Nothing makes me happier than a big burrito bowl, loaded up with fresh and colorful goodness. This one hit all the right notes with spicy beans, sweet tropical fruit, succulent grilled peppers, and delightfully crunchy and salty tortilla chips. Remember that I now have an entire guide to burrito bowls on my blog! Just head to the link in my bio and search “burrito bowl”. The guide has loads of tips, examples, and links to my favorite recipes. To get those burrito bowl ideas flowing, here’s what’s in this beauty: 🌶Mixed white and red quinoa, cooked then tossed with lime juice, coconut milk, and salt 🌶Black bean mango salad (similar to the “No-Cook Rainbow Black Bean Salad” on my blog, but without the other veggies) 🌶Grilled baby bell peppers 🌶Romaine salad with red kiwi 🌶Blue and yellow tortilla chips #theroguebrusselsprout #burritobowl #plantprotein #plantbasedprotein #veganbowl #buddhabowl #nourishbowl #powerbowl #veganbowlsforvegansouls #veganbowls #choosehealthy #meatlessmonday #healthyeats #nytcooking #saveurmag #eatmoreveggies #instayummy #healthyfoodie #tastespotter #foodmatters #vegannoms #eattherainbow #eatwellbewell #feedyoursoul #letscookvegan #realfood #eatclean #veganshare #healthyrecipes #vegansofinstagram 
As we get deeper into spring and closer to Cinco de Mayo, I’m excited to add this Blackberry Coconut Margarita to your arsenal of warm-weather drinks. Muddled blackberries add sweetness and delightful color, while coconut rum adds a bit of tropical flare. It’s a magical combination that has made this cocktail a go-to on our deck for years. You can get all the details on the blog (link in bio). But in short, this summery pink stunner is: 🥥Small handful of blackberries 🥥3 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice 🥥2 oz blanco tequila 🥥1 oz coconut rum (my absolute greatest love is the coconut rum from @koloarum) Here’s how to do it: 🥥Muddle the berries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker 🥥Add the other ingredients 🥥Shake well, then strain into a glass with ice 🥥Garnish with a few fresh blackberries (Shown in the background: some of my plant babies. I have uncountable numbers of cacti, succulents, and air plants.

Who’s thinking about the weekend already? Whether you’re doing date night for two or a get-together on the deck, this Quadruple Onion Dip is a clear winner. It uses onions in four ways, none of which are raw, for a dip that is savory, a tad sweet, salty, and absurdly addictive. Plus it’s vegan and loaded with protein! Just blend together in a food processor: ☀️One 15-oz can of chick peas, drained and rinsed ☀️A small Vidalia or other sweet onion that has been diced and caramelized in a well-oiled skillet ☀️Big dollop of unsweetened, unflavored, thick yogurt of choice (vegan if desired) ☀️Generous few pinches of salt ☀️Dash of olive oil as needed to bring it together Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and then garnish with: ☀️A drizzle of olive oil ☀️Quick-pickled red onions ☀️Big handful of Maui Onion & Garlic macadamia nuts from @maunaloamacnut ☀️Generous sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning (In case you need a recap, the four onion elements are caramelized sweet onion, pickled red onion, onion macadamias, and onion in the bagel seasoning) #theroguebrusselsprout #plantprotein #plantbasedprotein #hawaiifood #hawaiifoodie #healthycomfortfood #healthysnacks #foodblogger #thebiteshot #fitfluential #bonappetite #seriouseats #colorfulfood #eathealthy #f52grams #foodandwine #feastagram #huffposttaste #foodgawker #foodstylist #foodismedicine #iamwellandgood #foodphotography #foodblogfeed #foodblogeats #eatingwell #eatyourveggies #balancedmeals #veganfood #nourishingfood 
Perfectly caramelized brussel sprouts get bathed in a sweet and salty orange ginger sesame sauce, then topped with crunchy sesame seeds and fresh kumquats. This is the dish to cure all brussel sprout skeptics. Let’s talk technique. Brussel sprouts sometimes get a bad reputation, and it’s 100% due to poor cooking technique. They can easily become mushy and sulfury if you boil them (please never do this!!). Likewise, they can get dry if you don’t give them the proper love. This is all very sad! Here’s how to treat them with the respect they deserve, to create brussel sprouts that are caramelized, tender, juicy, and full of flavor: 1.) Cut them in half and sear them, cut-side down, in an generously oiled skillet until golden brown. 2.) Decrease the heat, add a generous pour of any watery sauce (e.g. the orange sesame ginger sauce detailed in my blog post noted below), and PUT A LID ON THE SKILLET! 3.) Let the sprouts gently steam in their flavorful hot tub for just a few minutes. 4.) Remove the lid, increase the heat, and reduce the sauce until there is almost no liquid left. Hint: this will work best if there are some sugars in your sauce to help it thicken. There you have it! My greatest secret revealed! With this method, you don’t have to choose between caramelized and juicy sprouts- you get both!! Please give it a try and share your photos, I’d love to see what you create.

Does spring’s confusing weather have you caught between fresh and comforting food? If so, this Greek Salad Stuffed Spaghetti Squash is the solution! A very summery and colorful Greek salad gets stuffed into a cozy roasted spaghetti squash; it’s the best of both worlds! The key to making this work? Use kale instead of lettuce as the base of your salad. It can stand up to the heat radiating out of the squash without getting wilty.
