Sunshine Spicy Mustard Tahini Cruciferous Slaw from top angle

I usually don’t care for salads. I find them limp and boring. However, cabbage salads are in a whole other league for me. Give me a cabbage salad or slaw any day and I will be a happy camper.

This Sunshine Spicy Mustard Tahini Cruciferous Slaw is the perfect crisp, crunch salad covered with a creamy, sweet dressing to win over any non-believer’s heart. It certainly won me over.

In addition, quick, healthy, and delicious dishes are my favorite, and this Sunshine Slaw is just that. In just twenty minutes, I was at the table enjoying my healthy Sunshine Slaw.

Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Sushi

Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Sushi

Finished Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Sushi from above

This week, I’ve had Sushi on the mind. I adore Japanese cuisine, but as a Vegetarian, I get satisfying Japanese food far less often than I would like. My favorite Japanese restaurant is a hole in the wall up in San Francisco named Cha-Ya, but I so rarely go there now that I’m no longer living a few blocks away.

So, today, I made basic vegetable sushi with three types of filling: teriyaki tofu, carrots, and kabocha squash. The teriyaki tofu added a savory touch, the fresh carrots added a satisfying crunch, and the roasted kabocha squash added a smooth, sweet juxtaposition. I hope you enjoy this Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Sushi as much as I did!

Finished veggie spring rolls and peanut sauce from front

With my garden flourishing so well this summer and guests coming over for a game night in the evening, I decided to whip up some fresh veggie spring rolls with a peanut dipping sauce.

Using my harvest of mixed greens, green onions, and basil, these fresh spring rolls had a satisfying crunch when we bit into them. Paired with the spicy, nutty peanut dipping sauce, they quickly disappeared from the table. What a quick and healthy party appetizer!
