When I start seeing fresh local corn at the farmers market, this pan-charred corn, orzo and arugula salad is the very first thing I make! It’s refreshing, satisfying, and has that sweet-savory craveability. The sweet is from the corn, which becomes sweeter from sautéing it until caramelized (browned). The savory is from everything else. The pepperiness from the greens and the citrus zing from the combination of lemon and lime juices make this extra mmm…emorable.

spring green flatbread with edamame pesto

This Earth Day-inspired recipe for spring green flatbread with edamame pesto is just as awesome as pizza. But, unlike traditional pizza, it’s 100% plant-based and full of spring (and green) delight. The flatbread is such a tasty way to get veggies (hello, asparagus!), too. And, of course, eating plant-based instead of animal-based is healthy for the planet while it can play a role in combating climate change.

My favorite answer to takeout is this general tso’s tofu with cauliflower recipe. It’s tastier and plant-friendlier than typical carry-out Chinese food. And while it’s definitely not as quick or simple, I promise that preparing it is completely worth the effort. Plus, you can prep much of it in advance.
