A hearty Summertime pasta salad that is chocked full of veggies and is big on flavor. I was a picky child.  I was picky about my hair.  I was picky about my clothing (apparently I hated when my socks were twisted?).  And I was most definitely extremely picky about my food. As a result, the fact [...]

This Asian Quinoa and Veggie Salad with Tempeh makes for the perfect meal for two or three or a fantastic pairing to any Summertime gathering.  Fresh veggies, protein-packed tempeh, and saucy quinoa all come together for a refreshing dish. I have gone salad crazy up in here! And no, I am not referring to the [...]

Nope... it is still not a hot dog.  But it IS a "hot dog."  Oh yes, the Carrot Hot Dog is back! When I first posted this recipe for Vegan Carrot Hot Dogs awhile back, I had absolutely no idea that it would become as popular as it has.  It is consistently my most viewed [...]

This Sweet and Sour Lentils recipe contains the perfect combination of sweetness to sourness and packs a punch with nutritious vegetables, fruit, legumes, and whole grains.

Now I am going to attempt to redeem myself and get back on track.  Even [...]

You are probably looking at this picture and thinking, "are those peas?" And guess what?  Your eyes are not failing you.  These enchiladas do, in fact, contain peas. Now before you go thinking that I am crazy (or maybe you still will or already do...), hear me out. My hometown is rather small and does [...]

Lentils?  Roasted root vegetables?  Cauliflower rice?  Barbecue sauce? Did I mention that this contains barbecue sauce? Yeah... I might have a slight obsession with every single ingredient in this hearty dish. Hungry yet?  Me too! But you are going to have to head on over to Erin's blog, Girl Gone Veggie, for this one because [...]

Berries are one of my go-to snacks.  I often incorporate strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into my breakfasts.  And berries in desserts make me oh-so happy.  But I have to be honest.  I have been longing to try to incorporate fresh berries into my main meals, and I am not just talking about eating them on the [...]
