Chinese five spice powder is a delicious blend of warm spices, including things like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg! I love pairing these warming flavors with bright citrus in this five spice chickpea clementine buddha bowl!
Before we move on, lets talk about the buddah bowl. It has become a popular name for vegetarian or vegan dish served in a single bowl. Usually you see a combination of whole grains, plant based proteins, veggies, and sometimes fruit! Continue reading

Have you heard of the Korean BBQ sauce, gochujang? I recently tried in on my Bi Bim Bop Spaghetti Squash Bowls and loved the sweet and spicy tangy sauce. This recipe for Korean BBQ veggie burgers uses a homemade gochujang sauce!
Do you ever feel like your fridge is just loaded with condiments? Maybe something you needed for a single recipe that you have never used again? I hate throwing out half used jars of this and that because they are long expired in the back of the fridge. Continue reading

Who else is ready for football playoffs?! For me, half the fun of football is the food and drink, so this year I plan to make these buffalo quinoa chickpea burgers, topped with blue cheese!
I don’t make regular veggie burgers. For me, vegetables don’t have the texture, or the taste that I remember in a real burger. I still love the format, but try to make it taste like something different. Continue reading

The first time I made this slow cooker southwest sweet potato soup, I was trying to make a vegetarian taco soup. This soup did not taste like tacos to me, but I loved the flavors, so I reinvented it with a new name.
Peppers and onions make the base for this soup. They are the most important ingredients because they give the broth all of its flavor. Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme was Fresh from the Pumpkin Patch! Pumpkin is a great fall ingredient that has many uses, beyond pumpkin pie! Because pumpkin is a little bit sweet, it pairs well with spices. I made these chipotle pumpkin black bean enchiladas to balance that sweet, with some heat!
I made this recipe with canned pumpkin puree. The puree is so easy to keep on hand and add to meals, but cubed roasted pumpkin would also be delicious! Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme is Kids that Cook. The thing I remember cooking most as a child was tortillas. Mom would make a fresh batch every time we had tacos, and it was my job to flip them in the skillet. These vegetarian taco lunch wraps remind me of those tacos nights as a kid!
I didn’t like to have much in my tacos as a kid. Plain tacos was always my request. We always had homemade refried beans to go with our homemade tortillas, and I created this taco lunch wrap based on those 2 ingredients. Continue reading

The humble tortilla can be used in so many delicious ways, it is one of my favorite starting points for meal planning ideas! This week, I decided it was time to try homemade vegetarian chimichangas, so I made jackfruit mushroom baked chimichangas!
One package of tortillas can make many different types of meals, without loading up your grocery list. I also made these burritos with my tortillas, and both meals were a hit! Continue reading

This month, the recipe redux asked us for our favorite healthy recipe celebrating stone fruits! Peaches are actually my second favorite stone fruit, behind cherries, and I love them in these barbecue black bean tacos with peach salsa!
Peaches pair perfectly with other fresh salsa ingredients, like acidic tomatoes, and bright cilantro. Their sweetness really helps to balance the salsa, which is the star of this dish! Continue reading

Sometimes you see a recipe that is so intriguing and different, that you just have to try it! That was me when I saw a recipe for Burmese ginger salad. I put my own twists on it and called my version a Burmese pickled ginger and fried garlic salad!
The dressing on this salad is made with fish sauce, and it is really the star of this dish! I primarily eat vegetarian, so sorry to my vegetarian readers, but this recipe was just not the same without the fish sauce! Continue reading
