Lauren’s Kitchen: Roasted or Grilled Veggies with Romesco
I love the simplicity of washing and chopping a selection of seasonal vegetables, tossing them with coconut or olive oil, a dash of Himalayan sea salt and letting them roast away or cook on the grill. It’s Plant Based Eating at its best in my opinion. Our favorites for roasting include cauliflower, sweet potatoes, green…
Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: Chef Kelly’s Jicama Slaw
Oh yeah…. if this doesn’t say “refresh,” I don’t know what does. Just look at all those crisp, crunchy, hydrating ingredients! I think this recipe just earned a weekly appearance on the Hubele dinner table. The star ingredient, jicama, is certainly one you will want to be including in your raw salads this summer. Despite…
Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: My Favorite Dairy Free Hacks
Summer is probably the easiest time to ditch dairy as the appeal for “creamy and rich” certainly lessens when the temps and humidity creep up. Having said that, I fully believe this is not an either or proposition. You can have creamy and rich AND be dairy free, it will just come from plant based sources. While switching what…

Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: Cocagne Bean and Artichoke Salad
I seem to be drawn to cooked veggie salads lately and why not? I believe these hearty salads are perfect during our wonderful warm days and cool evenings. The native Californian in me absolutely could not resist Heidi Swanson’s gorgeous Cocagne Bean and Artichoke Salad. Growing up we didn’t do a lot of gourmet eating, to…

Ok I admit I have a salad thing going but seriously with these sultry spring days I don’t think anything sounds better in the evening than a bowlful of spring veggies tossed in the perfect vinaigrette. Enter Green Valley Kitchen’s Potato Salad with Grean Beans and Asparagus – a heavenly match. So heavenly that I’ve made it…
Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: Spring Gratitude Bowls
The name alone of this gorgeous recipe would win it a feature spot on my blog but now that I’ve made this for dinner it also wins for taste! Filled with all the yummy flavors of spring and given some plant based protein heft with the inclusion of millet and lentils, these gratitude bowls are as delicious…
Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: Delicious Dressings
We are BIG salad eaters at our house. It’s a rare occasion when our first course is not a heaping dinner plate full of local greens and veggies tossed with a home blended dressing. When we have guests it is always the salad dressing that they want to know more about. I have to admit…
Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: A St. Patrick’s Day Green Smoothie
You may have other plans for your St. Patrick’s Day evening consumption but make some room for this green smoothie in your mid morning and morning after for sure. While I recommend starting each day with a purely fruit smoothie or juice on an empty stomach the addition of a green smoothie mid-morning or mid-afternoon is the…

Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: Soup Not Salad
My plan today was to be posting a series of my favorite salad dressings that I make in batches but look at this weather! While I hope you are eating plenty of salad it’s still clearly soup season and thankfully Jessica Nadel, author of Greens 24/7, offers up this great way to get your daily…
Read MoreLauren’s Kitchen: Red Lentil Soup with Spinach
We are in that changeable weather season that calls out for having some fresh comfort food recipes on hand. One minute it’s glorious spring-like and then arrives a day or two of dreary cold (Austin-cold, mind you). Nothing beats the gray wet weather in my house like a steaming bowl of soup. Having a bag…
