Recipe: Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls



eatwithclarity.com
5 stars

Easy and delicious! See the simple ingredient list!
Definitely restaurant-worthy -- each of our bowls would've been at least $30 (due to the amount of salmon) in a restaurant!

Salmon ingredients: salmon, soy sauce or tamari, honey, sriracha, garlic, water
Bowl ingredients: rice, cucumber, edamame, sriracha mayo, avocado, sesame seeds

Tips/Notes:
  • Even though it seems like a lot of sriracha, add red pepper flakes
  • Made our own sriracha mayo using sriracha, mayo, lemon, garlic salt
  • Served with vegetable egg rolls

Recipe: Okinawan Taco Rice


Food & Wine Magazine, Jun 2026, p. 73
4.8 stars

So good and flavorful but a bit acidic! Still really liked it! It's a fun Asian take on a Chipotle bowl. We made quite a few modifications.

Ingredients: sushi rice, beef, pepper Jack cheese, pico de gallo, Kewpie mayonnaise, ketchup, tamari or soy sauce, mirin, Worcestershire sauce, Japanese curry powder, cornstarch, water, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt

Topping Ingredients: lettuce, Mexican-style hot sauce, tortilla chips

Tips/Notes:
  • Used Impossible Beef
  • Couldn't find Japanese curry powder so used 1 tsp curry powder + 1 tsp togarashi
  • Used regular mayo instead of Kewpie mayo

Recipe: Power Cookies



Food & Wine Magazine, Jun 2026, p. 92
4.6 stars

These were good -- I liked them (great flavor), but they were soft, like falling apart soft so because of that I'd rather make other cookie recipes instead of this one again.

Ingredients: almond flour, natural nut butter, maple syrup, egg, whole-milk Greek yogurt, hemp seeds, baking soda, vanilla extract, butter, salt, add-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, pumpkin seeds...

Notes:
  • Used chocolate chunks
  • Made 15 cookies

Recipe: Green Pesto Pasta with Whipped Ricotta


Food & Wine Magazine, Jun 2026, p.91
5 stars with modifications

This was delicious -- but we would make it differently next time as we didn't like their pesto recipe nor steps. The addition of the ricotta mixture was a nice addition.

Ingredients for next time: pesto, pasta (bucatini), ricotta, heavy cream, sugar, butter, salt; top with pine nuts and Parmesan

Tips/Notes:
  • Basically, we're not going to follow the recipe's pesto instructions using mixed greens and will make our own homemade pesto
  • Didn't mix in the ricotta mixture with the pasta but will next time, 
  • Served with salad and Beyond Sausage

Recipe: Lentil and Mushroom Gratin


Food & Wine Magazine, Feb 2026, p. 93
4.8 stars

I wasn't sure how this one was going to turn out because of the simple ingredient list -- it is extremely flavorful and love the flavor combination of the herbs and Dijon mustard. Much much better than what we expected. Served with toast.

Ingredients: dried du Puy lentils (green lentils), mixed mushrooms, yellow onion, carrot, celery, broth, parsley, thyme, Dijon mustard, panko, creme fraiche, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt

Tips/Notes:
  • Use less broth ~ about 3.25 cups instead of 4 cups
  • Next time, bake panko separately (or saute in dry pan to brown) to keep it crisp and top bowls at table

Recipe: Crispy Gochujang Korean Tofu




Delicious and super easy to make. I really liked the spiciness of the sauce. The only thing that was a letdown was the tofu which wasn't crispy. We can probably use a different tofu recipe for this easy, healthy dish.

Sauce Ingredients: soy sauce or tamari, gochujang, tomato paste, vegetable broth, honey, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, water

Recipe: Pork Meatballs with Carolina Gold Sauce


Food & Wine Magazine, May 2026, p. 48
4.9 stars

This was so easy to make especially since we used Impossible Italian Plant-based Meatballs. Love the sauce (sweet and tangy almost like a BBQ sauce) -- and I ALWAYS love polenta!

Ingredients (modified for our recipe): Impossible Italian Plant-based Meatballs, polenta, light brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, vegetable broth, olive oil, black pepper, parsley
