Top 10 Recipes of 2015

Spaghetti Squash with Chickpeas & Kale / gluten free, vegan-option

Happy new year! I hope you’re all having a lovely holiday weekend.

I have some exciting things planned for 2016 (like our book! more on that soon). But first, I thought it would be fun to share what all of your favorite recipes were over the past year. These 10 recipes topped the analytics, but also ranked high in “I made this and loved it!” comments that were either made here on the blog, in social media, or told to me in person. And always – let me know if there’s anything you would especially like to see in 2016!

#1: Spaghetti Squash with Kale & Chickpeas (pictured above)
Even though spaghetti squash is decidedly not spaghetti, this is a delicious go-to winter recipe, especially if you’re trying to eat a little lighter in the new year.

    Would love more tofu recipes, but then, I can eat it right out of the package.
