This recipe is one of my all-time favorites that is in regular rotation at my house! I serve this vegetarian chili taco salad with pickled jalapenos, and my homemade three bean chili.
If you are a taco salad purist, you will say that any salad with chili on it does not qualify as taco salad. I can’t disagree, but this salad is so fast, easy, and delicious! Maybe it shouldn’t be call taco salad, it should be called get in my belly salad! Continue reading

Tapenade (pronounced top-ah-nod) is a french dip or spread made from olives and other flavorful pairings such as capers and anchovies. I don’t stock anchovies as a pantry staple, therefore my garlic black olive tapenade is a vegan version of the classic!
I love garlic, and it pairs perfectly with the olives and capers in the tapenade. Did you know that garlic ranks number two as a highly beneficial superfood (right behind turmeric)? It has been linked to reducing/preventing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and infections (source). Continue reading
