When planning my menu for the Vegetarian Challenge week 3, I looked through my pantry and realized that I had approximately two pounds of potatoes leftover from week one. I needed to use them as soon as possible. I made a modified version of my Fluffy Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes. However, it was also modified to use some leftover sour cream. To make […]
My new favorite meal is this simple, creamy, spicy Cauliflower and Chickpea Masala. The spicy-creamy sauce is so good that I can’t help but eat a chunk of naan. This recipe is super easy to make, takes very little time to prepare, and keeps well in the refrigerator. It’s also great for meal preparation! This recipe is going straight into my […]

Although it’s only two days since the Vegetarian Challenge ended on Sunday, my stomach already says, “Whoa, girl! Take it easy!” You thought I had told you before not to change things so abruptly!” This high-fiber, bean-filled goodness is up for grabs. I was pleased to see that tempeh was on sale today, so I made these Sesame Tempeh Bowls. […]
Let me start by saying that I’m not an expert baker. I don’t bake very often, but I did make these banana flax muffins the other night. I was inspired by some brown bananas and decided to play around with them in my kitchen. The batter is made with a lot of mashed bananas. It creates soft, sweet muffins that […]

It needs to be easy, fast, light and super tasty. This super tasty steamed […]
