I like to incorporate a meatless meal at least once a week. Sometimes my meatless meal is simple: oatmeal for breakfast. Other times, I go out on a limb and make a meatless dinner. It's hard breaking out of that mindset that you HAVE to have a protein and it HAS to be meat. It's… Continue reading General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables

Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
There's a gigantic tub of hummus at Costco that reels me in every time I go there. I think it's about 3 pounds of hummus inside the typical plastic container. I've found two different flavors over the last several months that I like, but the red pepper hummus is probably my favorite. I put that… Continue reading Curry Hummus Veggie Sandwiches
Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
I've been really breaking out of my shell when it comes to vegetarian/vegan meals. This recipe is not something I would have made a few years ago. I like to incorporate vegan/vegetarian meals into my diet, but this recipe is a little out there. First, you make your own bean spread (almost like a hummus… Continue reading Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens
Do you thoroughly wash your produce when you get home from the grocery store? I know I don't do it as often as I'd like. Anything that says "triple cleaned" on it I usually just throw right into the crisper drawer without a second thought. Is that bad? Probably. Have I ever gotten sick off… Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Collard Greens
Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
I'm finally, finally getting to the end of a bunch of recipes I made a few weekends ago. I try to post as many times a week as I can, but this week has been hectic. Between getting people out to our house to cut down limbs from October's ice storm, to accidentally sleeping in… Continue reading Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry
Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
I'm so glad Oklahoma is back to normal. After a two-week deep freeze, the ground is thawed and the temperature is rising. I can go back to living my normal life instead of huddling under blankets and wearing gloves inside at my desk. It's wonderful being above freezing, and something I always took for granted...… Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower & Tahini Salad
Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
The air is brisk. The salt trucks are driving up and down my street. The heater is working overdrive right now. I half-considered not unraveling myself out of my bedroom blankets this morning. Winter is here and it sucks. I haven't been outside in days. I haven't seen the sun in days. The temperature hasn't… Continue reading Hummus Ranch Veggie Wrap
Mushroom Bourguignon
Hello y'all! It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. The temperature will reach 60 degrees before the sun goes down, it's bright and sunny, and the birds are chirping. I understand most of the Eastern United States is looking at a completely different scenario right now. A lot of people are buried under feet of… Continue reading Mushroom Bourguignon
7-Layer Veggie Dip
The hardest thing to curb when you're on a diet is the afternoon snack cravings. You might be at work and those vending machines start calling your name. If you're work from home, that lingering back of potato chips on top of your fridge might start beckoning you with its silent whisper. Heck, sometimes you… Continue reading 7-Layer Veggie Dip
Taco Lentil Soup
We had a great deal of snow fall this past weekend. Oklahoma is starting to look like most northern states this winter instead of what it usually looks like: a dry an barren wasteland. I froze my tush off and sat under my bird feeder to try an snag a shot of our resident cardinal… Continue reading Taco Lentil Soup
