Have you tried Korean BBQ, or gochujang sauce yet? In these Korean BBQ tempeh wraps, the spicy gochujang is balanced by cool cucumber and creamy mayo.
Gochujang sauce is spicy, which is one reason I love it. If you (or a member of your family) don’t like spicy, try using regular BBQ sauce in the skillet and personalize each wrap with spicy Korean or sweet American BBQ sauce. Continue reading

This cold dinner idea is perfect for summer. We enjoyed this cold cucumber crab noodle bowl after mowing the lawn. It filled us up without heating us up, and it only required 2 1/2 minutes of cooking!
The serving size on these bowls is on the large size. I used this meal as post-work out dinner, so lots of carbs and protein were appreciated. However, the recipe as written could be split into 3 servings for a lighter meal. Continue reading

Hands in the air if you love lasagna! Me too. But do you ever have leftover sheets of lasagna noodles? My box always seems to have just a few more than I really need for a recipe. I created this arugula pesto lasagna roll ups recipes to use up those extra noodles!
I made this recipe with 5 lasagna noodles, because that’s how many I had to use. It just so happens that I could not have fit more into a 9×9 inch pan as well. Feel free to increase the recipe and make more roll ups, just plan on using a bigger pan. Continue reading

Friends, I seem to have a thing for crazy veggie burgers! I was inspired by a local restaurant to make this pineapple jalapeno teriyaki veggie burger, and it is a treat!
I recently learned something new. Nutritional yeast is high in protein! I have always used it to add flavor to veggie burgers and other vegetarian dishes, but never realized that it was adding 8 grams of protein per tablespoon as well. Continue reading

I love to grow arugula in my garden, but the homegrown arugula is much stronger in flavor than the baby arugula you get from the store. I started making this arugula wild rice salad to tame those strong garden fresh flavors!
The wild rice helps to subdue the peppery arugula by bulking up the salad with a mild earthy flavor (which pairs quite nicely). I also add cranberries for sweetness, pecans for crunch and protein, and feta for a salty bite. Continue reading

I have a few family members that eat dairy-free. Over the holidays when we are all together, sometimes finding meals that fit into everyone’s diet is difficult. I shared this vegan mushroom stroganoff with cashew cream with my family this holiday season, and everyone enjoyed!
As a kid, mom always used to make stroganoff; it was a family favorite. Around the dinner table, we all agreed that the cashew cream made a great substitute for the sour cream in our family recipe. Continue reading
