Vampire Kiss Salad + Cherry Vinaigrette

September 8, 2025 Amanda Plott

Brace yourself, fellow flavor fanatics, because this isn’t your typical leafy green snooze fest. The Vampire Kiss Salad is here to bite into your taste buds with a burst of juicy, tangy, and downright vampy goodness. Think dark, brooding greens, jewel-like cherries, and a vinaigrette so good it’s practically supernatural. Don’t worry—this salad’s only guilty pleasure is how healthy it is. No vampires were harmed in the making... except maybe your diet, in the best way possible.

Why “Vampire Kiss”?

The name comes from the deep, crimson cherry vinaigrette that stains every leaf like a kiss from the undead (in a totally delicious, non-creepy way). Plus, cherries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, giving you a boost that vampiric legends could only dream of. Leafy red greens adds iron and fiber, because even bloodsuckers need to keep their strength up. And to keep things interesting, this salad has a little crunch and nuttiness that’ll make you swoon faster than a late-night creature of the night…

Sticky Tahini Sweet Potatoes (With Chili Crunch)

August 3, 2025 Amanda Plott

If you’ve never considered tahini for your potatoes, prepare to have your culinary world rocked. Sticky Tahini Sweet Potatoes are here to flip the script on your typical side dish game—offering crispy, tender potatoes cloaked in a luscious, nutty tahini glaze that’s both addictive and guilt-free.

Why Tahini? Why Sweet Potatoes?

Tahini, the creamy sesame seed paste, is not just for hummus. It’s packed with healthy fats, protein, and calcium, making it a superstar ingredient when you want flavor and nourishment. Potatoes get a bad rap sometimes, but they’re actually a great source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber — especially when you keep the skins on (hello, extra nutrients and fiber!).

Combining the two is a match made in flavor heaven. The tahini adds a rich, slightly earthy creaminess with a hint of nuttiness that coats the sweet potatoes perfectly, turning every bite into a sticky, savory sensation…
