meatless monday: baby bella and broccoli lo mein

This Asian-inspired stir-fried noodle dish is a delight! It has a nice balance of saltiness to sweetness ... the slight hint of sweetness coming naturally from coconut water. It's a tasty way to up your veggie quota for the day. It's a versatile recipe, too. You can swap in nearly any non-starchy vegetables.

vegan vanilla chia cupcakes

I just turned another year older, so I baked cupcakes to celebrate. Birthdays do only come once a year, after all! However, to make sure the desserty treats were at least a tiny bit better for everyone to enjoy, this cupcake recipe uses whole-wheat pastry flour and chia seeds.

meatless monday: mexican breakfast scramble

I make many variations of this breakfast scramble. It's my go-to recipe idea when in the mood for an egg entrée with plenty of intrigue. This Huevos rancheros-inspired version highlights Udi's Ancient Grain Crisps. Ancient grains, such as millet and amaranth, have withstood the test of time since they haven't changed for ages, literally.

chocolate zucchini bread with pistachios

I don’t do much baking in the summertime. But there’s always one thing that finds its way into my oven in July; that’s zucchini bread. This season I changed up tradition to create a chocolaty concoction. The result: it’s a keeper! - See more at: http://jackienewgent.com/recipe-blog/#sthash.j53mSt9S.dpuf

roasted vegetable hummus

I'm a big advocate of food never going to waste! So whenever I have extra vegetables getting lonely in the fridge, I often sauté them and toss with pasta, scrambled with eggs, or stuff into a burrito. Sometimes I create new flavors of hummus with them, too.
