I absolutely love veggie pasta recipes. My husband on the other hand, not so much. When I made this eggplant basil pasta bake with smoked mozzarella for dinner, I was floored when he said, Wow, this is really good!

I found a HUGE box of poblanos at my local farmers market for only $1!! Seriously, the farmers market is the best. My peppers came home and I and stuffed them full of pantry staples to make a delicious meal! Continue reading

The humble tortilla can be used in so many delicious ways, it is one of my favorite starting points for meal planning ideas! This week, I decided it was time to try homemade vegetarian chimichangas, so I made jackfruit mushroom baked chimichangas!
One package of tortillas can make many different types of meals, without loading up your grocery list. I also made these burritos with my tortillas, and both meals were a hit! Continue reading

This month, the recipe redux asked us for our favorite healthy recipe celebrating stone fruits! Peaches are actually my second favorite stone fruit, behind cherries, and I love them in these barbecue black bean tacos with peach salsa!
Peaches pair perfectly with other fresh salsa ingredients, like acidic tomatoes, and bright cilantro. Their sweetness really helps to balance the salsa, which is the star of this dish! Continue reading

One of my goals with this blog is to help people learn how to cook more meatless meals. If you are experimenting with meatless eating, or a new vegetarian trying to learn some tricks of the trade, I have so much to share with you about cooking tofu! Continue reading
I have a question for you today. What are the 7 layers you use in your 7 layer dip? On these 7 layer dip bean tostadas I used refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese, jalapenos, and tomatoes!
I feel like the base, from beans to cheese, is pretty standard. However, the additional toppings are something that everyone might do a little differently. Continue reading

This tex mex black bean wedge salad is loaded with veggies including corn, tomatoes, and black beans for protein. The dressing is made from yogurt and hot sauce and is creamy, tangy, and spicy!
I love salads on a hot summer day because you don’t have to cook, and heat up the kitchen. Salads can also be a great light meal if you take it easy on the toppings, which I tend to over do. That’s what work outs are for, right?! Continue reading
