BBQ Jackfruit with Carrots and Corn Muffins
Jack fruit is kind of a vegan wonder food. It comes in a can, and when drained and shredded it resembles the texture of pulled pork, making it absolutely perfect for barbecue sauce! Make sure to buy the green jack fruit in water (not oil or brine) to get the right taste. This meal only…
Twice Cooked Risotto and Pesto Peas
Sometimes the best things are the things you make up as you go along. And some things photograph poorly but are actually delicious. This is one of those things. We had planned to have a “date night in” with dinner and a movie, and I wanted to make something different and special for the hubster….
Kale and White Beans
I don’t think I utilize frozen vegetables enough. Too often, I forget about their ease and versatility. I know that eating fresh produce means getting the most nutrients, but frozen ain’t a bad alternative. And, frozen vegetables are likely to be cheaper and obviously won’t go bad for a very long time unlike fresh produce….
Crunchwrap Supreme
Taco Bell used to be my favorite fast food restaurant, and it still is hubby’s favorite. It’s two blocks from our apartment so there are many late nights that he grabs something from “tacob” for dinner on his way home. It’s always delicious (the bean burrito still satisfies me sometimes) and it’s always affordable (hubby…
Cashew Crusted Tofu
This may as well be a Trader Joe’s website recipe because it is based on two my favorite TJ products: super firm tofu and raw cashew pieces. I am such a fan of TJ’s because they have so many great vegan products. Their super firm tofu is amazing because it saves time from the pressing…
Peanut Sauce Zucchini Noodles
A lot of us are trying to limit our refined carbohydrate, gluten, and/or processed grains intake these days, or at least I am! I am really conscious of how much added sugar I consume on a daily basis and am trying to cut back where I can. Vegans and vegetarians often have to rely on…
Chickpea Curry
If I had a “specialty,” I’d say it was this. If people come over for dinner unexpectedly, I always make this. It’s really tasty, a tiny bit impressive, and super simple. I almost always have the ingredients on hand to make this, and you should too. I am very lucky to have an amazing Indian…
Sausage and Peppers
It’s Friday night after my first week back to work after two weeks of being out of the office, and that means your home girl was not cooking anything complicated tonight! I feel like I claim that we have “busy” work weeks all the time (maybe they have become the norm, not the exception), but…
Garlic Ginger Stirfry
Here is an easy veggie Asian stir-fry for your next Chinese food craving. There are a lot of ingredients in the list below, but stay with me. This is the kind of recipe that can be improvised and feature whatever veggies you have on hand. For me, that meant using up a couple of half-used…
