culinary inspiration: sprouted kitchen

Are you familiar with Sprouted Kitchen?

If you had asked me that question a few days ago, my answer would have been no. But thanks to this post by the Daily Muse, I'm completely obsessed. I've already found tons of recipes that I'm dying to try, and I honestly can't stop drooling over all of the gorgeous photos that accompany each post. (I'd really like to step up my game in that department.)

Here are a handful of recipes that I immediately bookmarked for myself:

• shitake mushroom + lentil asian tacos
• sweet potato cakes
• sauteed chard + gruyere grilled cheese
• quinoa falafels with tahini sauce
• roasted strawberry coconut milk ice cream

So what's your favorite food blog? Let me know in the comments section. I'd love to check it out.
