Guac!

Guacamole (A.K.A Guac!) is THE EASIEST dish to make. Whip up a batch in just 5 minutes. It looks fancy, and tastes so creamy, yet light because of the citrus.

Guac also works for most dietary restrictions: gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, heart-healthy, FOODIE-FRIENDLY...you name it!

Freezer-Friendly French Toast

French toast is the ULTIMATE brunch food. Sunday mornings just wouldn’t be the same without it. I also rely on frozen pre-prepared slices for a quick pre-workout snack, or to tide me over until a later-than-usual dinner. Just pop them in the toaster, top with nut-butter and voila!

Lemon-Tahini Dressing

This lemon-tahini dressing is one of THE most versatile toppings known to foodies. I came across it in The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Vegan Recipes to Glow from the Inside Out by Angela Liddon. Typically served cold as a salad dressing, it can also be used in warm dishes like stir-frys or drizzled on roasted vegetable medleys and whole grain one-pot concoctions.
