It’s February, and I am all about fresh, bright food that hints at warmer days to come. Although, I live in the Northeast, so who am I kidding? Those warmer days are still months away, no matter how hopeful I always get when March approaches. At the very least, I will channel sunnier days in the food I eat while remaining cozily inside. What better way to brighten an endless stretch of overcast 30 degree weather than a taco night? Tacos have a way of transporting me to a balmy summer night on vacation. These crispy cauliflower tacos are a weeknight favorite in our house. I like tacos that have layered flavor and texture, and these hit all the right buttons — crispy, crunchy, tangy, creamy, slightly-spicy. Also, they are entirely plant-based and are vegan-friendly and gluten-free-friendly. But, more importantly, they are delicious, and will please all types of eaters.

The recipe consists of a few simple components: crispy cauliflower, creamy black bean spread and a tangy cabbage apple slaw. Both the bean spread and the slaw can be prepared a day or two in advance. If you are into meal prepping over the weekend, both would be great candidates to add to your lineup. This recipe intentionally makes extra of both to carry you through multiple meals. After taco night, I love to stuff sweet potatoes with the leftover toppings, use them in salads or grain bowls or use the black bean spread as a snack-time veggie dip. This recipe is the perfect example of how I like to cook for weeknights — relying on components prepped in bulk to make throwing together meals that much quicker. For taco night, if you have already prepped the black bean dip and the slaw, all you will have left to do is roast the cauliflower, slice an avocado and warm some tortillas. Easy! And if prepping is not your thing, the black bean spread and the slaw are both quick and easy and can be prepped while the cauliflower roasts.

Now for the cauliflower. I toss the florets with spices, olive oil and cornmeal before roasting at high heat to achieve an addictive crispy, crunchy texture. I like to use coarse, stone-ground cornmeal to really take the crunch to the next level. After the cauliflower is nicely browned and crisp, assemble the tacos straight away and serve! I like to dollop the black bean spread on each tortilla, layer a few slices of avocado, top with a handful of cauliflower, a spoonful of slaw, a squeeze of lime and a little cilantro. One bite, and I am instantly transported to a warm, sunny day.

Enjoy! xo Maggie

Scale

Ingredients

For the crispy cauliflower: 

  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped into 1.5 inch florets
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal

For the creamy black bean dip:

  • 2 15-oz cans black beans (ideally no salt added and BPA-free), drained
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1–2 tbsp water

For the tangy cabbage and apple slaw:

  • 3 tbsp lime juice (from about 2 small limes)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey (use maple syrup for vegan) 
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayo (I used avocado oil mayo; you can also substitute vegan mayo or greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 large head purple cabbage, shredded 
  • 1 green apple, finely sliced into matchsticks 
  • 2 scallions, white and dark green parts thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 to 1 whole jalapeño chile, seeded and minced (optional)

To Assemble:

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 8 tortillas, warmed (use corn or grain-free tortillas for gluten-free)
  • Lime and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Add oil, salt and spices and mix to coat. Sprinkle cornmeal over the cauliflower and mix until evenly coated.Transfer cauliflower to two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. I recommend using two baking sheets with the florets spread widely apart to encourage browning. Roast for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through. Cauliflower should be crisp and starting to brown.
  3. While the cauliflower roasts, make the slaw and black bean dip. For the black bean dip, place all ingredients except water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add water 1 tbsp at a time to thin out to a creamy (not pasty) consistency. I usually need only 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. For the slaw, whisk together lime juice, ACV, honey, salt, oil, mustard, mayo and spices in a large bowl until well-combined. Add shredded cabbage, apple, scallions, cilantro and jalapeño (if using). Toss to combine. Let sit at least 15 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop and the cabbage to tenderize. You can also prep both of these components a day or two in advance.
  4. Assemble the tacos: place a generous dollop of black bean spread on each tortilla, layer on a few slices of avocado, add a handful of cauliflower florets, top with a spoonful of slaw and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. For the slaw, I use a mandolin to make quick work of shredding the cabbage and a mandolin with a matchstick attachment to shred the apple. You can also use a food processor, a box grater or a regular old knife.
  2.  You can prep the slaw and black bean dip a day or two in advance.

.
It’s National Voter Registration Day. Are you registered? 2020 has been a punishing year, but it can end as the year we turned things around and saved our democracy and planet (that is truly what is at stake). Make every minute count until Nov. 3. RBG did to the very end. Here are four things to do NOW:
.
(1) VOTE. Make sure you and everyone in your circle are registered to vote. Then, make a voting plan, and give yourself extra time.Text VOTER to 26797.
(2) DONATE. We must flip the Senate. Donate to the @votesaveamerica Get Mitch or Die fund, which splits donations among key senate races throughout the country. They have raised over $20 million since the news of RBG!
(3) VOLUNTEER. Adopt a swing state through @votesaveamerica . Write letters to low-propensity swing state voters through @votefwd . Volunteer to be a poll worker through @powerthepolls 
(4) SPEAK. Use whatever platform you have, be that a social media following, a large group of friends or your immediate family to make sure people understand the importance of this election and what is on the line. Now is not the time to shy away from talking about “politics.”
.
Wake up on November 4th knowing you did everything you could at this historic moment. What is your reason to fight? I promise, giving a damn feels way better than apathy.
Moving Forward 〰️ Over the last couple of week Moving Forward 〰️ Over the last couple of weeks I have realized that I have a lot more work to do in unpacking my own privilege and understanding the depths of racial injustice in our society. For far too long, I operated under the mistaken notion that my progressive politics was enough in the fight for racial justice. Feminism, climate activism…those were my lanes, I thought. I believed racial justice wasn’t my lane. This notion was emblematic of my own privilege, and it was wrong. Human rights should be the main highway on which all of these lanes travel toward a more just and equitable planet. 〰️
On this small platform, I discuss food and wellness, and I have gotten comments that I should “focus on that.” Well, what is “wellness" without an underpinning of basic human rights for all? How do we promote eating healthy, nourishing food, without acknowledging that access to such food is disproportionately limited in communities of color? Wellness should be as much outward-looking as it is inward-looking. I hope to continue exploring these intersections in my content moving forward. If you get my newsletter, this space will be more like that — reflective of the bigger picture. There will still be pretty pictures of food, but there will also be something more. I am still figuring out what that will look like.
〰️
Of course, the real work of anti-racism happens behind the squares of Instagram, and not just while it is trending, but every day. I commit to doing the work within myself and my own family, and taking action. It may be uncomfortable to discuss (it is for me), but I invite you into my discomfort in the hope that we can learn and grow together.
〰️
To my Black readers, I hope you find the rest and peace you deserve, now and always. Lots of love to all.
MUTED — I stand in solidarity with those protest MUTED — I stand in solidarity with those protesting racial violence and systemic oppression across our country. This week, I am muting my regular content and will continue to amplify voices of anti-racism and social justice.
.
More importantly, with open eyes and ears and a great deal of humility, I will commit to actively engaging in anti-racism by educating myself and my family, donating to racial justice causes, supporting BIPOC owned businesses and pressuring businesses and governments to bring about systemic change. Not just today or during the current media cycle, but every day. Join me — let’s get to work.

If you can get your (gloved) hands on some rhubarb this week, make this cake. It’s the Plum Almond Cupcake recipe from my blog (linked in bio), made into one larger cake with rhubarb swapped in for the plums. .
RECIPE NOTES: If you don’t have millet, just use more all-purpose or almond flour. If you also don’t have almond flour, use all all-purpose (spooned, leveled and sifted). I also added 1 tsp cardamom, the zest of 1 orange and a 1 in. knob of ginger, grated. I folded into the batter a heaping cup of chopped rhubarb and topped the cake with long, thin slices of more rhubarb. If you don’t have rhubarb, apples, pears, frozen berries, etc. would also be delicious. Don’t forget the sprinkle of sugar on top — it yields a lovely crunch. I baked in an 8 inch square pan. Enjoy!
I hope everyone is hanging in there. This Quinoa w I hope everyone is hanging in there. This Quinoa with White Beans, Chicken Sausage + Kale is an easy one pot dinner we make weekly. It’s quick, nourishing and ripe for adaption to your pantry/fridge — perfect for right now. Recipe below and follow along in my stories. Take care 🖤
.
Tips: Vegetarian? Leave out the sausage and sub in another can of white beans or add sweet potato (diced small so it cooks through (1/4”)). Don’t have white beans? Sub in any canned or cooked bean. Don’t have kale? Sub in any hearty green, fresh or frozen. Top with crumbled goat cheese or any cheese hanging out in the back of your fridge…or none!
.
RECIPE:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 sm yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced (if you have it)
12 oz chicken sausage, sliced
1 tbsp dijion mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup quinoa (I prefer tricolor or red), rinsed and drained
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups broth, chicken or veggie
4 cups kale, roughly chopped
2-4 oz crumbled goat cheese
Salt and pepper
.
(1) Heat oil in a large pan (that has a fitted lid) over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes until starting to soften. Add rosemary and sausage. Cook for about 5 more minutes until browned, flipping and stirring occasionally. Add mustard and vinegar to deglaze pan, scraping up any brown bits.
(2) Stir in quinoa, white beans and broth and another pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Stir in kale, cover again, and cook for 3-5 more minutes until tender. Remove from heat. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper to taste.
(3) Serve topped with crumbled goat cheese, any fresh herbs you may have on hand and a hunk of crusty bread. We also love this with roasted sweet potatoes. Enjoy!
St. Patrick’s Day feels very different this year St. Patrick’s Day feels very different this year, but even in this time of social distancing may we remember our common humanity and lift each other up in any way we can. Here’s my recipe for wholesome Irish Soda bread — it’s a very forgiving recipe that makes for a great activity for homebound kids. Take care! 🍀🌈
.
RECIPE
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup raisins
5 tbsp cold butter, diced
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cup buttermilk or kefir
1 egg
.
1) Preheat oven to 375.
2) In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
3) Using your finger, a fork or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until evenly distributed and mixture resembles coarse sand.
4 ) Whisk together the egg and buttermilk and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir with a large spoon just until combined (don’t over mix, which may prove impossible if kids are “helping”). If mixture is dry, add more kefir/buttermilk little by little. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but not wet and no raw flour visibly remaining.
5 )Turn out the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper dusted with flour. Lightly coat your hands in flour, then shape the dough into a round loaf. Optional: sprinkle with rolled oats and turbinado sugar for a little crunch. Cut a cross in the center of the dough. Transfer to baking sheet (on the parchment to minimize clean-up). Bake for 40-50 minutes, until nicely browned and it sounds hollow when tapped. Enjoy with butter, flaky salt and a drizzle of honey!

If you’re homebound, at least you’ll have cookies. These are chewy almond butter spelt chocolate chunk cookies, and they are magical. The recipe is below. Stay healthy!
.
RECIPE
.
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup almond butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup almond flour
1 cup spelt flour (or whole wheat/ AP)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
6 oz. chopped dark chocolate (about 1 heaping cup)
Flaky salt for topping
.
(1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together dry ingredients and set aside. Beat butter, sugars and almond butter on high until light and fluffy (a few minutes). Scrape down the sides, add vanilla and egg and beat again until well-combined. Add dry ingredients in thirds, mixing until just combined. Stir in chopped chocolate. Refrigerate dough for at least 15 minutes or up to overnight to allow the dough to firm up a bit.
(2) Scoop dough by the heaping tablespoon onto baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking. Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
