Holiday Butternut Pecan Salad with Berry Vinaigrette

Posted on November 21, 2017 | 12 comments

In early September, I visited a small Italian cafe for lunch. They had a pumpkin ravioli and butternut squash salad on special that I tried and loved! The salad came topped with cold ravioli, and a mixed berry vinaigrette on the side. I loved all the fall flavors, and the colors reminded me of the holidays. This months recipe redux theme was to create “naturally-colored/naturally-dyed holiday fare.” When I recreated this holiday butternut pecan salad with berry vinaigrette, I knew it was perfect for the redux!

Homemade Teriyaki Baked Tofu

Posted on November 17, 2017 | 10 comments

Have you ever bought baked tofu at the store? It’s a handy product that is seasoned, cooked, and ready to throw into any dish. When I was first transitioning from being an omnivore to vegetarian, I found that I loved tofu! This is not the case for most people, they find the texture off-putting, so yes, I know I’m weird. I started experimenting with all kinds of ways to enjoy tofu (including this smoked tofu recipe). This homemade teriyaki baked tofu makes weeknight dinners even faster! Continue reading →

Fried Avocado Black Bean Tacos

Posted on November 14, 2017 | 8 comments

Avocado’s have been a little pricey here recently. I have a serious love for avocados, so when I saw them on sale last week, I couldn’t resist! I am usually good about not buying things I don’t have a plan for (because if I don’t have a plan, they don’t get used). Therefore, I set out to make a plan for the avo’s I had brought home. I had some leftover tortillas, so tacos were the obvious choice. When I googled avocado tacos, I couldn’t believe that I had never heard of this deliciousness! Fried avocado black bean tacos are my favorite new way to enjoy my beloved avocado! Continue reading →

Chipotle Butternut Squash Queso

Posted on November 7, 2017 | 20 comments

During football season, I am always challenged to come up with indulgent, cheesy finger foods that have a healthy twist. I find that trying to make a snack healthy by reducing fat or other indulgent flavors usually makes it less exciting. Instead I focus on adding something to the dish to make it more nutritious. I use creamy butternut squash in this queso dip to add body and color, and mix in spicy chipotles and melty cheese to make it fun! Try my chipotle butternut squash queso for your next game day!

Chili & Cheddar Loaded Baked Potatoes

Posted on October 31, 2017 | 6 comments

These chili & cheddar loaded baked potatoes are a total comfort food classic for me. When ever I make chili, I always make a huge batch so there are plenty of leftovers for other meals. This is my favorite chili recipe, and the recipe I used for the photos. I also love white chili, has anyone ever tried white chili over a potato? I am crazy enough I might just have to try it, and report back! Continue reading →

Creamy Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas

Posted on October 27, 2017 | 6 comments

This week has been a very busy week for me (stories to come!), and has left me with little time to do my usual menu planning. When dinner time came around the other night, I was scrounging through the fridge trying to come up with a plan. I always start by looking at what vegetables I have, because I try to center my eating habits around getting plenty of veggies. When I realized the best combo I had was spinach and artichoke, all I needed was cheese and a delivery system to make a meal. I used my leftover spinach tortillas from my Zombie Burritos recipe to make these creamy spinach artichoke quesadillas! Continue reading →

Breaded Buffalo Cauliflower Sandwiches

Posted on October 24, 2017 | 6 comments

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 →

Roasted Broccoli Steaks and Chickpeas with Yogurt Sauce

Posted on October 21, 2017 | 6 comments

This months recipe redux theme was to create a gut-healthy meal. When I think of gut health, I think of two things: fiber and probiotics. I made roasted broccoli steaks and chickpeas with yogurt sauce. Yogurt is my favorite food-based probiotic, and it makes a delicious, creamy sauce. I choose broccoli and chickpeas because they have two different types of fiber that are both great for gut health- more on this later. Finally, to make it a full meal, I plated the roasted broccoli and chickpeas over barley! Continue reading →
