Fajita bowls not for the faint of heart. Honestly, these bowls could probably serve 3-4, but they were created with hungry people in mind. There are a decent amount of components to this dish to maximize flavor and nutrients, but it’s still completely manageable. I recommend cooking the rice, chicken, beans, and fajita mix a few days before. you…

This Mediterranean yogurt dip has it all. It’s tasty, full of flavor, and packed with nutrients. It’s perfect for a vegetarian dinner (Jackson and I destroyed the entire dip after a lengthy fartleck run the other day), a snack, or even to take to a party. It will keep a few days, but it’s best within the first…

Cherry coconut rice

When I was younger, one of my favorite foods was rice with butter. I’ve come to expect a little more from my rice, and this dish delivers. Coconut rice mixed with celery, seared pineapple, toasted almonds, and cherries. It’s so tasty and totally vegan! Feel free to add chicken, fish, or even a fried egg to make it…

These days, meal prep isn’t just something put-together moms do. All us young people are into it. You’ve seen it all over Instagram: Those neat rows of perfectly-portioned proteins and vegetables.

Haystack onion quinoa bowl

We hungry people love our bowls of food. Grain bowls, for instance. In recent years, grain bowls have become the favorite lunch of white people with disposable incomes. Belonging to the first half of that demographic, I also enjoy bowls of grain but do not enjoy the arm and leg required to pay for said bowl of grain. So…

The vegetarian’s breakfast burrito

You know how there are races that somehow involve eating? I am certain such a thing as doughnut racing exists. Along the same lines, I have witnessed both beer and chocolate milk miles (not pretty sights). Not that the world needs more food/racing combos, but a burrito race would be a logical addition. Burritos are so convenient and…
