Deconstructed Sushi Salad

Sushi is quite possibly one of the greatest dishes in the world. Whether it's vegan or with seafood, sushi just tastes so good! However, it is very expensive, and not that filling.

Cast Iron Roasted Potatoes and Beets

Chipotle Paprika Roasted Parsnips

Parsnips...I had heard of them, but had never tried them. That is, until I saw some at my local market, and thought, "why not give this a try?" I had to research to see what exactly they were (other than a root vegetable) first. Are they like a potato? Like a carrot? Somewhere in between? … Continue reading Chipotle Paprika Roasted Parsnips

Cabbage and Leek Salad with Olives and Radish

Cabbage: not everyone's favorite, but so, so good for you. I have had my issues eating cabbage in my life, and I will tell you...it's not my favorite. It is, however, one of the great members of the cruciferous vegetable family. Cabbage contains a compound called sinigrin, which as been known to carry certain cancer preventive properties … Continue reading Cabbage and Leek Salad with Olives and Radish
