For this meal, I basically went to Trader Joe’s and was inspired by their vegan offerings, out of which this enchiladas recipe was born! They have an awesome vegan enchilada sauce and a vegan cheese blend that was perfect for this purpose. I also used their beef-less ground beef, some fresh veggies, black beans, and…

Tempeh Fajitas
We try to have a reasonable amount of variety in our diet, so sometimes dishes that are favorites get forgotten for a little while as we are trying new things. But then we always go back.

Spicy Black Bean Tacos
It was Cinco de Mayo this past weekend, and although we did not do anything to celebrate on the actual day, we decided to have a festive dinner this week to prolong the fiesta. Even more appropriately, it’s Taco Tuesday! Tacos are one of our repeat go-to dinners because they typically take so little time…
