I might as well call this “weekend reading, express edition!” I’m buried under deadlines tonight, so this one has to be short and sweet, friends. Here are the recipes and reads that have my attention this week.
My idea of heaven: Sherrie’s avocado toast with cilantro lime cashew cream.
I’ve got a taco/tortilla recipe coming up this week, but in the meantime, check out these awesome lentil tacos with tomato radish salsa.
Substitute cashew cream or soy yogurt for the creme fraiche in this recipe, and you’ll have the most fantastic vegan appetizer on your hands. Heidi’s beautiful and vividly colored beet caviar.
Let’s start the dessert course with these awesomely decadent, raw and vegan lime cheesecake parfaits. Amazing!
Gotta love a three ingredient dessert–especially when it comes in the form of chocolate coconut ice cream.

1. Think there’s nothing new to say about roasted vegetables? Food52 has 14 roasted root (and other winter vegetable) recipes that’ll knock your socks off.
2. Kudos to Scientific American for calling attention to violence against elder care, hospital, and psychiatric care workers. A really important topic.
3. I loved this humorous piece about the challenges of learning a new discipline (in this case, math) later in life. Oh, how it evoked my post-bacc years!
5. An incredibly touching piece about animal morality (or, more accurately, shared moral behaviors between all species). Aeon has been doing a lot of stuff on this topic lately–very cool.
Have a good evening, friends.

Happy Sunday, all. I hope that this post finds you enjoying the weekend, and if it’s a holiday for you tomorrow, then I hope you spend today basking in the glow of just a little more weekend time. I’m working tomorrow afternoon and have been adjusting to the sudden onslaught of schoolwork, so it has been a fairly busy few days for me. But I’m still enjoying a quiet Sunday, punctuated by beautiful weather and lots of coffee–and the recipes and words you’ll find…
I nearly broke into clapping (at home, alone) earlier this week when I read Amanda Cohen’s Women’s Health article on women and appetite. In her essay, Cohen describes a scenario I think most women can relate to: Over the years, I’ve watched hundreds of dinners from the pass, and I have a terrible confession to make: When I see two women sit down, my heart sinks a little, because of what I see happen so often. First, one of them says, “I’m starving,…
Happy Sunday, everyone. It’s so hard to believe that we’re headed into the last days of August–the summer months always seem to fly by. I’m gearing up for my first full semester of my R.D. program, which means reconfiguring my work/client schedule, and also trying to keep up with publication of Food52 Vegan. September will be busy, but full of exciting things! Here are the recipes and reads that I’ve been digging into this weekend. First up, comfort food snacking, courtesy of my friend…
Two Aprils ago, I sat in my apartment with a college friend who over the years has become like a brother to me, though he lives on the West Coast and we see each other only a few times each year. “You know,” he said, “I know it’s last minute and you’ll probably say no, but you should come to Passover at my Mom’s tonight.” The invitation made good sense; I’d become close to his family when we were undergraduates, and, since his…

Avocado toast with cilantro lime cashew cream!!!!!! OMG!
I KNOW.
Work, work, work girl! Good luck with all of that and thanks bunches for dropping my avocado toast in the mix here. Lots of love to you this 2015, xo.
It’s a gorgeous recipe! Thank you for creating it 🙂
Best of luck with the deadlines! And thank you for the links.
Dear Gena,
Every week I eagerly anticipate the links you have in store for us, an I am never disappointed. Reading these articles has allowed me to have more nuanced and informed discussion with friends and colleagues about why I am vegan, in a way that makes them ponder, rather than assume that its my ‘choice’ but see that its also my responsibility.
Ofcourse I really enjoy reading the other links too!!! Mathochism was such a humorous start to my day. Dare I take up that much dreaded subject again???
Karuna, I am so happy that you enjoy weekend reading! I love putting it together each week.
