Tempeh BBQ Baked Beans

Considering I’ve never had any version of baked beans in my entire LIFE, I found it rather odd that I had a serious craving for them yesterday. The universe was calling to me. I needed to make these beans. So without any real clue as to how to make them, or how they were supposed to […]

Tomato & Onion Chickpea Farinata

Cilantro Corn & Carrot Slaw (and why I need to live in San Diego)

Black Bean & Potato Enchilidas

I’m pretty sure Arikka inspired me on this one. She’s always talking about these tater tot burritos she makes for quick easy dinners and they sound unreal. I admire her ability to make yummy, fast and simple meals out of minimal ingredients. I feel like sometimes I try too hard, use too many ingredients and go WAY […]
