Vegetaran Black Bean Burger Veggie Burrito Filling

Yes, I have been on a quick and easy kick lately. And you could use this filling on nachos, quesadillas, enchiladas, or even over rice. I used the Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean burgers because they were left over from our cook out last weekend. They are not vegan, but you could substitute another vegan [...]

It’s slow cooker Thursday!

A great way to hide veggies from the haters! If you have a household of veggie lovers you don’t have to mince all the veggies, it’s just to allow them to disappear more in the chili.
Also if you don’t have any kidney beans, [...]

Vegan Polenta with grilled eggplant and heirloom tomato sauce

I decided to invite some people over this weekend and grill out. So that meant that we needed to get out the grill and do a trial run. This was pretty easy, though more time intensive since we use charcoal. But charcoal tastes so much better to me.

Vegetarian Slow Cooker Pumpkin White Bean Lasagna

This is a quick and dirty recipe, but if you have more time [...]

Spring Harvest Quesadilla

See, I told you I would really write this week! Even though I am a bit preoccupied with redoing my resume, I wouldn’t have time to write in my blog if I get a new job. Well, at least not during work hours… They love me here and pay me well, they just don’t have [...]

It’s hot - drink more water!

One of the tricks I have been using to cultivate these cravings is putting water in a glass pitcher in the fridge. [...]

Vegan Chocolate Orange Mousse Recipe

The perfect summer dessert and easy too! I got the idea of making a mousse with silken tofu from 101 cookbooks’ Amaretto-spiked Chocolate Mousse Recipe. I changed it to fit my taste, I love chocolate with orange.
I found the amount of chocolate in her recipe to be a little rich for me. This time [...]

Vegetarian Fried Rice

You could make this a vegan recipe buy leaving out the eggs. You should be able to find some good ones at your market that are free range and haven’t been fed any antibiotics.
On the farm tour we went on a month or so ago, we saw some true free range chickens fertilizing the fields [...]
