There are few things I like doing more on the weekend than cooking. It's my time to create recipes, put a little extra into what I'm making, as well as prepping my food for the week! Since it's been extremely cold in Texas, I've been craving more hot breakfasts and less cold smoothies. Enter my … Continue reading Weekend Breakfast Bowl
This is another recipe that came about with me not really having a plan of what I'll be making, but decided to use what I had in my fridge at the time. Once I started cooking with my trusty ingredients that I never am without (mushrooms, onions and some sort of green), the rest just … Continue reading Tumeric Saffron Chickpea Bowl
This dish came about because I had eaten all my lunch meals for the week early, as I ended up eating the same thing for lunch and dinner two days in row. When I came home on Wednesday night, I realized I didn't have any lunches to bring to work with me for Thursday and … Continue reading Quinoa with Broccoli and Butternut Squash
Is this really a recipe? I don't know, but I'm going to say it is. The reason why I say this is because this is the simplest vegan spaghetti dish you can make, as you are basically preparing the noodles. The rest of the ingredients you can buy from the store and put together already … Continue reading Spaghetti and Meatballs – Vegan and Gluten Free
Pesto is just a great tasting dish. I've made various versions of pesto before, but I thought to try my hand at a better version that I could make and eat with noodles, but that can also stand on its own. Enter vegan kale pesto, making this dish perfect for a noodle side, dip or … Continue reading Kale Pesto with Gluten Free Macaroni
Yes, it's me with another quinoa dish, I just can't stop! Once I find a mixture or base dish that I really love, e.g. quinoa and sauteed mushrooms/onions, then building from that makes it so much easier. Of course, if you don't like mushrooms (or onions), you can always substitute for something else. The addition … Continue reading Quinoa, Sauteed Veggies and Walnuts
Recently I made a mistake online purchase for oats. I thought I was buying one single tub of oats for our office. Turns out it was several tubs in one, and I ended up with 5 pounds of oats. What are you supposed to do with 5 pounds of oats? Well, start making cookies, for … Continue reading Oatmeal Coconut Pecan Cookies
When I lived in Mexico, I loved to eat a tasty treat that sort of tasted like sweet popcorn, except the grains were tiny and had no kernel. Fast forward 16 years later, and I'm reading online about how this grain called amaranth is so good for you, and it's a great vegan staple to … Continue reading Mexican Amaranth Candy
Let me start this off by saying that if ANYONE tells you "<insert name> seed/nut milk doesn't taste good, don't try it," do not listen. I heard from a friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) that they once tried making pumpkin seed milk, it tasted horrible and I should never try it. Naturally, this … Continue reading Pumpkin Seed Milk
Ever since finding out that roasting portobello mushrooms with tamari sauce is basically the best thing ever, I've been on a huge portobello kick, roasting and mixing with all sorts of things. Of course, it was only a matter of time before I ended up adding them to one of my quinoa bowl mixtures, so...this … Continue reading Quinoa bowl with Portobello, Kale and Sweet Potato
