

This chickpea salad sandwich is what happens when a classic deli-style mash meets a bright, garlicky homemade vegan pesto spread and gets tucked into toasted bread with crunchy veg. It's creamy but not heavy, herby without tasting like lawn clippings, and sturdy enough to pack for work without turning into a soggy mess. If you've […]

This creamy Thai red curry beef with bamboo shoots is the exact kind of dinner that makes you feel like you ordered takeout... except you did it in your own kitchen and the sauce is somehow even better. We're going for a glossy, coconut-rich curry with just enough heat to keep things interesting, tender strips […]

This tangy mustard and maple pork gravy is my favorite kind of breakfast chaos: savory pork, a little Dijon bite, and just enough maple to round everything out without turning it into dessert. It's a cozy, skillet-only pork gravy recipe that tastes like classic biscuits and gravy decided to put on a slightly nicer shirt. […]
