This sweet potato salad is all kinds of delicious. The roasted sweet potatoes chick peas and raisins tossed in a deliciously sweet glaze is just perfection. You can have this hot or at room temp, the best thing is there is no mayo, so no worrying.

Stuffed Swiss Chard

M...eat...less

How about some curry quinoa, chickpeas and cranberries in your swiss chard? Sounds interesting, well it tastes pretty darn good too. As usual these recipe ideas hit me like a ton of brick and change over the course of the week depending on the ingredients available to me up until the time of cooking. This recipe is very hearty and filling, the chickpeas is almost like the meat component to the dish while the quinoa acts as rice. In essence this is a curry chicken and white rice wrapped in a swiss chard leaf…hardly! But you get my point.

Warm Kale and Pumpkin salad

"Pumpkin Everythang”

Pumpkin salad surprisingly has been my biggest challenge so far. In trying to conceptualize the dish I made a few decisions very early on...

•  I’ve never been a fan of warm salads, but this had to be one, because raw pumpkin es no bueno
• Texturally pumpkin gets mushy no matter how it’s cooked, so I needed a way to prepare it so it would maintain its shape for the most part.
• I didn’t want it boiled
• I didn’t want it roasted
• I didn’t want a pumpkin dressing
