Salt and Vinegar French Fries

Salt and Vinegar French Fries

Chrissy Teigan consistently comes through with delicious recipes that are easy to pull off and leave you thinking: of course! Why am I just learning about this now?! Case and point: salt and vinegar french fries. They have the taste of salt and vinegar chips 

Falafel

Chickpeas are an amazingly versatile legume. Yet I feel like they go relatively unappreciated on this side of the ‘pond’. How does the same bean produce creamy hummus, add crispy morsels to an otherwise bland salad, provide sustenance to a bowl of chili, and fry 

Kale, Almond, and Dried Cherry Slaw

Kale, Almond, and Dried Cherry Slaw

I have became slightly obsessed with kale. And for those of you who do not know me, I am not the granola, hippie type. Although I do make my own granola and believe that Birkenstocks are the most comfortable summer footwear….perhaps I’m in denial? Perhaps
