Healthy Maple, Chia and Flax Oatmeal

This oatmeal, in particular, is the one I make time and time again. The recipe starts with a basic stovetop or microwave oatmeal. Then, you add some nuts and seeds to make it nutritious, maple syrup to boost the flavor, and milk to give it the perfect creamy texture. This oatmeal is great for a quick breakfast or even an easy and cozy lunch or dinner!

Kombucha Pancakes

Last year on the blog, I featured Jerrelle Guy's kombucha muffin recipe (from her cookbook Black Girl Baking). It is one of my favorite recipes from her book, and you all seem to love it just as much as I do. In this recipe, I've transformed those muffins into pancakes! I referenced Jerrelle's recipe and my Blueberry Buckwheat Pancake recipe to get the best of both worlds.

It makes the most of strawberry season and satisfies my ultra-creamy ice cream dreams.

Loose Leaf Peppermint Tea

Mint plants are known for being super prolific and spreading like crazy, so your mint plant probably won’t mind a haircut. This recipe requires four cups of mint leaves, but it dehydrates down to 8 cups of tea. Feel free to cut or multiply this recipe to best suit your mint collection.

Chickpea, Beet and Veggie Sandwich

n this recipe, I incorporated my love for shaved vegetables with my love for simply roasted chickpeas. Every time I tested this sandwich, I ate about a handful of chickpeas before they made it into the sandwich. They're salty, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and just plain irresistible. The combination of chickpeas, beet spread and shaved veg makes this sandwich one for the record books.

Lavender, Orange and Honey Shortbread Cookies

A few weeks ago in my Pinterest feed, I saw some gorgeous shortbread cookies decorated with all kinds of edible flowers. They were colorful, perfectly round and had a sparkly sugar topping. I was smitten, so I decided to recreate them.

Cheesy Kimchi Toast

This recipe came to me when I was trying to spice up a traditional grilled cheese. Tomatoes are normally my go-to, but when they're not in season I'm left with nothing. So, I turned to an unsuspecting jar of kimchi in my fridge.

Rhubarb Juice

Usually, I use my rhubarb to make impressive, ingredient-heavy and time-consuming recipes like pie. But this year, I wanted to create a simpler, more chill rhubarb recipe. I loved the idea of incorporating rhubarb's sweet-tart nature into a drink, similar to lemonade, so I started searching for recipes.

Vegan Spring Nachos

A vegan “cheese'' sauce is the perfect pairing for the spring veggies. After browsing what felt like a million vegan cheese sauce recipes, I decided to use Broma Bakery's Best Vegan Cashew Queso. I've always been skeptical about vegan cheese, but this recipe is creamy, flavorful perfection.

Jam-Filled Hokkaido Milk Rolls

In this recipe, I adapted Bread Illustrated's Japanese Milk Bread loaf recipe into a roll recipe and added a swirl of jam in the middle. The result is a fluffy, lightly sweet roll with a flavorful jam filling. You could make an icing to match these rolls, but I think they are plenty sweet without frosting.

Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Galette

This galette is a riff on one of my favorite recipes ever, my Spring Vegetable, Harissa and Mascarpone Galette. I love galettes because they are pretty easy to make, but look and taste super impressive. They also require very few ingredients and are really versatile — perfect for slow weekends, dinner parties and pandemics.

Build Your Own Granola

I've used this formula to bake a few granolas in the past and thought now was the perfect time to publish it. The best part about this recipe is its flexibility. Don't have nuts? No problem. Fresh out of olive oil? Don't worry. All you need are oats and a few other odds and ends to make this granola delicious.

Crunchy Spelt and Buckwheat Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Sugary, over-soft chocolate chip cookie recipes are all over the place and tbh, they're not that tasty. Instead of making typical chocolate chip cookies, I wanted to make something crunchier, more flavorful and more substantial. So, I turned to spelt flour and buckwheat groats.
