Roasted Pablano Hummus (Vegan+GF)
Wow, who would have imagined we’d be in April 2020 with current conditions being what they are? Hey, but we can still have snacks so I’m making hummus and all kinds of other things so I don’t go insane. One of the most downright annoying things as a recipe creator is when the final result of a recipe looks nothing like the title. I mean, when you think of pablanos you picture that rich, dark green color right? Yeah, well when blended into a hummus the color stays basically the same as any other hummus. Now the flavor of the roasted peppers is a whole different story. With the flavor from the peppers…

Easy White Bean Herb & Vegetable Soup (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a very grey week so far and I’m feeling like a warm comforting soup is in order today. Well, if the recent state of grocery shelves are any indication, there are a lot of people with a lot of beans right now. Hey, I’m not complaining about it, I think it’s pretty awesome actually. Beans are an extremely healthy staple food that seem to get ignored under most circumstances. Let’s just count it as one of the positive side-effects from this crazy time, beans finally getting the appreciation they deserve. Another positive side-effect is that way more people are in their kitchens cooking instead of eating out all week. I’d say…

Crispy Baked Almond Crusted Tofu Sticks (Vegan+GF)
So um, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted regularly. Yep, it’s been a minute. I realize that some life updates are due because I’ve really only been active on Instagram this Summer. (If you’re just here for the recipe just scroll right on down. I promise I won’t get offended.) Eh hem, well, I decided it was a good idea to get some social interaction this season. Any bloggers out there probably understand the need for this, lol. Anyway, I’ve been working at a local restaurant in case you missed that. Also, since the town I live in is kind of a Summer tourist destination, it gets pretty crazy this time…

Sweet Hot Mustard Grilled Tofu Satay (Vegan+GF)
Guys, can you believe grill season is nearly upon us???? Well I certainly can’t. I had to do a double take this morning when I checked my calendar and realized we’re halfway through the year already. I don’t know about you but I think this is gonna be an awesome Summer and I’m excited! Everyone knows that no Summer would be complete without some great grill recipes and that’s where this one comes in. Today I’m doing something I haven’t done in a while, teaming up with a great brand. This recipe gets it’s popping flavors from Maille Mustard, which is basically your grill best friend. I specifically used the Maille Old…

Black Rice Vegetable Sushi Rolls (Vegan+GF)
What time is it? Sushi Time! To be honest, I never acquired a taste for sushi until I was in my teens. I didn’t like the fishy taste of the seaweed and I especially didn’t like idea of raw fish, which I like even less now. Yeah, you won’t find any raw fish recipes here on the blog but the good news is that you can still make some delicious varieties of sushi with just some good old vegetables. In the past I’ve done all kinds of sushi with things like sweet potato or avocado but today I wanted to keep it really simple. As for the rice, I happened to have some…

Autumn Squash Soft Pretzels (Vegan+GF)
It’s getting so close to being officially Autumn and I’m so psyched! I won’t even bother starting on how much I love this time of year because I’m afraid it’s all I’ve been talking about lately. However, I will give fair warning that I’m almost certainly going to be getting a little excited about the theme in my coming recipes. So with these pretzels, I was thinking back to a recipe for dinner rolls that I made using pumpkin. It’s a similar idea, but let’s be honest, pretzels are way more fun. I had some different squashes that I wanted to try and both of them turned out well. One was a butternut…

Asian Kale Watermelon Salad + Sesame Peanut Dressing (Vegan+GF)
I think I’ve cut about a bajillion watermelons this Summer. Not even joking, I’ve probably cut at least 100. We’ve got this little planter box out in our backyard that we’ve been using and a sort of compost pile for the moment. There are so many rinds out there that it looks like a freaking watermelon graveyard. In fact, my little sister told someone we were trying to grow watermelons (LOL). So I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of this combination before, but I’ve been so curious to see what it was like. I’m guessing that many people would find this a very strange combination and I’d have to say I understand…
