Simple Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
There are nights when you crave a cozy soup……and then there are times when you just need a burger! I’ve really been into simplifying things recently. I mean, life is complicated enough without adding to it, you know? These veggie burgers definitely fit the bill because they’re about as basic as it gets. They’re great for making ahead for the week as well. I remember the first time I heard of a veggie burger as a kid and the first thing I thought of was a regular burger piled with vegetables. When I found out that you could make burgers out of things like squash, beans, and other vegetables I…

Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
It’s long past time for some burgers. I’m writing this post from Montana where I’m camping with my sis. I say “camping” because we’re staying in a dry cabin but to me that’s pretty close to camping. We had to bring basically everything we needed aside from a shelter. That means bedding, towels, etc. We’re going to be hiking to some waterfalls tomorrow and maybe rafting down the river. I’m so excited to share it all but for now I’m sharing a recent recipe while I continue gathering good content from this trip. So did you know you could turn a plain old mushroom into something nearly unrecognizable? And…

Crunchy Pinto Bean Salad Sandwich (Vegan+GF)
So another week begins. I hope you had a great weekend. We went to see the new Jurassic World movie and I really liked it. Then I drove up to Sandpoint yesterday with my sister and we hiked to Snow Creek Falls and took lots of photos and video so I’ll be sharing that soon. I also did some recipe testing over the weekend. Tell me, were you a fan of tuna, egg, or chicken salad sandwiches as a kid? Did you ever consider what it might be like to star a bean in this recipe? I really hadn’t so that’s why I was extremely surprised at how good it…

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto & Havarti Grilled Cheese
Who else is excited about this Summer? I’m already feeling the need to switch out the wardrobe from jackets and boots so I can dig out all the shorts and flip-flops. Maybe this is just me, but there’s just something so liberating about not having to layer up to walk outside. It’s like more of the world opens up during the warmer seasons. I love it. Also, it sounds like my family is going to be having lots of visitors through the Summer. We’ve got plans with both old and new friends so it’s going to be a really busy season of barbecues, picnics, and sports. Oh, and…

Sourdough Caprese BLAT Sandwiches + Roasted Garlic Coconut Butter (Vegan)
BLTs, how do you feel about them? If you just answered that they’re the greatest invention ever then (ding, ding ding, give ’em a prize!!!) I think we can still be friends. Phew, I was a little bit worried for a sec. Now, to be completely honest, I was never a fan of actual bacon, even before I went plant-based. However, when I first tried coconut bacon I immediately fell in love with it. So is it weird to imagine inanimate objects like sandwiches having their own personality? I think if a BLT had a personality it’d be all self-assured and possibly even a bit arrogant about itself. I mean…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vegan)
Okay, does anyone remember me mentioning that idea I had a while ago? When I first started this blog I had this idea to make it a project solely dedicated to chocolate chip cookies. All of the things that can be made with them or inspired by them. At the time it was more of a joke then anything else, but now I am thinking it should seriously have been considered as a possibility. One of the only negatives to the idea was that I couldn’t help feeling like it would make me and all of my cookie eaters get tired of them, and that would be unspeakably tragic. Obviously…

Caribbean Jerk Millet Burgers with Pineapple Guacamole (Vegan)
Happy fresh new week guys! How do you feel about making this meatless Monday? Just a suggestion, especially if you really enjoy trying new flavors. How about a really awesome burger that will have you forgetting that it’s completely vegan? Speaking of freezer, the weather has taken a dive and become winter all of the sudden. A few days ago I was trying to type something out and I couldn’t figure out why my fingers were so stiff. Then I realized that they were almost numb with cold and had a total light bulb slash smack-yourself-on-the-forehead moment because it took me so long to realize. I kept thinking what…
