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…
Lentil Taco “Meat” / Lentil Sloppy Joe
Texture Texture Texture. I have learned a lot about texture when it comes to eating plant based. Things that I used to eat came be simulated in plant form. I made a burger out of slabs of cauliflower yesterday. What? I know. Crazy! I love testing out new recipes. I love it even more when…
Oat and Banana Cookies with Date Chocolate Sauce

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…
