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. Like these fajitas. They’re so quick and so delicious, my two main requirements for a successful meal. Tempeh is…

It’s always delicious (the bean burrito still satisfies me sometimes) and it’s always affordable (hubby…
Loaded Quesadillas
I have to admit that I haven’t tried that many brands of meat substitutes because I don’t want to rely on imitating meat products in order to be feel “satisfied” in a vegan lifestyle. I don’t want to perpetuate the idea that you need to eat meat or meat-like substances in order to be full…
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.
