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…

Chocolate & Coconut Pumpkin Brownies
It’s been a while since I shared a brownie recipe hasn’t it? Well, it’s time to change that for sure. I was scrolling through some of my really old recipes the other day and realizing that I’ve never made a completely vegan brownie. I’ve tried tons of variations but I don’t think I’ve ever taken on the challenge of creating a good one before. For these I used some pumpkin for texture and to help keep them on the healthier side of things. I know, you’re probably like “How could you defile a perfectly good browine with veggies!” :O Honestly though, these might surprise you by how good they are without a ton…

Simple Nuts & Seeds Muesli Cereal
I found a new favorite thing guys! Do I say that a lot? I think I say that a lot. You’ve probably at least heard me obsess about granola right? Well, muesli is basically the close cousin of granola but it’s just a little different. The first time I heard of museli I just didn’t get it. I know for sure I didn’t even know how to say it right and I couldn’t figure out the difference between it and granola. So whats really cool about muesli is that it’s even simpler to make than granola. Granola is actually really easy so that’s saying a lot. With muesli you can choose to…

Sup, my friends? So I’ve gotta say, after a few weeks of traveling and being on the go so much it’s been really strange to try to get back to sharing recipes again.
