☀️ Happy Summer — let's eat!



Hi, Reader,

Happy summer! I don't know about you, but I'm ready for long evenings, farmers market hauls, and meals that don't require turning the oven on.

Here are a few of my favorite recipes to kick off the season:

🥗 Cucumber Edamame Salad with Ginger Lime Dressing — fresh, fast, and endlessly snackable

🥣 Cold Cucumber Soup — yes, cold soup is a thing, and yes it's delicious

🌽 Creamy Sweet Corn Pasta — sweet summer corn in a creamy, dreamy sauce that comes together in under 30 minutes

🍄 Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches — the ultimate summer cookout sandwich

And if you're new around here (or just want a tour of everything the site has to offer), I just put together a brand new Start Here page — it's the best place to find your footing and discover recipes you'll love.

Enjoy!

Collage of four vegan apple recipes.

Hi, Reader, One of my absolute favorite fall traditions is visiting the apple orchards near us here in the midwest. We come home with bags of fresh apples, a jug of cider, and absolutely zero regrets. Here's what to make with all of it: 🍩 Baked Apple Cider DonutsInspired by the warm, freshly made donuts we grab at the orchard every year — soft, fluffy, cinnamon-sugared, and ready in 20 minutes. 🥗 Kale Apple Salad with Warm Pumpkin VinaigretteHearty, crunchy, and drizzled with a warm pumpkin...

Hi, Reader, Fall coffee season is here and the Starbucks menu is calling. I hear you. Those drinks are delicious — but $7 a pop adds up fast. And heads up if you're vegan: the Pumpkin Spice syrup contains dairy, meaning even an oat milk swap won't make it vegan. The good news? You can make these fall flavors at home in about 5 minutes — completely dairy-free and incredibly delicious. Maybe even better. 😄 ☕ Harvest Oat Pumpkin Latte This is the cozy fall latte you've been waiting for. Made...

Hi, Reader, Can you feel it? That little hint of something in the air? The days are still warm, but there's a subtle shift happening — a crispness in the morning, a golden tint to the light, and suddenly all I want to do is reach for apples and butternut squash instead of corn and zucchini. We're in that sweet spot between summer and fall, and honestly? It's one of my favorite times of year to eat. These five salads were made for exactly this moment. Some are light and fresh to hold onto...
