In honor of this winter weather coming in full blast we’re making one of my favorite soups of all time. Chicken-Dumpling or Chickpea-Dumpling (vegan) is a great way to use what you have in your fridge and make something that comforts, nourishes, and satisfies. Feel free to get creative with this one and change around ratios or ingredients if need be. The special ingredients in … Continue reading Infused Chicken & Dumpling Soup

These delicious umami bombs are easily my favorite way to prepare eggs! Known as Ajitsuke Tamago or Ajitama in Japanese, Ramen Eggs have silky, custardy yolks and are packed with flavor. The “miso egg” used to be a staple menu item at our go-to local Japanese restaurant so when they closed a few months ago I was heartbroken. Thankfully my hens just started dropping fresh … Continue reading Mary Jane Miso Ramen Egg
A simple and comforting meal. You can switch out the veg depending on the season and whats in the fridge! This applies some simple but important techniques that can be used for many different meals. Although we are using a lot of canna-oil for this recipe, we are only applying it to the pan which means a lot will be cooked off and only a … Continue reading Quinoa, Kale, and Mushroom Salad
Beef Bourguignon is a classic french stew combining red wine and beef. This is one of my absolute favorite comfort foods in the winter when I’m feeling a cozy night in. The beef can be swapped out with tempeh or seitan to make it vegan and/or served with mashed potatoes on the side. The process can all be done in one pot and is very … Continue reading RSO Beef Bourguignon
Don’t get me wrong, nothing can beat a high-quality, juicy steak. However, if you’re craving the same comforts without overindulging in red meat, this dish is perfect.

Strain Pairing: Colder weather always … Continue reading Cauliflower Steak w/ Celery Root Puree and Couscous

This is certainly NOT like your canned thanksgiving cranberry sauce. The … Continue reading Canna-Berry Pork Chops
This hardy meal is an autumn favorite of mine while the bright, warm beauty of summer starts to fade into a cooler fall chill. Traditional meatballs should be cooked in the sauce, but sadly I haven’t found a way to do this without them completely falling apart. However, this dish has enough flavor and natural moisture to not leave you wanting. You can always add your … Continue reading Spaghetti Squash w/ Beet-Balls
Strain Pairing– Well, like the name suggests I recommend a strain on theme with this delicious and comforting soup! Purple strains like Purple Haze or Purple Kush are known for their beautiful purple hues and potent body high. Purple strains are usually associated with Indica strains because they grow/are produced in colder temperatures, much like the vegetables were using in this recipe. However, selective breeding … Continue reading Purple Haze Potato Soup w/ Fennel and Parsnip
This is a take on an incredibly rich and comforting West African stew. Traditionally made with chicken, you can also swap it out with a crumbled tempeh to make this dish completely vegan. The combination of sweet and spicy awakens your taste buds and spirit while the peanut butter helps smooth it all out and provides the ultimate comfort. Since this dish requires an infused … Continue reading Peanut Stew w/ Chicken or Tempeh (v)
