Have you ever tried hominy? I have to admit that testing this recipe was my first time cooking with hominy. It has a pleasant nutty flavor and soft, fluffy texture. Try it in this chipotle sweet potato hominy soup to see what I mean!
I loaded this soup up with lots of vegetables to make it hearty and filling, but still light. Sweet potato is the star of this dish, right behind the hominy, and so I added chipotle for a sweet and spicy kick. Continue reading

Mexican food is hands down my favorite type of food, so it should not be a surprise that we eat tacos all the time. Luckily, there are so many delicious taco fillings (like these grilled tofu and summer vegetable tacos) that tacos never get old.
Summer is the perfect time to be outside enjoying time around the grill. I hear a lot of vegetarians and vegans struggle to come up with ideas for meals to put on the grill. Don’t worry I am hear to help! Continue reading

This year I tried growing sweet potatoes in the garden for the first time. It was a success! Now I have a bowl full of sweet potatoes waiting for creative uses, like this sweet potato black bean chipotle chili!
I seriously loved this chili! The sweetness of the potatoes, and the smokey chipotle really play well with each other. It is different than most chili recipes, which I love because it’s always good to switch things up. Continue reading

How many times have you adapted a favorite recipe to make it meatless? For vegetarians, this is a common practice. I adapted these spicy vegetarian chipotle quinoa sliders from my chipolte fish sliders recipe.
I identify as a pescatarian. In other words, a vegetarian who still eats fish. I post 90% vegetarian recipes, therefore, I attract more meatless-eaters with my recipes than fish-eaters. Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme was Fresh from the Pumpkin Patch! Pumpkin is a great fall ingredient that has many uses, beyond pumpkin pie! Because pumpkin is a little bit sweet, it pairs well with spices. I made these chipotle pumpkin black bean enchiladas to balance that sweet, with some heat!
I made this recipe with canned pumpkin puree. The puree is so easy to keep on hand and add to meals, but cubed roasted pumpkin would also be delicious! Continue reading
