I love the crunchy texture of egg roll wrappers, and have recently been researching new filling ideas. Buffalo chicken egg rolls are popular, so naturally I had to re-do them vegetarian style! Meet baked buffalo egg rolls with tempeh!
I love the hefty serving of veggies in classic egg rolls, including cabbage and carrot . Therefore, in this recipe, I decided to keep the classic egg roll filling, but season it with spicy buffalo sauce. Continue reading

This simple kale and potato frittata has become standard lunch fair on Saturdays at my house. Frittata’s are a great clean-out-the-fridge meal, but are also special enough to excite!
I love the combination of kale and potatoes in this frittata. Potatoes make it hearty and filling, and kale adds nice color, as well as nutritional value! Really any veggies will do, but this is my favorite, and I usually have the ingredients on hand. Continue reading

This week I made these Swiss potato and spinach stuffed mushrooms. I am an odd ball that loves to menu plan, but sometimes it’s hard to find new ideas to keep the menu interesting.
Stuffed mushrooms made a great option for the menu because new filling options are endless! Almost anything can be stuffed into a mushroom. I particularly love swiss cheese and mushrooms. 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

I have been going crazy over stuffed peppers recently. The funny thing is, I didn’t use to like them. In the past, I used bell pepper sparingly in meals so the flavor wasn’t strong. I don’t know what caused the change in my taste buds, but I’m loving these Italian Lentil and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers!
I called this recipe Italian because I used marinara sauce, garlic, and basil in the filling. During my stuffed peppers craze, I have also been using salsa and authentic Mexican cheese for a southwestern variety, recipe to come! Continue reading

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

In southern Illinois, we have a vegetarian cafe that makes a mean biscuits and gravy. My husband adores their dish, so naturally, I had to replicate it. Luckily, he like my vegan biscuits and gravy better!
For my biscuits and gravy, I make a homemade tempeh sausage. This is really the star of the dish, and where all the flavor comes from. If you’re not vegan, or don’t care for meat substitutes, you still need to check out those biscuits! 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
