Walnut Taco "Meat"

Walnut Taco "Meat"

I know what you’re thinking- walnut "meat" sounds kinda crazy. Don’t be fooled though! This recipe is perfect for making beef-less tacos. After soaking your walnuts for 2-4 hrs in warm water, the walnuts soften to create a perfect meat-like texture. Throw them in a food processor with plenty of taco seasonings, pulse for a few seconds, and viola! You’ve got the perfect filling for your Taco Tuesday dinner!

Falafel Burger

Falafel Burger

This falafel burger is such a fun twist on your staple veggie burger. These burgers are loaded with flavor. They’re packed with fresh herbs and spices like parsley, cilantro, cumin and coriander! I served these fun burgers on a pink beet bun with lettuce, tomato, onion and a tahini-based dressing.

Sesame Ginger Dumplings

Sesame Ginger Dumplings

These sesame ginger dumplings are the definition of comfort food. These dumplings get their soft centers from shredded carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu. In this recipe, I prefer to use Nasoya’s Sesame Ginger TofuBaked. I’ve found that I get a much more consistent texture than when I press and bake my own tofu (something I’ve been working on perfecting).

Fall Harvest Salad

Fall Harvest Salad

This hearty fall salad combines some of my favorite cool-weather flavors. The sweet potatoes are tossed in chili powder and cinnamon giving this salad a warm kick while the pear adds a cool, crisp crunch. It has so much flavor that it is paired best with a light balsamic or vinaigrette dressing.
