This recipe is one of my all-time favorites that is in regular rotation at my house! I serve this vegetarian chili taco salad with pickled jalapenos, and my homemade three bean chili.
If you are a taco salad purist, you will say that any salad with chili on it does not qualify as taco salad. I can’t disagree, but this salad is so fast, easy, and delicious! Maybe it shouldn’t be call taco salad, it should be called get in my belly salad! Continue reading

Tapenade (pronounced top-ah-nod) is a french dip or spread made from olives and other flavorful pairings such as capers and anchovies. I don’t stock anchovies as a pantry staple, therefore my garlic black olive tapenade is a vegan version of the classic!
I love garlic, and it pairs perfectly with the olives and capers in the tapenade. Did you know that garlic ranks number two as a highly beneficial superfood (right behind turmeric)? It has been linked to reducing/preventing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and infections (source). Continue reading

This weekend, I challenged myself to build a meal based on what I already had at home. These peanut butter tofu banh mi bowls helped me to use up left over veggies, and I discovered a new combo that I love – peanut butter and tofu!
I love to do my grocery shopping, which might be weird, but what kind of women doesn’t like to shop?! Personally, I don’t like to shop for clothes or shoes, I like to shop for food. I guess I’m a foodie. Maybe. Continue reading

My husband adores garlic. I use it in almost ever dish we make, but it’s rarely the main flavor component. In this creamy garlic potato soup, I used four cloves per serving!
The garlic is added three different times, to add great garlicky flavor with every step. First it’s sauted with some onion until caramelized, then I add more with the broth to simmer. Continue reading

In this recipe, I use classic kidney beans, black beans, and refried beans. The refried beans act as a thickener and add a creamy texture that binds all other flavors. Continue reading
