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

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

When I was prepping this recipe for the blog, I couldn’t decide if it should be two recipes or one. In the end, I made it a single recipe for spiced turmeric tofu with coconut cilantro rice. The rice and tofu could be served separately, but they are awesome together!
I’m a huge fan of tofu, while most people are not. I don’t know why, but I have just always loved it. Even before going meatless I would seek out restaurants that had great tofu. Continue reading

Today I want to tell you about the best airplane food I’ve ever had. It was a vegan green curry, and I loved it so much, I was inspired to make my own high protein vegan thai green curry.
Usually, I don’t think much of the food they serve on airplanes. Vegetarians are stuck with mushy pasta dishes, and no other options. The last time I few, they ran out of mushy pasta, and I refused to take the chicken dish. Continue reading

I first experimented with this recipe while on a fishing trip. Does anyone else insist on cooking while on vacation? At least I plan fast and easy meals, like these quick blackened fish burrito bowls!
I love the easy prep of bowl meals, and to make this bowl even faster and easier, I used some ready-to-go ingredients. Canned black beans, frozen corn, and pre-made salsa make this dish easy! Continue reading

Beet burgers have been on my to-make list for a long time. I’m not a huge fan of beets, but these vegan black bean beet veggie burgers didn’t taste a thing like beets. In fact, I think these will become my new go-to burger recipe!
One thing that I love about veggie burgers is how versatile they are. You can throw in just about any veggie with some good seasonings. I had some leftover corn that I threw into these burgers, and I loved the pop of color that it added to the patty! Continue reading

This weekend, I challenged myself to build a meal based on what I already had at home. These peanut butter tofu banh mi bowls helped me to use up left over veggies, and I discovered a new combo that I love – peanut butter and tofu!
I love to do my grocery shopping, which might be weird, but what kind of women doesn’t like to shop?! Personally, I don’t like to shop for clothes or shoes, I like to shop for food. I guess I’m a foodie. Maybe. Continue reading

The bold spices of this Moroccan chickpea carrot burger are balanced by sweet carrots. Carrots are one of the veggies I always keep on hand. In the last few weeks, all I have been able to find are whimpy, skinny, pencil sized carrots!
These small carrots are so frustrating for peeling and chopping. You have to deal with a million carrots instead of a few large ones. So instead, I found ways to use my carrots by shredding them. Continue reading
Burritos might be my all-time favorite Mexican food. But then again, I do love fajitas! With these mushroom fajita black bean burritos, you don’t have to choose, you can enjoy them both!
Burritos are one of my go-to fast and easy dishes for busy weeknights. I rarely make fajitas at home, and tend to save them for eating out because of all the fresh veggies and chopping involved. Continue reading
