          One of my favorite "grains" (quinoa is technically a seed) to pair with vegetables is quinoa.  It is a complete protein, high in fiber, and altogether one of the healthiest foods that you can eat.  Whenever I cook quinoa, I generally prepare a large batch.  As a result, I am [...]

Spicy Black Bean Soup

in Other, Soups

Oh, the weather outside is FREEEEEEZING!!  I do not know what the weather is like in your area, but here in the Midwest it is downright cold!  What is the perfect cure for the frigid chills that so many of us are currently suffering from?  Why, soup, of course!           Spicy [...]

Veggie Stuffed Mushrooms

in Entrees, Other

          For those of you who know me well, you would likely never guess that I would post a recipe based on mushrooms.  I used to hate mushrooms.  It wasn't that I didn't like the taste.  In actuality, I never ate them so I didn't really know whether they tasted good [...]

          There are certain foods that I always associate with the holiday season.  One of these foods is "little smokies" sausages.  So this past November and December when I had "little smokies" on the brain, I began to wonder how I could now enjoy this seasonal dish as a vegetarian.  Then [...]

I have been totally crushing on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, lately.  I went through a span of several years where I do not think that I picked up a single PB & J sandwich.  But over the past month I have brought an old childhood favorite back into my life.  In fact, eating a [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes

in Breakfast, Other

          I have been craving pancakes for months now.  Running across a new pancake recipe somewhere in the blogging world is almost a daily occurrence.  I have bookmarked several of these recipes, but have put actually making pancakes on the back burner (no pun intended ;)).  Well, this past Sunday I [...]
