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…

Veggie Grain Bowls with Crispy “Parm” Roasted Chickpeas & Aji Ranch (Vegan+GF)
Anyone else craving some wholesome goodness? I’ve been so inspired recently by all of the pretty and healthy bowls that everyone has been making. All of the modern, hip food bloggers are doing them. There are a bunch of different names for them; buddha bowls, nourish bowls, quinoa bowls, there’s even the smoothie bowls going on. Basically, everything is in bowls and if it’s not then you aren’t doing it right. My main goal for this recipe was to keep things really simple and I even took some optional short-cuts/cheats for my own bowls. The first step is to make the “parm” chickpeas which are way easier to make than you might think.…

Mediterranean Roasted Eggplant Dip “Baba Ganoush” (Vegan+GF)
Need a little inspiration for some Summer snacking? The weather finally got hot here and I think it’s going to stay that way. I say at least for the following months. It’s alright with me though. I know all too well that the cold will return soon enough. As you know, one of my favorite ways to take advantage of each season is to make something delicious. So if you caught my recent posts you may know that I’m doing this little self-challenge. My goal is to start expanding my normal vegetable choices to things I don’t use as much (or never). Eggplant is not something I’ve tried before but rarely, if…

Easy Nacho “Cheese” Dip (Vegan+GF)
I didn’t think it could be done…… A cheese-less cheese sauce my friends, it’s real, it’s possible, and you can easily do it for yourself. You may be familiar with this kind of thing already, or you might be thinking “What do you do you even start with to make something like this?” You ready for it? It’s actually a dip based on cashews! The ingredients are similar to what I made this mac and cheese with a while back but it’s way easier. Let me just tell you that, only a few years, ago I wasn’t familiar with this concept at all. Even then, the first time I did learn about such…

Hummus & Veggies Mediterranean Mezze Board
I’m so glad to be feeling more myself after being sick all weekend. Can we all agree on the fact that being sick just sucks on every level? Especially when you’re older because then you don’t even get to miss school as a bonus. You just get to lay around feeling guilty that you’re not doing all the things you need to. Then on top of that, I work from home, so it’s hard to not feel extra guilty when you’re work is right there. I’m not saying that there aren’t huge benefits to working from home, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. This flu virus though, or whatever it was,…

Baked Yam Fries with Sriracha Hummus (Vegan + GF)
And just like that the weekend is over. But don’t distress too much, there’s french fries! Okay, technically these are baked and they aren’t really your typical fries, but still, same difference right? Before I get into that too much, let me fill you in on some life stuff that’s come up recently. Actually, I feel like I’ve left a lot of things unmentioned about my family and personal life because, well, I think everyone can understand that hard line between cyberspace and real life. It’s hard to navigate sometimes, especially when it involves other people’s lives, you know? For example, I can’t go around announcing big news on the internet when it’s…

Throwback!: Homemade Vegan Dunkaroos (Cookies+Frosting Dip)
How about a little throwback for today? I was feeling a bit nostalgic all week long and I thought some of you might understand. Plus, it’s Friday and I wanted to share something extra fun this weekend and then I thought of dunkaroos and there was just no other option, they had to happen! Do you guys remember moon shoes and wonder balls? Oh, or betty spaghetti? Ah, the innocent days of Disney channel Xenon marathons and warhead battles in footy jammies, how I miss them sometimes. I’ve never given it much thought, but it’s kind of cool that my generation was born around the turn of the century. I mean, I only experienced…
