Crispy Quinoa Crunch Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Crispy Quinoa Crunch Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
I eat a salad every day for lunch. Then I eat salad for dinner as a side dish. I guess that means I’m no stranger to salads and to be honest, I have no problem making the same one every day but that sounds boring right? Good thing I have a long repertoire of favourite salad recipes and this one is on my top ten list. When I make a salad, the crunchier it is, the better it tastes. I loved the…

Vegan Kin Food Ideas
S'up! So, we've been seeing a lot of kin food posts, but the focus is always on meat. Then when vegan or vegetarian options are listed it's like salad + fruit and that's it. We've been vegan for some years now so here's a list of things we eat that we think others might enjoy too!
A piece of advice we found helpful is to think about the food item you miss and break it down into what exactly you miss. If you miss eating gems, is it the appearance? The crunch? Gritty texture or dry taste? In that spirit of that, our list will be largely broken up by texture/experience.
Crunch Crunch Snacks
This includes snacks/sides that get your jaws working or have a satisfying "snap" to them.
Roasted chickpeas
Kale chips
Ants on a log (celery, peanut butter and raisins)
Hummus + baby bell peppers/sugar snap peas/carrots
Granola / cereals (a lot of types are vegan, read the ingredients before purchasing)
Banana chips
Nuts + seeds
Popcorn (avoid "buttery" packages, buy plain or kettle corn)
Peanut butter pretzels (crunchy outside, delicious soft inside)
Smartie candies
Keep your cookies/chocolate bars in the fridge or freezer
Also, load cookies up with extra nuts/seeds/choco chips
Soft, but with some crunch
This section is for dishes/sides that are overall easier on the teeth, but with elements that still crunch or snap. If you're looking for recipes that combine different texture elements check these out.
Lentil nachos + nacho cheese sauce
"Crunchwrap" (quesadilla made with refried beans and homemade cheese sauce that we open and place tortilla chips and lettuce inside after grilling)
Tempeh bacon (we like this on a BLT or grilled cheese sandwich)
Crispy tofu sandwiches
Grilled asparagus
Apple slices with nut butter
Pickles
Apple turnovers
Vegan sushi (there's a ton of recipes, check out these two collections to get started X, X)
Falafel (can be used a hundred different ways, sandwiches, wraps, on it's own, etc.)
Roasted chickpeas again, but with a caveat**: You can roast them at 350 F for 30 mins and they'll be cooked enough to pop between your teeth, but soft in the center. We like to either eat them as-is or top our salads with them. (We season with salt/pepper before going into the oven, nothing else) **Must be eaten after baking, they will not keep
For the foragers in the crowd
These dishes focus more on having either multiple different foods in a visible way or a tactile element to how you eat them.
Chia pudding
Smoothie bowls
Overnight oatmeal
Trail mix
Pumpkin bars (We replace the egg with a flax egg and use vegan butter)
Chocolate chip banana monkey bread
Corn on the cob
Grilled veggie kebabs
Cranberry cilantro quinoa salad
Chili
Bush's beans and rice
Salads topped with sliced fruit, nuts, grains and/or beans
Edamame (a favorite, we love pulling out the insides with our teeth, you can get ones without the pods if they bother you)
Plant-based burgers, the kinds with the chunks of veggies (our favorite is dr. praeger's black bean quinoa burgers)
Chewy Foods
This section is for foods that work your jaw, but more in a "needing to chew" way.
Potato gnocchi
Dried fruit (comes in all different flavors, not just raisins)
Swedish fish, red vines, skittles or sour patch kids
Granola bars (a lot of types are vegan, read the ingredients before purchasing)
Thick bread-y pizza (our favorite dough recipe)
Pancakes
Chewy chocolate chip cookies
Peanut butter cookies
Baked oatmeal
Potato skins
Meat Substitutes
The most obvious way to make a dish vegan is to sub in the appropriate mock meat. We've eaten quite a few and we won't sugar-coat it: a lot of them are either going to match the taste, texture, OR look. It's hard for mock meats to copy meat 1:1, some get way closer than others, but if you go into this expecting no difference you will be disappointed.
Our two favorite brands are Impossible and Gardein. We've tried a lot of their products and have yet to eat one we don't like.
These aren't your only options though!
Beans
Falafel (deep-fried balls of ground chickpea)
Tofu
Tempeh (fermented soybeans)
Seitan (made from wheat gluten)
Jack fruit
You might have guessed based on the recipes shared, but we usually opt for beans. We haven't eaten much seitan or jack fruit, but they are options. At our local grocery stores they're sold in the "free from" section and can be brought pre-seasoned and ready to cook with. Jack fruit in particular is a popular replacement for shredded pork.
The trick with a lot of these is to marinate them. Tofu in particular so you can infuse it with flavor. Here's a few recipes we love:
Lentil and sweet potato loaf ("Neat"loaf)
Marinated tofu
Crispy tofu sandwiches
Tempeh bacon
Chili (our mom's recipe that we modified)
Soft / Squish
For things that are soft or squishy and you can slurp up.
Seaweed salad
miso soup
Pico de Gallo Black Bean Soup
"Nice" cream
Chocolate mousse
Oatmeal
Popsicles
Applesauce
Brownie batter hummus
Chia seed jam
Lavender syrup (to flavor other drinks, we use it in coffee)
Lavender lemonade (final product will be a light brown color)
Mashed potatoes + Gravy
Slow cooker apple cider
Tofu scramble
JUST egg
Non-dairy mac and cheese (our favorite brand is the upton's)
Smoothies (if you're looking for a protein powder to include, we recommend Vega)
**Just a reminder to supplement for B12 if you're consuming a vegan diet. There are some foods that are fortified with it; however, a supplement is cheap, easy to find and all-around a more reliable way to ensure you are getting enough.

A guide to making delicious dishes with furikake nori komi
Furikake nori komi is a tasty and adaptable condiment that works well with a wide range of foods. This Japanese condiment is a favorite among people who want to give their food a little more taste. It is renowned for its distinctive savory, salty, and umami flavor combination. Here's a comprehensive guide on preparing delectable dishes with furikake nori komi, along with suggestions on how to use it in different recipes.
Understanding furikake nori komi
Furikake nori komi is a type of furikake, a traditional Japanese seasoning, furikake nori komi. Sesame seeds and dried seaweed are usually the main ingredients, though occasionally there are additional ingredients like dried fish or bonito flakes. Although this mixture is intended to be sprinkled over rice, there are many other applications for it. It gives a lot of different meals a nice crunch and a deep, salty flavor.
Using Hawaiian furikake for rice dishes
Rice is one of the most common applications for Hawaiian furikake. This seasoning is a great way to add taste to plain steamed rice as a side dish. To serve, just scatter the furikake over the rice. To ensure fair distribution and as an extra touch, stir the furikake into the rice while it's still heated. The blend of tastes will bring out the best in the rice, making it an excellent side dish for any main meal.
Creating furikake nori komi snacks
You may also utilize furikake nori komi to make easy yet delicious snacks. Furikake popcorn is one simple recipe to try. Pop some basic popcorn kernels first. Toss the popcorn with a generous quantity of furikake nori komi once it's ready. The light, crispy texture of the popcorn is complemented by the wonderful umami flavor that the spice imparts. This snack is ideal as an appetizer at parties or as a quick treat.
Making crackers with furikake flavor using rice spice packets is another snack idea. Just make some handmade or store-bought crackers and, before baking, sprinkle them with furikake nori komi. The flavor will seep into the crackers, creating a crisp and savory snack.
Incorporating furikake into salads
Salads can be given an intriguing touch by using furikake nori komi. Start with a bed of mixed greens or any other desired salad element when preparing a furikake salad. To give the salad a distinct flavor profile, top with Hawaiian furikake. This addition is especially delicious on salads with Asian-inspired sauces or toppings. The furikake improves the overall flavor of the salad by adding a savory depth.
To make a heartier salad, try mixing in cooked grains like farro or quinoa, as well as veggies and a mild dressing. Furikake nori komi, when added in little amounts, gives the dish a unique flavor and visual appeal.
Enhancing main dishes with furikake
A range of main dishes can be seasoned with furikake nori komi. For example, it can be used as a flavoring dusting over grilled or roasted vegetables. Just mix the vegetables before roasting or grilling with a little olive oil and furikake nori komi. The flavorful flavor of the spice will soak into the vegetables.
Another choice is to top baked or grilled fish with Hawaiian furikake. The spice gives the fish a nice crunch and enhances its inherent qualities. Before baking, sprinkle the fish filets with a mixture of furikake nori komi and breadcrumbs for a simple preparation. The end product is a tasty and crispy crust that brings out the flavor of the fish.
Rice seasoning packets can also be used to flavor soups and stews. Add a pinch of furikake nori komi to the soup or stew during the cooking process to enrich the broth with additional flavor. This method works particularly well with miso soup or other Asian-style soups.
Making furikake rice balls
Furikake nori komi makes the iconic Japanese snack, onigiri, very simple. Cook some rice and allow it to cool slightly to make onigiri. Use furikake nori komi to press the rice into balls or triangle shapes. This gives the rice balls a taste and textural boost. For a change, try incorporating the furikake straight into the rice before shaping, which will result in a consistent flavor throughout.
Using furikake as a garnish
Furikake nori komi makes a delicious garnish for a variety of foods. Add a tiny pinch of additional spice to scrambled eggs, avocado toast, or even pasta to give these dishes a little something extra. The seasoning enhances the dish's flavor and color and works nicely as a finishing touch.
Conclusion
Furikake nori komi is an adaptable condiment that adds flavor to a variety of foods. This seasoning is a useful addition to any kitchen, as it can turn plain rice into a tasty side dish or give snacks, salads, and main meals a distinctive touch. Trying with rice spice packets and Hawaiian furikake can lead to fascinating new discoveries on how to improve regular meals.

10 Delicious and Healthy Food Ideas with Broccoli
Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse that can elevate any dish with its vibrant green color, unique texture, and subtle flavor. Whether you're looking for a quick snack, a hearty meal, or a refreshing side dish, broccoli can be your go-to ingredient. Here are ten creative and delicious food ideas to incorporate more broccoli into your diet.
1. Broccoli and Cheddar Soup
Nothing beats a warm bowl of broccoli and cheddar soup on a chilly day. The creamy cheese pairs perfectly with the slightly bitter taste of broccoli, making this a comforting and satisfying meal. Add some crusty bread on the side, and you've got a perfect lunch or dinner option.
2. Broccoli Stir-Fry
Broccoli is a staple in stir-fry dishes. Combine it with other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas, and add your choice of protein—such as chicken, tofu, or shrimp. Toss it all in a savory soy sauce or teriyaki glaze for a quick and nutritious weeknight dinner.
3. Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Parmesan
Roasting broccoli brings out its natural sweetness and adds a delightful crunch. Toss the florets in olive oil, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, then roast until golden brown. This dish makes for a great side to any main course.
4. Broccoli and Quinoa Salad
For a light and healthy lunch, try a broccoli and quinoa salad. The nuttiness of quinoa complements the broccoli, while a lemon vinaigrette adds a refreshing zing. Add some cherry tomatoes, red onions, and feta cheese for extra flavor and texture.
5. Broccoli Pesto Pasta
Switch up your traditional basil pesto by adding broccoli to the mix. Blanch the broccoli before blending it with basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil. Toss the pesto with your favorite pasta for a vibrant, green dish that's both nutritious and delicious.
6. Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken
Elevate your chicken dinner by stuffing it with a mixture of broccoli and cheese. The broccoli adds a pop of color and a nutritious boost, while the cheese melts into gooey perfection. Serve with a side of roasted potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
7. Broccoli Tater Tots
Looking for a fun and healthy snack? Try making broccoli tater tots. These bite-sized treats are made by mixing chopped broccoli with grated potatoes, breadcrumbs, and a touch of cheese. Bake until crispy and golden, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
8. Broccoli Frittata
Broccoli is a great addition to any frittata. Sauté the florets with onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms before adding beaten eggs. Bake until the eggs are set, and enjoy a protein-packed breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.
9. Broccoli Slaw
For a fresh and crunchy side dish, make a broccoli slaw. Shred broccoli stems and mix with carrots, red cabbage, and a tangy dressing made from mayo, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey. This slaw is perfect for barbecues, picnics, or as a topping for sandwiches.
10. Broccoli and Ricotta Pizza
Upgrade your pizza night by adding broccoli and ricotta cheese as toppings. Spread a thin layer of ricotta over the pizza dough, then scatter broccoli florets, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake until the crust is golden and the broccoli is tender.
Broccoli is an incredibly versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of dishes. Whether you're looking for something quick and easy or more elaborate, these ideas should inspire you to add more of this nutritious vegetable to your meals. Plus, with its numerous health benefits, incorporating more broccoli into your diet is a delicious way to support your overall well-being.

The Versatility of Cast Iron Skillets in Everyday Cooking
Cast iron skillets are a cornerstone of the modern kitchen, prized for their versatility, durability, and ability to enhance the flavor of dishes. At Dynamic Cookwares, we celebrate the unmatched versatility of cast iron skillets and how they elevate everyday cooking experiences.
Cooking Techniques:
1. Searing and Browning: Cast iron skillets excel at creating a perfect sear on meats, poultry, and seafood. The even heat distribution and excellent heat retention allow you to achieve a caramelized crust while locking in juices and flavors.
2. Sauteing and Stir-Frying: The large cooking surface of a cast iron skillet makes it ideal for sautéing vegetables or stir-frying meats. The high sides prevent spillovers, and the heat retention ensures even cooking throughout.
3. Baking and Roasting: From cornbread to cobblers and roasted vegetables to baked chicken, cast iron skillets can seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven. They distribute heat evenly, resulting in perfectly cooked dishes with golden-brown crusts.
4. Frying: Whether you're frying chicken, making crispy French fries, or preparing tempura, cast iron skillets maintain a consistent temperature, resulting in evenly fried food with a delightful crunch.
Versatility in Ingredients:
1. Meats: Use your cast iron skillet to sear steaks, roast a whole chicken, or fry pork chops. The skillet's ability to hold heat ensures that meats cook evenly and develop a flavorful crust.
2. Vegetables: Saute onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, or roast carrots, broccoli, and potatoes to perfection. The even heat distribution helps vegetables caramelize evenly, enhancing their natural sweetness.
3. Grains: Cook grains like quinoa, rice, and farro in your cast iron skillet for added depth of flavor. You can also toast nuts or seeds to enhance their nuttiness before adding them to salads or dishes.
4. Eggs: Fry, scramble, or make a frittata in your cast iron skillet for perfectly cooked eggs with a golden exterior. The non-stick properties of a well-seasoned skillet make cooking eggs a breeze.
Tips for Using Cast Iron Skillets:
1. Preheat Properly: Always preheat your cast iron skillet before adding ingredients. This ensures even cooking and prevents food from sticking.
2. Use the Right Oil: Use oils with high smoke points like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil for cooking in cast iron skillets. Avoid using butter or low-smoke-point oils, as they can burn and affect the flavor.
3. Season Regularly: Maintain the seasoning of your cast iron skillet by seasoning it regularly with oil or fat. This helps create a natural non-stick surface and prevents rusting.
4. Avoid Soaking: Never soak your cast iron skillet in water or leave it to air dry. Instead, hand wash it with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it immediately and thoroughly.
5. Store Properly: Store your cast iron skillet in a dry place with good air circulation. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of it to prevent damage.

Asian Edamame Peanut Crunch Salad
Serving: 6
Ingredients
For the salad
½ cup uncooked quinoa
1 pound frozen edamame (not in the shell) 16 ounce
1 ½ cups shredded red cabbage
2 cups finely chopped kale
2 large carrots
¼ cup chopped scallions
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 cup chopped roasted cashews can sub for peanuts
Optional: crispy wonton strips
For the dressing
3 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter (preferably unsalted)
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp honey (maple syrup for vegan)
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 clove garlic minced
2 tsp sriracha (can omit if you don’t like spice)
2-4 tbsp water to thin
Directions
Rinse the quinoa and add to a pot with 1 cup of water. Cook according to these instructions.
Meanwhile, add the edamame to a bowl with 1/2 cup of water and cover. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or add to a steamer basket and steam on the stove.
While those are cooking, prepare the other veggies. Shred the cabbage (I like to use a mandoline), finely chop the kale, grate the carrot and chop the scallions and cilantro.
When the edamame and quinoa are done, let cool for about 10 minutes.
Add all ingredients for the dressing into a shaker bottle, mason jar, or just a bowl and whisk together until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Add the quinoa, edamame and all veggies to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing on top and mix until well combined.
Top with chopped roasted cashews and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Notes
This salad gets better with time as the dressing has a change to soften the veggies and infuse them with flavor. It will keep in the fridge for about 5 days in an airtight container.
To make life easier, I recommend purchasing shelled edamame for this recipe. Shelled edamame has been removed from the shell so you won’t need to do that yourself.

So why not give it a try and impress your friends and family with this mouthwatering dish? Tips: Here are some tips to help you make the perfect Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken: - Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are more flavorful than boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and they also stay moist and tender when roasted. - Marinate the chicken: Letting the chicken marinate in the lemon garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse the chicken with flavor and tenderize the meat. - Roast at high heat: Roasting the chicken at 400°F (200°C) helps to create crispy skin and juicy meat. - Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh garlic, lemon juice, and herbs will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. - Let the chicken rest: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes after roasting allows the juices to redistribute and ensures that the meat is moist and tender. - Garnish with fresh parsley: Chopped fresh parsley makes a great garnish and adds a pop of color to the dish. How long should I let the chicken rest before serving? It's recommended to let the chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and settle, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chicken. Simply cover the chicken loosely with foil and let it rest on a cutting board or serving platter. This will also give you some time to prepare any sides or garnishes to go along with the chicken. After the resting period, you can slice or serve the chicken as desired. Enjoy! What are some popular sides that go well with chicken? There are many sides that go well with chicken, depending on your personal preferences and the cuisine you are cooking. Here are some popular options: - Roasted vegetables: Roasted vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, and potatoes are a classic side dish for roasted chicken. The caramelized flavors of the vegetables complement the savory flavors of the chicken. - Steamed or sautéed greens: Healthy greens such as spinach, kale, and bok choy make a great side dish for chicken. Simply sauté or steam the greens with garlic and olive oil for a healthy and flavorful side. - Rice or grains: Rice, quinoa, or couscous are great side dishes that can be flavored with herbs, spices, or citrus to complement the flavors of the chicken. - Salads: A fresh salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a tangy vinaigrette makes a great light side dish for chicken. - Bread or rolls: Freshly baked bread or rolls are a great way to sop up any remaining juices or sauce from the chicken. - Pasta or noodles: Chicken pairs well with a variety of pasta dishes, such as spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo, or chicken noodle soup. These are just a few examples, but there are many other sides that can go well with chicken depending on your personal tastes and the cuisine you are cooking.

By marinating the chicken in a tangy lemon garlic mixture and roasting it to perfection, you'll create a juicy and flavorful meal that's sure to impress. When serving the chicken, be sure to let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving, and consider pairing it with a variety of healthy and flavorful sides such as roasted vegetables, steamed greens, rice or grains, salads, bread or rolls, or pasta or noodles.
