TASTE: A plant-eater's scrapbook

Last week was a busy one in my house, and this week is looking pretty similar. So I decided to share some of the food images that seem to collect on my phone. Maybe they'll inspire you to share some of your favorites, too!

If you've taken one of my yoga classes you know I love options. That's doubly true when it comes to food! This here dinner was quinoa and kale, next to red lentils, topped with green salsa and alongside some roasted cauliflower. So flavorful :)

Wildflour is an amazing vegan bakery I discovered several years ago in Pawtucket, RI. It's become a regular stop on my way to (and often also from) my parent's house in Connecticut, when I stock up on cold-pressed juices, fresh salads, and gluten-free treats. I enjoyed this Creamsicle smoothie and was tickled to discover I could make a pretty decent copycat at home with oranges, coconut milk, and lots of ice.

This is Wildflour's soba noodle salad. It's colorful, delicious, and fills me up for the afternoon when I'm at work. I feel like I could make something similar at home. That sauce though ...

On weekends, we often have dinner in with our neighbors at Ephraim Mountain Farm, when I get more than my fill of market-fresh veggies. This evening I enjoyed Esta's roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, carrots, tomatoes, and green beans. They're framed so nicely here on my favorite tablecloth of hers.

If you haven't discovered Trader Joe's Chopped Veggie Mix, get on that! It's the perfect base for so many things. For lunch at work this day I simply tossed it with Drew's Rosemary Balsamic dressing. Quick and easy. Taste the rainbow!
