Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

This tortilla soup recipe has a rich, fragrant broth filled with corn and black beans. We love it with crispy tortilla strips and avocado on top!

Tortilla soup is one of my favorite foods. Not just one of my favorite soups (though of course it is), but one of my favorite foods in general. I love how the rich, flavorful broth contrasts with toppings like crunchy tortilla strips and creamy avocado. Now that the temperatures are cooling off for the season, you can bet that I’ll have this tortilla soup recipe on repeat. Tortilla soup (or sopa de tortilla or sopa Azteca) is thought to have originated in central Mexico, though you can find regional variations throughout Mexico and the US today. I can’t claim that…

fall

Let’s make apple crisp! I love this classic fall dessert because it’s easy, delicious, and full of the flavors of the season. Cinnamon, apples, and brown sugar? Yes, please! I’m sharing my favorite apple crisp recipe below. It features juicy, cinnamon-spiced apples with a buttery brown sugar and oat topping. It’s rich and comforting, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. 🙂 I’ve shared apple crisp and crumble recipes in the past, but never one as simple or as classic as this. What sets it apart from my other recipes is that you don’t have to pre-cook the apples,…

Homemade Applesauce

Learn how to make homemade applesauce with this easy recipe! Spiced with cinnamon, it's a delicious healthy snack or topping for pancakes and more.

fall

This homemade applesauce recipe is a staple in our house year-round, but especially during apple season. It’s an easy way to use up a surplus of too-soft or overripe apples, and as it cooks, it fills your house with the aroma of fresh apples and cinnamon. That smell is SO cozy on a crisp fall day. On its own, it’d be enough to make anyone a homemade applesauce convert. But this homemade applesauce recipe gets better. It doesn’t just smell good—it tastes good too! It’s tangy, lightly sweet, and full of spiced apple flavor. You can make it chunky if…

My best chocolate chip cookie recipe! It's easy to make with simple ingredients, and the cookies come out soft, chewy, and delicious every time.

Meet my best chocolate chip cookie recipe! These cookies are everything that I think chocolate chip cookies should be. They have a perfect soft and chewy texture. They’re PACKED with melty, gooey chocolate chips. And they’re easy to make with basic ingredients and equipment. No stand mixer required! In all my years of blogging and writing cookbooks, I’ve shared nearly 50 cookie recipes. But I recently realized that none of them has been for classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. I’m FINALLY changing that today, because everyone needs a good chocolate chip cookie recipe in their back pocket. If you don’t have…

Corn Chowder

Savor the taste of summer sweet corn in this easy corn chowder recipe! Packed with fresh corn and potatoes, it's creamy, comforting, and delicious.

summer / soups

It’s the perfect time of year to make corn chowder. Summer veggies like sweet corn and peppers still abound at the farmers market and grocery store, but as the sun sets earlier and the temperatures cool, a comforting bowl of soup can really hit the spot. This corn chowder recipe is everything I’m craving right now. A meal in a bowl, it’s filled with chunky potatoes, corn kernels, red peppers, and a lightly creamy broth that’s bursting with sweet corn flavor. To balance the sweetness, I throw in savory celery and a dash of Old Bay Seasoning, smoked paprika, and…

snacks / vegan / gluten free

Is there anything better than creamy, nutty, velvety homemade hummus? I don’t think so, which is why I make this hummus recipe nearly every week. I’ve shared many hummus variations over the years (including 4 in my first cookbook!), but this recipe is the one I make most often. It’s a classic version of the Middle Eastern chickpea dip, with garbanzo beans and tahini as the key ingredients. The recipe is super simple to make. With just 5 minutes of prep, 7 basic ingredients transform into delicious homemade hummus. It’s lusciously smooth, with a bright lemon flavor and a little…

Cauliflower Salad

This cauliflower salad is a picnic-perfect side dish! It's bright and delicious, featuring a creamy dressing, fresh herbs, and crunchy raw cauliflower.

I’ve shared a roasted cauliflower salad (ok, 5) on the blog before, but this RAW cauliflower salad is the first of its kind. I’m already wondering what took me so long, and once you try it, I think you will be too! This cauliflower salad recipe is bright and delicious. I like to think of it as a fun, fresh twist on classic potato salad. Like potato salad, it has a creamy, mustardy dressing, hard-boiled eggs, and savory herbs, but cauliflower replaces the potatoes. Pickled red onions and capers add an extra briny punch. This cauliflower salad recipe packs up…

Zucchini Soup

Fresh herbs, ginger, and lime fill this creamy zucchini soup with bright, refreshing flavor. It's a delicious, healthy meal that's ready in 30 minutes!

This zucchini soup is creamy and comforting, but still bright and fresh. Blended zucchini and coconut milk create its luxe, silky base, while ginger, herbs, and lime fill it with bold, refreshing flavor. I also toss in a serrano chile for heat, though if you’re sensitive to spice, you could skip it. This zucchini soup recipe is perfect for late summer and early fall. As the temps cool off from their summer peaks, I start craving warmer, heartier fare. At the same time, I want to keep cooking with fresh garden zucchini while it’s abundant (I’m not ready for all things pumpkin…
