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.

Kale & Spinach Vegan Chickpea Mac & Cheese (GF)
Think Vegan Chickpea Mac and Cheese can’t possibly compete with “normal” Mac? Think again. This vegan mac and cheese is easy to make, creamy, healthy, gluten free, and delicious! Wow, this pasta though! I’ve been feeling so inspired and excited by the weather warming up. I live pretty far North and the day length changes drastically throughout the year. For example, when we reach the longest day of the year the sun doesn’t set until almost 10:30 pm! This is pretty inconvenient for me in the Winter because I’ve always chosen to use natural light for my photography. This cuts my opportune working window pretty short throughout the colder seasons. Not gonna lie,…

Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Orzo Pasta Skillet
Dinner is on and it’s Roasted Red Pepper Orzo tonight! You know you’re onto something amazing when you decide to skip adding the cheese. This post is all about Roasted Red Pepper Orzo That’s right, I was planning to add a good amount of cheese to this recipe and once I’d finished making it I realized it was just not necessary. In fact, the flavor was so perfect that I didn’t want the cheese to mess it up by adding cheese to distract from it. I mean, this was such a classic case of “why fix what ain’t broke?”. So the topic of orzo is something of a humorous controversy in my house.…
