I love a good dinner salad, especially in the summer. This recipe does require some more cooking than your typical salad, but it’s worth it. I personally cook some tortilla strips from scratch (which is super easy to do), though you can certainly use any tortilla chip you like. And the ground turkey, browned with taco seasoning and the black beans, only takes a few minutes to cook. This taco salad features layers of cool, crunchy iceberg lettuce (which I personally love and think it often gets a bad rap), tomato, cheese, cilantro and onion, and the crunchy tortilla strips and warm, savory turkey and beans, all drizzled with the creamy tangy dressing....

This year’s truffles are a tiny bit vain, to be honest....

Hello from the land of the living. It has taken me almost a week to recover from a nasty cold, but I am finally out of bed and so happy to be out! I am not feeling well enough to resume running yet – in fact, running with a scratchy throat is what precipitated my illness, I am pretty sure. As soon as I returned home from my run, I was horrified to see my eyes shine like two high voltage bulbs back at me in the mirror…So I am sitting tight until I feel 100% well....

The secret to the creamy texture has a lot to do with the starches from the pasta in the sauce. I’ve been on a pasta kick lately. I’m missing Italian food down here in Texas after living in the Boston area for a long time, so I’m grabbing the bull by the horns and forging ahead with making Italian food myself.

Even before I went vegan, falafels (the ultimate vegan snack) were one of my favourite things to eat.

These chicken breasts are great on their own for dinner, but I like using these in a more utilitarian way throughout the week. Having cooked chicken around is one of the best ways to meal prep.
