Summer Margaritas with Royal Rose Simple Syrup
A friend made these margaritas at a recent girls night and they were the perfect kick off to a night of cooking and carbs. Her recipe is below and the great news is, you can't go wrong with this list of ingredients. The Royal Rose syrups balance with the sharp citrus and soften the tequila. Give them a try! They won't disappoint.
Chargrilled Summer Vegetables with a Dhana-Jeera Dressing
Every year, as soon as it is warm enough outside, we fire up the grill. I love grilled veggies and was so excited to find a great base recipe in Meera Sodha's cookbook East: 120 Vegan and Vegetarian Recipes from Bangalore to Beijing. We used SKORDO's Thai Seasoning to spice up our dressing without a lot of additional heat for the perfect balance.
Couscous, Cherry Tomato, + Herb Salad with Ras el Hanout
We spent three weeks cooking dinner nearly every evening from the cookbook Ottolenghi Simple... read our cookbook review here. Here's one of our favorite recipes we made. A delicious way to incorporate the iconic Middle Eastern blend, Ras el Hanout, into fresh flavors. We look forward to making this for many cookouts this summer!
Roasted Eggplant with Curried Yogurt
We spent three weeks cooking dinner nearly every evening from the cookbook Ottolenghi Simple... read our cookbook review here. This was such a delicious bite! Roasted slices of eggplant with layers of flavor and texture on top. We paired it with another recipe from the book, an herbed cauliflower salad. Fresh, flavorful, and filling.
Baked Feta with Oregano, Thyme, + Rosemary
This is a delicious recipe combining the briny, salty flavors of feta with mediterranean herbs and, in our case, sun-dried tomatoes and mixed Greek olives. If you don't like olives or sun-dried tomatoes, try roasting with tomatoes instead. Delicious!
Mediterranean Inspired Grain Bowl
Grain bowls are the most fulfilling, meal prep friendly, satisfying meals. I don’t love reheated food so I usually avoid meal prepping, but in this case I keep all of the condiments on hand, precook the grains, and roast the veggies, then I can just assemble quickly whenever hunger strikes. I’ve acquired quite the collection of SKORDO products and was able to piece together blends that compliment each other and use a variety here to keep all of the components exciting.

Berry Hibiscus Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie Bowls are beautiful and leave so much space for fun ingredients, to blend in but also as crunchy toppings. This hibiscus petals, ceylon cinnamon, and kava infused breakfast is packed with fresh fruit, antioxidants, and a splash of stress relief (that's the kava!)
Turmeric Coconut Smoothie Bowl
Sometimes what we choose for breakfast can help wake us up and feel energized as we start our day. We created this fun and beautiful smoothie bowl to both energize and brighten your morning. This turmeric, ground ginger, and coconut infused breakfast is just what you need to wake up and hit the ground running!
Advieh Spiced Chocolate Sauce
Healthy sweets sound like a trick, but this recipe from the team at S+P Plant Based Foods is our kind of bamboozle. This decadent chocolate sauce is the pantry staple we all deserve!
Vegan Malai Kofta
This recipe is from Shelby Faux and Payson Cunningham, the talented plant based cooks at S+P Plant Based Foods in Portland, Maine. The bright colors and bold flavors in this dish are sure to brighten any day!
Poached Pear Galette with Posy Salted Crust
Posy salt, we’ve been waiting for you! My initial thoughts for this blend were all cocktails and grilled savory snacks; but I wanted to explore the sweet possibilities to show how versatile this can be! Chocolate seemed like the simple route and with Sister Pie as our Cookbook of the Month-- a galette seemed like the right choice! This recipe has more steps than the ones I usually share but please trust the process as it all flows nicely.
