I feel like halloumi is having a moment. It seems to be one of those cheeses that is suddenly popping up everywhere I turn and to be honest, I’m wondering why it hasn’t picked up momentum sooner. It’s not like it’s a new food, but it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves. As a vegetarian,…
Spaghetti Squash al Pomodoro
While I’d never give up “real” pasta, I think spaghetti squash is my favorite of the veggie-noodle substitutes. While zucchini noodles are great and I’ve even given sweet potato noodles a try, they can’t beat spaghetti squash. If you’ve never given it a try, it’s an easy one to start with. You don’t need a…

This lemon kale salad has a simple, tangy dressing that pairs perfectly with creamy avocado and salty pine nuts!
