When I get out my charcoal grill, I don’t like to go back and forth between the house and the grill. Instead, I just cook everything on the grill. In this grilled shrimp tostadas recipe, you will grill both the shrimp and the corn tortillas to make the crispy tostada shell.
I find grilling shrimp on a stick much easier than one-by-one, and kabob sticks take up much less space than a grilling basket when it comes to storage. Continue reading

The first time I tried to make sushi with short grained brown rice, the rolls completely fell apart. I ended up eating the recipe as a sushi bowl, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, so I developed this imitation crab sushi bowls recipe.
I really love sushi rolls, and I do make them at home. You can see an oooold sushi recipe post here. One of the first on the blog, I had so much to learn back then! Continue reading

Calling all avocado fans!! If you’re like me, you buy avocados in the bag to the get the best deal. This also means, that you have a lot of avocado to use. This cilantro avocado pesto pasta recipe is so good, I ate it everyday last week to use up my bag of buttery avocado fruits!
In addition to avocados, I have totally fallen in love with chickpea pasta. You could use any pasta in this recipe, but using chickpea pasta gives you a boost of protein, as well as fiber. Two essentials that you need in your diet, that usually wouldn’t be high in a basic pasta dish. Continue reading

One of my favorite food items during winter is sprouts! They are easy to grow on your own when there isn’t much available for fresh, local produce. I recommend using sprouts in sandwiches and wraps, like this smoked tofu and sprouts sandwich!
Someday soon I will be putting together a post on how to grow your own sprouts at home. It is so easy, anyone can do it. It does take 5-7 days before you can harvest, but the wait is totally worth it! Continue reading

Let’s be completely honest today. I didn’t make these avocado breakfast tostadas for breakfast. Fried eggs are perfect for any time of the day, and made a speedy lunch this last weekend when I was busy!
I love it when you can pull leftover ingredients from the fridge and pantry and have the perfect amount for a delicious meal. I had three leftover corn tortillas and some cilantro from this black bean taco recipe with corn radish salsa! Continue reading

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

Ever since my trip to Puerto Rico in 2014, I have been in love with plantains. While there, I had tostones with a garlic vinaigrette that were fantastic. Someday I will share my recreation of that recipe too. This is only the second recipe I have shared on the blog using plantains. The first was my plantain black bean rice bowls with cilantro pesto. This time a transformed the plantain into veggie burgers. These Jamaican jerk plantain veggie burgers are loaded with flavor. Continue reading

Every spring there seems to be a desire for quick and easy meals. When the weather warms, spending your free hours in the kitchen is not the goal. Perhaps working near the stove or oven is no longer appealing because of the warming temperatures. Maybe you just want to get outside and enjoy the fresh air! Guacamole black bean burritos are quick, easily adapted, and addicting! 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!

This recipe is my favorite. I mean it, I am so excited to share this recipe. Guacamole is something that should be easy to make. And this recipe is delicious as well. I made this recipe by testing time and time again, until I came up with the perfect combination. I stock all the ingredients, except the avocado, in my pantry so I can whip it up at any time!
