We’re really getting through Summer, aren’t we? How does an Avocado Blueberry Quinoa Salad sound? This post may contain affiliate links.

This post is all about Avocado Blueberry Quinoa Salad Recipe I don’t know if it’s just here, but it’s been a super hot one where I live. In all honesty, I’m pretty over it. My family is from Tennessee where hot and humid Summers are a given, but that’s why we all loved moving to where the Summers are usually mild. Haha, every time we get together we joke about this because it’s been surprisingly…

The BEST Homemade Vegan Potstickers
I was telling my friend that I was making vegan potstickers this week and he was like, “what’s that?” How can someone not know what a potsticker is?? I don’t know but maybe I should have said “Asian dumpling”. Some people are so uncultured *rolling eyes*!!! Just kidding, but seriously, I now feel responsible to make sure there are a few less people in this world who have never tried them. This post is all about vegan potstickers So I’m very aware that some people are going to be sitting shaking their heads at me when I start saying how good these are without non-plant-based ingredients. Maybe you are one of them, but…

Vietnamese Bahn Mi Bowls (Vegan+GF)
I’m trying to figure out why our Summer here seems to have gone on vacation. The weather forecast for this week is cold and rainy even though it’s freaking July. I guess it’s better than the alternative of scorching heat, but it’s kinda depressing. What’s not depressing though, is this recipe…. Ok, before you say anything, I’m completely aware that this bowl doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. Bahn mi actually means “bread” in Vietnamese so not having bread is a kind of like missing the point and insulting this Vietnamese classic. In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t do well with rules and I just don’t feel like following any when…

Un-fried Veggie Stir-Fry Rice (Vegan+GF)
Is it finally almost over, the craziness? This year has been anything but expected and I’m sure we’re all eager to return to whatever “normal” we left behind a few months ago. On the upside, I’ve definitely been able to spend more time on the blog than I could’ve imagined. I haven’t created so many recipes in a long time. I’ve actually been trying to look at this situation in the best, most positive light. I feel very fortunate to be in a position where I can work from home during all of this. Yes, I’ve missed socializing with friends and I’ll be very happy to get that back, but this time has…

Creamy Cashew Wild Rice with Mushrooms (Vegan+GF)
Anyone else needing some serious comfort food about now? Good, me too. I’ve been pretty surprised at my taste mood recently. I would have thought that being stuck inside so much with so much time would have me craving sweet things, but I’ve been in such a savory mood. I must say the internet jokes and memes about all the quarantine snacking are cracking up but for once they’re not that relatable to me. If anything, I’ve been less into food from being home so much. I guess it’s different for everyone but I’m probably playing with food more than eating it, haha. But anyways, this recipe was something I made recently for…

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…
