Mushroom & Pea Penne w/Chickpea Alfredo
So we’re going to round out bean week–mostly–with this final meal that actually inspired the theme this week. I’ve been looking for ways to use more beans (and less tofu) in more creative ways. You can only eat so many different bean stew type dishes before you’re ready to pull your hair out and wish…

Spicy Vegan Cajun Beans & Rice
Rice and beans. Some people hear this dish and turn their noses up at its simplicity while other, like me, think of all the ways I can make this basic meal more interesting. Will I whip up a quick Indian spice? Maybe an herb-y Mediterranean style rice and beans dish for the more relaxed vegan…

Vegan Barbecue & Broccoli Bowl
One of the hardest things for me to get over during my first year or so as living vegan, was how I thought of meals. I was so conditioned ot think of a meal, especially dinner, being protein, vegetables and starch or grain. Period. End of story. Eat up and to go to bed. But…

Quick & Easy Spicy Vegan Mushroom Orzo
One of the things I’m guilty of doing when it comes to cooking is getting stuck in a rut. Not a bad rut, but I’ll create recipes surrounding the same ingredients, like bulgur or rice, when there are tons of other grains I could be using. It’s one of the reason I am obsessed with…

The Lazy Vegan’s Totally Plant Based Buddha Bowl
Lazy moments happen to the best of us and all you can do about it is either complain about it or push through it. Personally, I prefer to do a little bit of both, mostly complain while I push through it. But that’s just me. One of my go to meals when I’m feeling lazy…

Tasty Vegan Carrot Mac
When it comes to food, I have no problem experimenting. And failing. And trying again. Call it a quirk or a superpower, just don’t call me a quitter! My most recent experiment came about because of my dislike of my vegan cheese that I’ve tried (except VioLife slices, those are super tasty) and my desire…

Which meant the next time I hit the market, I grabbed everything I would need for this spicy Chinese Sichuan dish,…
