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

Beet burgers have been on my to-make list for a long time. I’m not a huge fan of beets, but these vegan black bean beet veggie burgers didn’t taste a thing like beets. In fact, I think these will become my new go-to burger recipe!
One thing that I love about veggie burgers is how versatile they are. You can throw in just about any veggie with some good seasonings. I had some leftover corn that I threw into these burgers, and I loved the pop of color that it added to the patty! Continue reading

The bold spices of this Moroccan chickpea carrot burger are balanced by sweet carrots. Carrots are one of the veggies I always keep on hand. In the last few weeks, all I have been able to find are whimpy, skinny, pencil sized carrots!
These small carrots are so frustrating for peeling and chopping. You have to deal with a million carrots instead of a few large ones. So instead, I found ways to use my carrots by shredding them. Continue reading
So, I might be obsessed with all things buffalo blue cheese, and these buffalo blue cheese cauliflower tacos are no exception!
Recently I made buffalo cauliflower pizza with blue cheese sauce that was outstanding! I decided to try the same idea in tacos, and it is delicious! Continue reading

It’s redux time again! This month’s theme was: Grab your nearest cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 201, 17, 217 – or any combination of the number ‘2017.’ I chose to redux Chinese Mustard Baked Tofu Sandwiches from the Moosewood cookbook.
I don’t have a large collection of cookbooks, but I do love the moosewood cookbook. The recipe I chose was from page 120 for a grilled Chinese mustard sandwich with sauted peppers and onions. Continue reading

When I first started eating more meatless meals, buffalo chicken was the thing I missed most. I tried so many recipes to find something that I could substitute, but so few of them worked out. Cauliflower, however, has been my favorite food to transform into the spicy buffalo flavor that I was missing. The flavor of cauliflower is light, which makes it perfect to lather in spicy buffalo sauce. My breaded buffalo cauliflower sandwiches are light, but have loads of flavor, so you don’t feel like you’re missing a thing! Continue reading

Do you ever try a dish at a restaurant and just know that you have to recreate it at home? Well, there is a local cafe that puts catfish poboys on their specials menu. It has everything going for it. Creamy, spicy, and salty with plenty of texture. Because it’s not on the regular menu, I had to make my own version to enjoy on a moments notice! This recipe is my take on spicy catfish poboys with creamy cajun spread. Continue reading

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

Tacos are by far one of the most awesome foods out there. No, seriously. They can be prepared in so many ways, and for so many diet preferences. Plus, they are delicious! In my avocado tostadas post I raved about tacos, and compared tostadas to the awesomeness of a taco. I love tacos so much that I have a taco pizza recipe, and a taco stuffed shells recipe. This lentil pecan tacos recipe is a traditional taco recipe, made to mimic what meat-eaters call a classic taco. Continue reading

Tacos are considered a kings food in my house. Tostadas are flat tacos, right? Well, not really. Tostada means “toasted.” It’s kind-of hard to toast a taco because all the ingredients are wrapped up inside it’s crunchy shell (or soft shell depending on your preference). Tostadas and tacos have very similar (if not the same) ingredients, therefore, we are making room for toasty tostadas at the king’s table! Especially these avocado tostadas!
