Recently, I was gifted a large bag of spent grains. Spent grains are the leftover grains and malts from brewing a batch of beer. Spent grain still has a lot of flavor and can be reused as flour. I used some of my spent grain to make these honey spent grain dinner rolls!
If you like to brew beer, you may find yourself with plenty of spent grains to experiment with. Simply dehydrate the grains, and grind into flour using a food processor. 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

This week, I was inspired by the farmers market to make these vegetarian quinoa stuffed poblano peppers! I love poblano peppers, but rarely use them as stuffed peppers because they are more expensive at the grocery store than bell peppers.
I found a HUGE box of poblanos at my local farmers market for only $1!! Seriously, the farmers market is the best. My peppers came home and I and stuffed them full of pantry staples to make a delicious meal! Continue reading
