seasonal cherry tomato hummus bowl

by Jackie Newgent | September 22, 2019 | 1 Comment

I’ve been busy, busy, busy lately. I’m sure you can relate. I know for some folks that might mean getting take-out. For me, it means lots of hummus bowls. Basically, that’s hummus topped with whatever you have on hand that you think might taste good with hummus! I always call this concept a “bowl,” but I’ll serve it on a plate if I don’t have that much to top it with. This seasonal cherry tomato hummus bowl is one of those such “bowls” … and a super easy one at that.

grilled sweet potato & herb salad

This grilled sweet potato and herb salad wasn’t the original plan. It’s better! I was originally going to make a creamy potato salad. But then I realized I had a sweet potato on hand. And since the potato salad was just going to be for me, I opted for a sweet potato salad instead. It gave me an opportunity to enjoy a portion of an avocado I needed to use up soon, too. So, here’s the yum-worthy result!

figgy flatbread pizza

When fresh figs are in season, it seems like I put them in practically everything I prepare. I simply adore them! And I was lucky enough to attend the California Figs new cookbook launch event in New York, and came home with a stash of the luxurious fruits. So, of course, I went immediately into my kitchen to whip up some fig-filled delights. This 100% plant-based (Meatless Monday-friendly!) flatbread pizza is the first creation from the stash. Combining two of my favorite things—pizza and figs—is downright dreamy to me. Plus, the use of creamy cashew cheese and a finish of a spicy coconut nectar and fresh basil make it magical. Hope you agree!

anytime arugula and grilled grape salad

One of my favorite anytime salads is this … baby arugula and pan-grilled grape salad with cashew cheese balls, toasted sliced almonds, and lemony-pepper grilled grape vinaigrette. Not only does it have one of the longest salad names ever, it’s seriously one of the tastiest ever. Luckily, so it won’t be so difficult to remember the name of this, I gave it a shortened-up nickname: “anytime arugula and grilled grape salad!” That better?!

pasta salad with basil-coated cashew cheese balls

by Jackie Newgent | July 3, 2019 | 0 Comments

In the summertime, I thoroughly enjoy a fresh and flavorful Italian-style pasta salad. I often eat it as an entrée rather than a side salad at lunchtime. And I don’t just enjoy eating pasta salad … I love making it. It provides an avenue in which to use leftover grilled, roasted, or raw veggie scraps—and the result is always slightly different to keep me (and everyone else) intrigued.
