Spicy Kale Salad!

NEW MONICA! via GIPHY It's amazing the stuff I can learn on Twitter. Someone posted a thread asking about the best salad recipes and well, I love myself a good salad. I found this one that I normally would've ignored but it looked promising with some ingredients I've never tried before. YOLO, right? Introducing Spicy Kale Salad. What's different about this recipe is that there are no measurements. Seriously, I

Vegetarian side dish: Broccoli Tots

Sometimes, you're just tired of eating potatoes as a side dish. And maybe you're a bit over eating roasted or veggies. And you can only steam for so long before you turn into a personal sauna. I've wanted to make something different for a while but you know, lazy. I finally decided, okay, I'm going to make this and hopefully it won't suck. Enter broccoli tots. Now, as a warning, I do

Vegan Chilaquiles

  I decided to try something different for my vegan tastes. (For those new to the blog, I'm not vegan but I do make a lot of plant-based and vegan dishes because my body likes it). I really did like this recipe, though I thought the sodium content was a wee bit high for my taste (and I didn't use that much salt). I did make it a little more spicy

A New Twist to Your Avocado Toast

Okay, so I'll admit - I never had avocado toast. I never had any interest. While I can see the hype of it and how certain restaurants are making an absolute killing of them, I don't see how anyone can pay for it. For one, I can make it at home. And two, well, I have a hard time shelling out $10+ for something I can, well, make at home.

Oh-So Tempeh

On our quest on eating healthier and cleaner, I'm trying new foods I haven't even heard of. The risk of being healthier is sometimes taking a plunge into the unknown and trying certain foods and vegetables you wouldn't dream of eating. Why would you eat something you never heard of? Exactly, you wouldn't. Hell, for the longest time I didn't. Now I'm a bit older and a bit wiser and

These Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos Are Kinda Yum

I have to admit - I was never a fan of cauliflower. Not that it grossed me out (okay, maybe it did) but it wasn't something that was on my go-to to eat as a kid or even when I entered adulthood. Even now, I'm still kinda iffy about cauliflower despite eating it more than I ever have been. But you can always teach an old dog new tricks, right? I

Vegan Side Dish – Sautéed Red Chard

Sometimes, it's hard to eat your veggies when you simply don't have time to prepare them. While I have been at fault for buying ready-made veggie sides (and really, there's nothing wrong with that because you're still getting your vegetables), I really prefer to use fresh whenever I can. We were introduced to red chard many years ago when our then-next door neighbor had leftovers of a food delivery service

Every Day I’m Brusselin’

I'm actually about that life instead of having cute towels that I'll never actually use because they are simply for decoration. But no, I do eat my veggies and a lot of them. At least I try to: Now, I have to admit: I was never a Brussels sprouts girl. They weren't on my list of, 'Oh, how yum!' growing up. Ever since I smelled them being boiled (and trust, they

You Must Try This Vegan Curry!

Sometimes it's complicated to find a tasty homemade vegan recipe. I mean, let's face it, how many times can you fry, bake, puree, and toast tofu? However, there are always exceptions to every rule. I found this recipe and was eager to try it. I had many of the ingredients already on hand and only had to pick up a few at the grocery store. I even took numerous photos
