25-Minute Thai Peanut Soba Noodle Salad (Vegan)
I’m such a fan of Asian flavors you guys. If I didn’t try to keep things interesting here I’d probably just end up sharing stir-fry recipes and sushi every single day. As it is, I think I share quite a few recipes with those flavors. This recipe is one that you might be familiar. Or, maybe it’s something you’ve never heard of and it sounds super intriguing to you. I know I did when I first heard of something like this. First of all, can we just take a second to acknowledge the double standards within cultures when it comes to food. For example, who decided that pancakes and waffles are for breakfast?…

BBQ Jackfruit Tacos + Kale Corn Slaw (Vegan+GF)
Do I really need a reason for making tacos? Yeah, I didn’t think so. I’m thinking back to when I first heard of jackfruit and simultaneously heard of it being used as sort of replacement for pulled barbecue. I was so confused about what it even was and if it could taste anything like a barbecue sandwich. It is indeed a fruit but when it’s made like this guys, it’s so convincing as meat. I even got my brother to think it was basic bbq. Recently my focus in the kitchen has really shifted to making things simple, fast, and approachable. I know there are a few places to purchase jackfruit but…

Traditional Ukrainian Red Borscht Soup (Vegan+GF)
Today we’re talking about Ukrainian red borscht, have you heard of it? It’s a European favorite, specifically in Russian and obviously Ukraine. This post is all about Ukrainian Red Borscht Haha, I have to reference a children’s movie and prove my inner kid here. If you’ve seen the Dreamworks animated movie Madagascar 3 then you might remember the Russian tiger mentioning his love for this soup. I also have a special love for this recipe because it was one of the very first ones that I shared here on my blog. Due to it being a popular post I felt it was long passed time to update it. So in case you’ve never…

One-Pan Cajun Black Beans & Rice (Vegan+GF)
There’s something so cozy and comforting about simple one-pan dishes like this. When I was growing up my Mom would make so many different meals that we loved, but it wasn’t quite as often that Dad would make dinner. When he did do the cooking thought, he would often cook simple dishes like this with beans and rice. Now I’m pretty sure those were the kind from a box mix, but we still loved when he’d make them. We all know that beans and rice are an age-old staple in almost, if not, every culture. I think that’s my favorite thing about trying different versions and flavors. It’s always surprising to…

Fresh Veggie Tempeh Rice Paper Rolls
Happy Fri-YAY! Wow, I know I say this all the time, but this week just flew by. Yesterday was a pretty crazy weather day where I live. We had some sporadic thunderstorms and really heavy rains off and on. As crazy as it might sound to you if you’re not a fan, I literally LOVE storms. I grew up where we had so many Summer thunderstorms and I know they’re terrifying to a lot of people and I understand completely. It’s just, when I was a kid my family were the weirdos that would congregate on the patio just to watch the lightning and try to spy a tornado. The area I…

Indian Yellow Masala Chickpea Curry (Vegan+GF)
This is so exciting! You’re probably like “Curry isn’t THAT exciting, chill.” Well, I am excited about this recipe but what I’m talking about its being excited because I’m just hours from leaving for my next trip. I’ll be headed to Victoria B.C. in a matter of hours. I can’t wait! But anyway, I’ve got recipe to share and because I’m in a little bit of a hurry I thought I’d keep this post fairly short.
