Lactose-free baking and cooking for foodies
Doesn’t that look amazing? Oh it is. I made this early last week and enjoyed the most filling and delicious breakfasts ever for the entire week. I also used this hash to top plain lettuce and turn it into an amazing salad and to accompany a mid week steak craving as an absolutely killer side. Next I want to whip this up again and pair it with a delicate baked fish and some sort of creamy sauce – darn that sounds good!

It is a cold hard fact that Bolognese is the most deliciously complex and satisfyingly savory sauce in the world. That being said- it normally takes 4-6 hours to make, and while completely worth it, I just don’t have that kind of time! Good thing that after some finicking around with this recipe- I found a way to make a ‘short cut’ sauce that combines the best of the flavor building steps of bolognese with a time saving store-bought add on that cuts out 4 hours at the end.
What’s more – it’s vegan! (If you please)
The results will blow your mind- comment if you can tell a difference, but no one has been able to thus far! I literally eat this stuff straight out of the jar!

Falafel is wonderful. There are a million things you can do with it and for some reason I don’t think it’s physically possible for me to ever get tired of it. I make these Sunday and enjoy an entire week of awesome.
Serve these little babies with salad, hummus, as a sandwich with cucumber, hummus, and tomato, or as a falafel burger!

I have finally found a tie for my favorite dressing in the world, and the best part is that it has gone absolutely perfectly with every one of my latest food obsessions: these tomatoes, these roasted chickpeas, and these falafel!
While the salad may be mine- this dressing was brought to me courtesy of Caroline at The Broccoli Hut. I always love her stuff, but this is the first recipe I may actually memorize- from any blog, almost including my own! I love how easy it is and have started whipping up larger batches in my baby-sized-blender to add to everything from sandwiches to steak.

Every time I head to TJ’s or Whole Foods now I grab a can (or 3) of garbanzo beans so that I can make a huge batch of these and toss them in nearly everything. I have loved these on salads, in place of croutons as a garnish on a creamy soup, or just as a tasty snack all by themselves. And since milage has gotten up there with short runs at 7 or 8 miles and this week’s long run hitting 14… fiber is always a good thing because I am constantly starving!
I love making mine a bit spicy- as you will see in the recipe- but you could really do anything you want with these as far as flavorings go. I have been wanting to try them with a sweet twist by adding cinnamon sugar or maple syrup – so if you are feeling adventurous and try it, let me know how it goes!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
To celebrate we made these super easy and yummy oven toasted tortilla chips- made from a super easy recipe for spicy homemade chili soft flour tortillas- and noshed on them with salsa while we put together our actual meal 
The soft tortillas will become a fast and easy new favorite in your abode. They are guaranteed to amp up any dish you use them for, all week long. (Like the killer taco bar that we put together for a little festive lunch today.)

Nothing says ‘it’s spring’ like a nice cool cocktail and fresh fruit- and nothing makes either of these more delicious than a perfectly sweet simple syrup.
While you can add whatever you want to a syrup to make it, well, less simple, I nearly always go for a mix of ginger, mint, and something else I have around the kitchen. The ginger is the perfect zest, the mint cools off whatever you are adding this to- necessary as the temperatures rise, and then you can accent with whatever you are feeling that day. We were feeling like amping up the zest- so we added orange.

Ready for the easiest and most delicious pasta you will ever make? These tomatoes, olive oil, rosemary, and capers. Bam. Dinner or lunch that will knock your socks off!
Little upgrades like roasting the tomatoes instead of sautéing them, and frying the capers and the rosemary to bring out the salty and herby flavors take this dish to a whole other level! Add in any herbs you like, but I LOVE rosemary.

What to do when you have leftover wine? Well, first of all evaluate why you have leftover wine… but also- make jam! This stuff goes great on pancakes the morning after a big night out
The best part is that you can sub in whatever wine you have leftover- from a sweet champagne or moscato to a deeper red.
