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…

Sweet Potato Black Bean Street Tacos (Vegan)
It’s Taco Tuesday peeps! The cool thing is that this recipe could also double as a meatless Monday meal too! Yeah, I think it’s about time for another taco recipe around here. Considering how big on tacos my family is it’s pretty crazy that I haven’t made them very often recently. I’m planning to make up for it by doing tacos at least once every other week and hopefully even sharing a new version with you guys each time. So technically I might have made these on a Thursday, photographed them on a Friday, and written this post on a Sunday but you guys are getting them on Tuesday so that’s what…

Chimichurri Mushroom Tacos with Cilantro Pineapple Slaw
Happy Taco Friday! -> I know that’s not exactly a thing but it should be a thing. Actually, scratch that. Honestly, I mean don’t you think the very notion of confining tacos to a single day is preposterous?? I certainly do. Here’s to taco freedom for the world! Who’s with me? On a quick side note (feel free to skip over this), has everyone seen Beauty and the Beast already except me? I’ve been so excited to see it since I first found out about it and I was going to go with some of my family but then some things came up. My parents and some of my sibs needed to go to…

Asian Tempeh Tacos with Black Sesame Slaw
I thought I’d try starting off the week with something on the savory side since typically I seem to lean towards the sweets on Mondays. I’m trying to start off the year being good. (Don’t worry though, I’ve got plenty of sugar on the horizon 😉 ) Is it just me or does it feel like we’ve been in this new year for way longer than we really have? It’s barely been a week but somehow it seems more like a month to me. So what’s been going on in your world? To give a little bit of real life updates on my life, it’s been fairly the same as always. Our house is…

Layered Fiesta Taco Bowls with Vegan “Bacon” Bits
I’ve got a question to ask, am I the only one who had never even heard of “bacon” made from plants until recently! Well if not, it’s totally a thing guys! Facon exists!!! At first I was averse to the whole idea and completely on team You can’t even go there! Even as a young kid I never liked bacon so I was pretty skeptical. That is, of course, until I tried the stuff. Omg peeps, it’s insane! So about these bowls, I know “bacon” may not be the most typical thing to add to your tacos, or in this case taco bowls, but I was surprised by how much it works. A few bites of these…

Green Pepper, Tofu, & Spanish Barley Tacos (Vegan+GF)
Can I have a show of hands, who likes TACOS?!! In my house, we do tacos a lot, at least 3 or 4 times a month. Once in a while, I will change up the mix, as is the case here. Some of my family are purists and don’t like it when I mess with his taco ingredients, but my Mom on the other hand loves it when I add variety to the mix. Barley is a great substitute for rice, and if you ask me has more health benefits, although I do love my rice. Along with the other simple ingredients going into these tacos, I also did a little bit of…
