Friends, I am so excited/anxious to share this recipe with you today! I’m excited because this teriyaki mushroom jerky recipe is Amazing (with a capital A!), and I’m anxious because I am also sharing my first ever video!!
I have been interested in video for the blog for a while now, but honestly, time to learn a new skill has been difficult to find. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and I know that this video is far from perfect, but you have to start somewhere. The more time that I spend making videos, the better they will get. I hope you enjoy it! Continue reading

Do you have a favorite food that you can’t get enough of? Right now, mine is capers! I want to put them on everything, including these Sicilian roasted root vegetables.
I love to read cooking magazines. To be honest, I spend enough time in front of a computer that reading the physical format is enjoyable. I keep a pen ready to write all over the pages, and mark all my favorite recipes with tags. It’s addicting. Continue reading

When I want to create a new recipe, and I want it to be a hit for my family, tacos are the way to go. These teriyaki mushroom tacos are super flavorful, made with a homemade teriyaki sauce and sriracha mayo!
My husband thinks that tacos are a food group. I can’t disagree, tacos are pretty much the most awesome way to devour some deliciousness. The tortilla should have an award for being the best food delivery service. Continue reading

Recently, I have been lamenting spring. However, spring goes as quickly as it comes, so I’m trying to live in the moment and enjoy the cool weather before summer’s heat sets in. This creamy chickpea lentil soup is the perfect way to enjoy the last of winter’s cool weather.
Do you ever find yourself wishing you were somewhere else? Enjoying the moment is an important life skill, and I find sometimes it takes practice. I totally connect to life through food, so I stay in the moment by making seasonal dishes. Continue reading

I love to grow arugula in my garden, but the homegrown arugula is much stronger in flavor than the baby arugula you get from the store. I started making this arugula wild rice salad to tame those strong garden fresh flavors!
The wild rice helps to subdue the peppery arugula by bulking up the salad with a mild earthy flavor (which pairs quite nicely). I also add cranberries for sweetness, pecans for crunch and protein, and feta for a salty bite. Continue reading

This week, the temperatures here have been in the single digits (not as cold as many places, but still cold for us!). When it’s cold outside, a nice warm bowl of soup is in order. This creamy carrot ginger soup is what’s for dinner!
This soup is more filling than a traditional bowl of carrot soup. It has a hidden ingredient that adds protein, and an extra layer of creaminess! Continue reading

Chinese five spice powder is a delicious blend of warm spices, including things like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg! I love pairing these warming flavors with bright citrus in this five spice chickpea clementine buddha bowl!
Before we move on, lets talk about the buddah bowl. It has become a popular name for vegetarian or vegan dish served in a single bowl. Usually you see a combination of whole grains, plant based proteins, veggies, and sometimes fruit! Continue reading

This month’s recipe redux theme was New Year, New Ingredient. My new ingredient is chickpea pasta! I use it to create this high protein mushroom swiss pasta bake.
Usually, I wouldn’t make a dish like this for dinner. It’s just pasta, veggies, and cheese. There’s no specific source of protein, which I need as a 90% vegetarian who likes to work out. Continue reading
