Hungry for chili? For the last few months, I’ve been trying to incorporate more whole food, plant-based ingredients into my cooking. Now people, I already cook plant-based, vegan meals–for practically every meal. But let’s face it. I love vegan junk food–processed vegan meats, cheeses, and pastries are my absolute fav. BUT sometimes, all those delicious…
Tangy Black Bean Soup
Sometimes ya just need a big ol’ bowl of soup. Today is one of those days. It’s been raining for hours, and I love it. Unlike usual Tennessee summers, ours has been a very dry one. I think our last good rain was over a week ago. (In case you’re wondering, that isn’t very much…
Lentil Lettuce Tacos
Is it just me, or is there something crazily addicting about lettuce? I’m not talking about just any lettuce. I mean the crunchy, crispy, almost sweet, makes-you-feel-amazing, and maybe-it’s-Romaine lettuce. If your name is Jonathan (a.k.a.

What I love most about this breakfast entree is the fact that it is so easy to…
Carob Peanut Butter Pudding
Hello Friends! Today, I bring you what is possibly one of my very favorite recipes yet. Carob peanut butter pudding with coconut whipped cream. Some of you may be thinking that nothing good can come out of carob. I know, I know…it just doesn’t have the same flavor as chocolate. But, really, this pudding is…
Spinach Avocado Stuffed Portobellos
The other day, as I was searching the web for good food ideas (who doesn’t??), I recruited the help of some of you on facebook for Valentine’s Day menu options. One of you, Stephanie, suggested stuffed portobello mushrooms (Thanks, Stephanie!!). I really don’t think I’ve ever eaten stuffed portobello mushrooms, but it sounded tasty…
