Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (Oil Free)

Much of what I do on the weekends is use whatever I have in my kitchen. I had a bunch of leftover roasted veggies, lettuce on its last leg, garlic (because we do blue apron. SO MUCH garlic), and peppers that needed to be consumed. I decided I was going to make myself a wrap…

In my house we loves pickles. I have for all the time I can remember loved anything with dill. We have a rule in our house for our friends. If you hang out at our house you can have free range on whatever is in our fridge and cabinets. Friends walk in and go straight…

Chocolate Minty Mug Cake

Meals in mugs fascinate me. Probably because I work with college students who don’t always have access to a kitchen. This is an adaption to a recipe I had found. I am not a huge fan of using a microwave on a regular basis, but sometimes it is all people have. The microwave make this quick…

Simple Banana Bread

I have tried maybe 6 or so recipes for banana bread over the years. As my lifestyle has changed to being plant based I have learned to make changes to recipes so I can still use them. After eating this version of banana bread people always ask for the recipe. It really is that good. It is…

BBQ Cauliflower Burger Pinterest Success

I have been experimenting with cauliflower recipes. I find it very interesting the amount of plant based things you can make using cauliflower. Many have probably seen making pizza crust using cauliflower. It is really good. I just struggle with the effort needed to squeeze out all the water from the steam cauliflower. Helps build…

Snow Day Snow Cones

I grew up with snow cones, Rita’s Water Ice, slushies, and icees. I have always loved a flavored syrup with some ice. I would take that over ice cream any day. Sadly I have no idea how the syrup is made for these creations. I do know that you can make your own for your…

Quick Food(s)

I think we all get to the point in a day where we just are too tired, annoyed, busy…. Many of those times we let what we eat be touched by those feelings or realities. I do believe you can be too busy or caught up to eat. When I get into a craft project….

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Black bean and sweet potato enchiladas from @thepurplecarrotct The filling tasted delish because I had to taste it before rolling them up. I also added cinnamon to sweet potato while they were roasting. Tastes yummy. My little soap box moment. I have no professional backing when it comes to eats. I just know the success…
