I've been trying to eat more vegetarian/vegan meals since meat prices are so high right now. So far, I've stuck to one meatless meal a week. This week I made tacos with all veggies and it was phenomenal. Mushrooms have always been my favorite and they're the perfect meat replacement, especially if cooked correctly. Portobello… Continue reading Roasted Mushroom Tacos with Corn Salsa

Rustic Chickpea Stew
Let's face it: beef prices are exorbitantly high. I'm being priced out of beef at an alarming rate. And the more I read about it, the more the "Big 4" are to blame: 4 processing plants that control, basically, the whole beef supply. Because of that, I've stopped buying it. Until something is changed, I… Continue reading Rustic Chickpea Stew
Basic Hummus
Sometimes people need to know the absolute basics of a recipe. How to bake a chicken. How to boil an egg. How to crisp up bacon. I get lost in making unique and extravagant recipes sometimes. I'm not an amateur home cook anymore, but there are plenty of people out there who need those basic… Continue reading Basic Hummus
Kale & Quinoa Salad
Salad is often overlooked at the Thanksgiving table. Who wants a leafy green salad when they can load up on all the carbs? Stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey rule the Thanksgiving table, there's no doubt about that. But most Thanksgivings I try to serve a salad as a starter to get everyone's palette ready. A… Continue reading Kale & Quinoa Salad
Falafel & Quinoa Bowls
I've got an extremely short week at work this week (I'm just working Monday - Wednesday) because I'm headed off for an anniversary weekend adventure with my husband. Every year we try to go somewhere new (last year was canceled, obviously, due to COVID) and this year we'll be going to Canton, TX for the… Continue reading Falafel & Quinoa Bowls
General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables
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
