Easy White Bean Herb & Vegetable Soup (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a very grey week so far and I’m feeling like a warm comforting soup is in order today. Well, if the recent state of grocery shelves are any indication, there are a lot of people with a lot of beans right now. Hey, I’m not complaining about it, I think it’s pretty awesome actually. Beans are an extremely healthy staple food that seem to get ignored under most circumstances. Let’s just count it as one of the positive side-effects from this crazy time, beans finally getting the appreciation they deserve. Another positive side-effect is that way more people are in their kitchens cooking instead of eating out all week. I’d say…

Harvest Time Apple & Pumpkin Chili (Vegan+GF)
Please tell me you’re week needs some delicious comfort right about now because, if so, this is exactly what you need! How do you feel about chili? To me it always seems like chili is one of those meals that doesn’t get appreciated enough. I don’t get it, it’s so homey and chock full of flavors, oh, and you can load it with so many good things like guacamole and eat it with cornbread, YUM!. Plus, it’s versatile and you can do so many things with it (Hello chili-cheese fries!), what’s not to love? I have to tell you, even within my own family chili isn’t the most popular. I mean, everyone will…

Cozy Vegetable Sweet Pea Soup (Vegan+GF)
I’m finally feeling the need to start coming up with some warm and comforting recipes now that Summer is almost over. There’s nothing like ending a chilly day with a bowl of creamy soup with bread, you know? Where I live it’s not quite cool yet, but the weather is definitely changing quickly. I thought this soup would be the perfect crossover between seasons because snap peas are a Summer veggie. This is a great soup to make if you’re like me and love cooking as seasonally as possible. So I’m pretty sure if I keep going on and on about how much I love Autumn, you’re going to stop reading anything I…

Meatless Tri-Color Quinoa Chili (V+GF)
It’s been a long time since I’ve made chili and I’m not sure what possessed me to make it on one of the hottest days of the year. Has it been hot where you live? I typically don’t have reason to complain about the temperature because it stays pretty mild but this past week has just felt so hot to me. So yeah, it’s random that I decided to make chili right now when it’s so clearly not the weather for it. But I made it anyway and that’s the point here because it turned out really good. To me, chili is one of those meals that are like “go big or go…

Traditional Ukrainian Red Borscht Soup (Vegan+GF)
Today we’re talking about borscht, have you heard of it? Haha, I have to reference a children’s moving 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 heard of this soup, it’s a traditional soup that is very common in many European countries. Honestly, I only…

Creamy Quinoa Fiesta Taco Soup (Vegan+GF)
How about a taco Thursday? So my taco Tuesdays sort of got a little side-lined during my traveling but that doesn’t mean we can’t still go Mexican today, right? So my sister and I were in Southern California for over 4 days and we just barely managed to eat Mexican food once. Okay, I know, I know, Mexican food is the thing there. People come from all over the world and know that it’s the place to get the authentic stuff. It’s just that ironically, out of a huge family that all love Mexican food, my sister and probably like it the least. For her it’s that she doesn’t enjoy spicy food much,…

Chunky Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes (Vegan+GF)
I have an exciting recipe to share with you today guys. I mean, I know it’s pretty classic but personally I tend to go through food moods or get into dinner ruts sometimes and I forget about old favorite dinner recipes from the past. That’s why I thought I’d share this anyway. Before I get into that; some totally random things about me recently. I rarely have super vivid dreams these days but if I do it’s only when I wake up ridiculously early and then manage to go back to sleep (which that is something I usually can’t do). Anyway, I had this really strange morning dream yesterday where a zombie apocalypse was taking…
