Sushi Roll Edamame Salad

Are you suffering from too much butter and sugar?  Do you feel as though you're constantly coming down from a nasty caffeine buzz?  Maybe you're just burnt out on summer hamburgers.

This is the meal for you.  Shutterbean's Sushi Edamame Salad will cure what ails you.  It's jam-packed with greens: romaine, avocados, scallions, even kale!  There's a delicious green miso vinaigrette, full of fresh ginger and agave!

You can even serve it two ways: above (the regular ol' Abbi way) or...

...the Great Wall of Avocado, John Paul way.  We made it for dinner last night and it was a smash hit.  I topped it off with a bit of sriracha for some heat.  

We'll be fighting for the leftovers today.  I don't know if I can take the man who built such a foodie-architectural beauty, but this salad is worth it.

Sushi Bowl

After a week of indulging in all-inclusive drinks and food (yummy pina coladas and tons of tortilla chips with salsa, anyone?), it was time to reset the ol' taste buds last week.  I've been eying this recipe from Super Natural Cooking for several months, and finally had an excuse to really get my vegan-ness together.

The dressing of the rice is the real star of this recipe: citrusy with some raw sugar added for sweetness.  Honestly, I wanted to pour this on everything!

It's super-customizable for the seasons (add blanched asparagus in the spring, zucchini in the midst of summer, green beans in early fall) and meat-lovers (add chicken, pork, scrambled eggs, whatever floats your boat).  You'll love it!
