I think I’ll be skipping the next couple weeks’ recipes – I haven’t been super motivated to create anything new, and am planning something new for the new year. I’m craving a return to simplicity and plan to rejigger my relationship to meal planning. I’ll be returning (loosely) to macros, and will shift to focusing on hitting protein numbers and making sure I get enough veggies. I won’t be strictly counting calories and won’t be specifically cutting carbs.
So far, I’m having a ball menu planning. Hopefully y’all will enjoy my nerding out over planning.
Even after living here for 4 years & Miami for about the same time, Winter just doesn’t feel like Winter with weather like this. Totally not complaining, there’s just a disconnect
This is a quick little salad that is easy to scale up to feed a crowd.
As written, this dressing recipe makes extras. I drizzled some on a fruit salad (kinda crappy mango & persimmon), and swirled a dollop into a quinoa brown rice mix for an extra creamy kick. Delicious.

Roasted Potato Salad with Miso Tahini Dressing
250g baby potatoes
Big hand baby spinach
1 clove minced garlic
Big hand cherry tomatoes
2Tbsp. tahini
2tsp. soy sauce or coconut aminos
1tsp. white miso
1tsp. date molasses or maple syrup
2tsp. citrus juice
Oil, salt & pepper
Optional topper: feta (mine was vegan feta)
Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet.
Bring a small pot of water to boil and parboil the potatoes 7 minutes or until almost done.
Halve the potatoes (or quarter if they’re a bit large) and add to the sheet. Drizzle with oil and season liberally with salt, pepper and any other spice you love (I used a chicken spice mix). Spread potatoes out into a single layer.
Lightly smush with the bottom of the pot or something heavy.
Bake 15 mins or until desired crispness is reached.
In a small bowl, whisk the tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, miso & citrus juice to make dressing. Thin with a little water to your desired consistency.
Add the potatoes, spinach, garlic & tomatoes to a large bowl, and toss with dressing.
