Market Vegetable Salad with Vegan Ranch Dressing

Posted on AuthorDawn Cassidy

This market vegetable salad with vegan ranch dressing is going to be in heavy rotation this summer!  It’s like a vegan farmer’s market version of a Cobb, where you have a little of this and a little of that, and you can tell with just a glance what is in the salad.  If you want to swap out an ingredient or two, don’t let me stop you.  Feel free to be inspired by what’s fresh at your local farmer’s market.  

This dressing, by the way, is off the charts.  So tangy and creamy – full of herby deliciousness – the perfect accompaniment for all of those veggies. read more

Slow Roasted Halibut with Chermoula

I honestly don’t know what to say about this slow roasted halibut with chermoula except that you have to try it.  This is getting a spot in the permanent rotation in our home.  Slow roasting is such a great way to cook fish because it’s almost impossible to mess up.  The slow part is relative, by the way.  This fish is perfectly cooked in about twenty-five minutes.  There’s no slaving over the stove.  Just throw it in the oven and let it do its thing.  You can’t even imagine how tender and delicious this fish is when it comes out.

I’m guessing a number of you are wondering, “What in the heck is chermoula?”   read more

Can I just be blunt for a moment?  There are days when life hands you a sh*t sandwich with a side of sinus infection.  I know you know those days.  And on those days, if you’re at my home, I will hand you a bowl of classic homemade chicken soup.  No bells or whistles.  No trying to reinvent the wheel.  Just the original real deal and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. 

It feels like so many of my friends are fighting off the cold/the stomach flu/the bubonic plague right now.  So if that’s you, I feel you, sister!  I’m right there with you.  Classics are classics for a reason and this is one of the best.  Warm comfort in a bowl.  Easy peasy.  Here you go. read more
