Vegan Creamy White Bean Taco Chili (Gluten Free)
Every long day needs to end with a cozy comfort food meal. This creamy white bean taco chili only needs one pot and a little prep. This post is all about Creamy White Bean Taco Chili Is it just me, or is chili just one of the ultimate go-tos for comfort food? Personally, I can enjoy a classic, smoky, firehouse-style, tomato-based chili from time to time. Although, I prefer it on the mild side because I’m a spice wimp. However, when it comes to my preference I think a creamy white bean chili with a more Mexican flair is my favorite. It also wins votes in my house because pretty much my…

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…

Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff (Vegan+GF)
There really is nothing like comfort foods to get through the grey months after the holiday season is over. If you’re anything like me January is a very sad month after all the excitement of December. It’s pretty drab where I live in Northern Idaho right now. I can usually count on at least having a white blanket of snow to brighten these months that seem so long. While I don’t like having to drive in snow it does improve my mood in the Winter. This year seems determined to be fickle and throw all kinds of weather at us. Earlier this week we had the craziest wind storm. Downtown Coeur d’ Alene…

Broccoli & Cashew Pesto Pasta (Vegan+GF)
How is it already getting into September? And how is it that this year seems to be taking forever and yet flying by all at the same time?? It’s definitely a strange year and I think we can all agree it hasn’t been the easiest. Making meals at home is definitely a form of therapy for me that helps to get through hard times. I’ve especially enjoyed my time in my own kitchen since my schedule makes that a more rare thing right now than it used to be. This pesto pasta is something that I made a recently when I was craving some comfort food. Pesto is one of those foods that…

Creamy Peanut Pad Thai Noodles (Vegan+GF)
I don’t know about you but I really, really love noodle dishes and am always excited to add them to the menu for lunch or dinner. Of course, they can be pretty heavy sometimes so that’s why I love to freshen them up with lots of colorful veggies and, of course, plenty of flavors! In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been having a thing with both peanut butter and Asian foods recently. Wow, I never thought of myself as being one-track minded but maybe I was wrong. I can, however, admit to being a creature of habit and returning again and again to the same things when I find a favorite so this…

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…
