Lentil Salad with Asparagus and Radish

Posted on April 27, 2017 | 8 comments

I really love asparagus. I think it is the seasonality of it, the fact that it grows for a short time and then it’s gone for the season. Growing up, I ate farm fresh picked asparagus and now I refuse to buy it from the store; it just doesn’t taste the same. I love asparagus so much that I created an Asparagus Mini-Series last year that I am challenging myself to continue! Today I am sharing Lentil salad with Asparagus and Radish for the first Asparagus Mini-Series of 2017! Continue reading →

Turmeric Fried Rice with Edamame

Posted on March 23, 2017 | 8 comments

Turmeric is all the craze right now because of its huge number of health benefits. Have you heard about all the things turmeric can do for you? It is most well known for reducing inflammation, but also reduces risks of Alzheimer’s disease, and has been equally as effective at preventing and treating cancers as pharmaceutical drugs (Duke 2007). In the past, I have only used turmeric in my curry dishes. Now, I am trying to put it into more and more dishes to enjoy it’s health benefits. Try it in my turmeric fried rice with edamame recipe!

Lentil Cauliflower Vegan Sloppy Joes

Posted on March 20, 2017 | 18 comments

I have been eating a mostly vegetarian diet for a little over five years. One of the things I find myself easily doing is eating a lot of carbohydrates. I get plenty of protein too, but when you are searching for substitutes in a dish like sloppy joes, carb-heavy fillers can become the easy choice. I finally upgraded my lentil and bulgar sloppy joes recipe, focusing on getting a serving of veggies instead of carbs. Lentil cauliflower vegan sloppy joes are just as tasty, and help me to focus on eating more vegetables! Continue reading →

Plantain Black Bean Rice Bowls with Cilantro Pesto

Posted on March 6, 2017 | 10 comments

Follow my blog with Bloglovin A few years ago I took a trip to Puerto Rico and had plantains for the first time. I had always assumed that they were just like bananas, but the truth is that they are pretty different. A plantain is more well suited for cooking because it has a firm texture. Banana’s are usually reserved for baked goods because they are soft while plantains will hold up to the cooking process. My favorite part about plantains is that they add a hint of sweetness to dishes like my plantain black bean rice bowls with cilantro pesto. Continue reading →

One Pot Spanish Wheat Berries with Chickpeas and Olives

Posted on February 17, 2017 | 6 comments

Wheat berries are my favorite grain to cook with. They are inexpensive, and the texture is outstanding! I feel like they get overlooked so often because gluten free grains are popular right now. Also, fancier wheat grains are often used by recipe developers, so they get all the hype. I have tried both farro and kamut (ancient wheat grain varieties), and I don’t think they are worth the extra money when compared to standard wheat berries. This one pot Spanish wheat berries with chickpeas and olives is a take on arroz con pollo, made vegetarian of course! Continue reading →

Wild Rice and Vegetable Soup

Posted on February 5, 2017 | 6 comments

I love to make soup out of whatever I might happen to already have on hand. If you have a good broth and a few veggies, you can certainly come up with a dinner worthy meal. In this soup, I used the last of my wild rice. Wild rice is a wonderful grain; it’s chewy and adds great color. In this wild rice and vegetable soup I used what I had on hand for vegetables including onion, celery, carrot, and spinach. Continue reading →

Bean Barley and Mushroom Stew

Posted on January 20, 2017 | 2 comments

Barley is one of my favorite grains to cook with during the winter. For a grain, it has comfort food written all over it. I especially love it in a warm bowl of soup or stew. When it cooks in a dish like this bean barley and mushroom stew, the starches released make a creamy, silky texture that helps to thicken the stew and make it more luxurious without adding cream.
