Simply Delicious Warm Kale Salad
This is one of my fast and easy go-to recipes. I can run home in between classes and make is for lunch with no time-crunch. It’s a salad that doesn’t feel like you’re eating a “salad”.

Swiss Chard Wrapped Pesto Eggplant with Polenta...
This recipe was inspired by a dish I had at Portabello Vegan Trattoria, my absolute favorite restaurant. In the vegan mecca that is Portland, this is one of the most upscale and delicious vegan restaurants of them all. You have to make reservations about a week in advance, unless you want to wait about 2 hours for a table. Their menu is ever-changing, based on what is locally in season. This...
