Lemon-Roasted Cauliflower With Quinoa and Sun-dried Tomatoes

The cauliflower pops with bright acidic flavors, but it's matched well with the sweetness of caramelized onions and peppery arugula. Sun-dried tomatoes add another tart element, and toasted pine nuts and a bed of quinoa add a nuttiness that rounds it out nicely.

Guinness Beef Stew Pot Pies

Controversial statement: There's only one good thing about St. Patrick's Day in the United States. And that one good thing is an excuse to make Guinness Beef Stew!

The filling in these homemade ravioli is a simple, bright cheese filling that will allow you to dress it up anyway you want. This recipe uses bacon-fried Brussels sprouts and a simple sauce. But, you'll have so many ravioli that you can freeze a lot of them for multiple preparations.

After you freeze them, you'll be just five minutes away from homemade ravioli and delicious marinara sauce.

My favorite brunch spot in Ann Arbor, MI is Café Zola and they had this dish on their specials menu one time and I've been longing for it ever since. Well, they're not brining it back, so I had to make it myself.

Three-Pepper Vegetarian Chili With Parsnips

This is a super easy chili you can quickly make on a weeknight. And even though it's a veggie chili, there's a lot of vibrant, complex flavors and umami notes thanks to the dry sherry, worcesterchire sauce, and roasted peppers.

I got the recipe for this salad from Epicurious, so it's not an original creation. But, it's so bright and beautiful and delicious I needed to share it here.
