Tahini Carrot Cake
I’m sharing three recipes for Easter. The first is my super delicious Tahini Carrot Cake. Carrot cake has always been one of my favorites, but I usually find it a bit too sweet. So, I gave it a savory twist. Tahini and olive oil add moisture and richness, lending a subtle, nutty, fruity undertone that balances the natural sweetness of the carrots. The result is a deeply flavorful, not-too-sweet carrot cake that just happens to be dairy-free. Frost it however you like—or leave it bare. It’s just as good either way. Perfect for spring and especially lovely on an Easter table.
Coconut Harissa White Beans and Chicken
This one-pan meal comes together in just over 30 minutes. It is the perfect light and refreshing dish to make as we transition into the warmer months. Packed with protein and fiber and the perfect balance of spiciness, tanginess, and creaminess, it will be your new favorite weeknight dinner. Plus, it is gluten—and dairy-free.
One-Pan Chicken and Couscous with Olives and Herbs
This is one of the best recipes I have ever developed, and it took several tests to get it exactly perfect. This is such a flavorful, bright, and comforting dish to transition from winter to spring. The chicken and couscous comes together in one pan, and the tangy and briny olive and herb salad brings this dish together by cutting through the richness of the chicken and couscous. You’re going to love this one!
Romanian-Inspired Lamb and Pea Stew
This stew is inspired by a Romanian pea stew, but this version has tender lamb, and is layered with depth of flavor from wine, stock, and Eastern European-style seasonings. It is packed full of veggies and best served with a nice crusty bread like sourdough. You’ll love this one!

Baking this apple cake truly feels like a piece of cake! It is super simple and easy to put together, and it is a tried-and-true crowd-pleaser. This cake is magnificent, and the gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients help make it that way.
Almond Butter Noodles
These noodles are like no other! Creamy almond butter and coconut milk are whisked into a luscious dairy-free sauce that coats a bed of pappardelle, chicken, and peppers. It is a perfect meal for busy weeknights, coming together in 30 minutes.
