Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

I am competely infatuated with these granola bars. Super easy, extremely cheap and quick to assemble, they are my latest go-to breakfast or snack. This has got to be one of the best recipes I adapted from Happy Herbivore. 2 cups organic rolled oats 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup raw honey 1/4 cup vegan […]

Coconut Lime Graham Cracker Bars

Jim went away for the weekend and when he’s gone, I always like to torture him by sending him pics of all the amazing food I’m cooking, that he’s missing out on (horrible, I know!).  He’s got a huge sweet tooth lately so I remembered this coconut lime pie recipe from “Eat, Drink & Be […]

Rainbow Black Bean Soup

Kale & Collard Green Polenta Cutlets

Just shaping things into cutlets gives them a different vibe.  They transform any veggie, bean or grain into a main dish, worthy of adding additional vegetable sides to them, just like most of America does.  Except generally the main dish is a burger and the “vegetable” is fries or onion […]

Chickpea Parmigiana with Sun-dried Tomato Sauce

Chickpea cutlets really were the greatest discovery of all time. We’re testing out all of our old chicken favorites by replacing the meat based recipes with chickpeas and using vegan cheese as a substitute as well.  These came out wonderful and although it usually grosses me out to eat things that resemble meat or poultry, […]

Rainbow Chard & Tomato Barley Risotto

I fell in love with this dish…hard. The only downside to this recipe was that I ate almost all of it in one sitting.  It’s super creamy, and I just couldn’t resist going for seconds. And thirds.  Doubling this recipe would be ideal in the future! 2 cups chopped rainbow chard 1 1/2 cups pureed […]
