Tangerine Yogurt Popsicles are simple to make and you can enjoy them from dessert, breakfast or a snack. They are made from delicious Ojai Pixie Tangerines and plain yogurt. #ojaipixies #tangerine #pixietangerines #citrusfruit #citrus #popsicles #tangerines #paletas #melissasproduce @melissasproduce

Yum! These chocolate drizzled Ojai Pixie Tangerines were really easy to make and they were delicious. Chocolate and citrus fruit are a wonderful combination. #ojaipixies #pixietangerines #tangerine #tangerines #ojai #californiafruit #citrusfruit #melissasproduce @melissasproduce #chocolatedrizzle

Vegan Garlic Ginger Gai Lan!  I had fun making my 2nd dish for the Melissa's Produce annual #LunarNewYear #LNYCookOff. The original recipe is not vegan, so made a couple of easy swaps to turn it into a plant based meal. I used mushroom instead of chicken bouillon and dark soy sauce instead of oyster sauce. It was absolutely delicious and it was easy to follow the steps for this new-to-me dish.  Wishing you health and happiness throughout the new year. #melissasproduce #gailan #ginger #gingerroot #garlic #mushroom #vegan #plantbased #nightshadefree #vegandinner #veganeats

Fermentation! I'm making vegan nightshade-free kimchi! The recipe and fresh veggies are from Melissa's Produce for their annual #LunarNewYear #LNYCookOff. I used coconut aminos instead of fish sauce to make it vegan and left out the chili flakes to make it nightshade-free. So excited to eat kimchi again! Wishing you health and happiness in the new year. #melissasproduce #kimchi #vegankimchi #vegan #plantbased #nightshadefree #nonightshades #ferment #fermented #fermentation #fermentedfoods #koreankimchi #kimchilover #napacabbage #ginger #garlic #coconutaminos #fermentedveggies #whitekimchi

Dandelion greens & artichoke skillet meal - easy, delicious and different! Ad: This meal was inspired by cookbook author @AmyRiolo and was made with ingredients from @MelissasProduce .  This was my first time to cook #dandeliongreens and it was fun to change this up from my usual flavor combinations. I combined #dandeion greens, garlic, #artichokehearts and #chickpeas in a skillet and cooked with #evoo . Also, added in some fresh #basil from my garden. @fordummies #amyriolo #mediterraneanlifestyle #italianrecipes #veganskillet #vegan #easyvegandinner #skilletmeal
