Food Inspo: Chipotle-like Sofritas [link to recipe]
Every Friday, we treated ourselves to Chipotle after my son’s parkour practice. A little too often, for my own liking but what’s a busy parent to do?When Chipotle started having the widespread e.Coli trouble at the end of 2015, we thought it was a good time to take a break and not a moment […]
Bulgur + Beet Burger
If there is one dinner I can count on making my family do a happy jig, it’s beet burgers. So this is just a quick little write up of the Bulgur + Beet Burger I posted a couple posts back because everyone should experience a meal that makes them do a happy dance! It’s a […]
Food Inspo: No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake with Cookie Crust [link to recipe]
This was my version of the gluten-free cake by Call Me Cupcake. I modified it a bit and made the filling with chocolate hazelnut and used an oreo-like crust with vegan Newman-O’s. It was as good as it sounds, quite the hit! Someday I plan to write out the exact steps for my modified version but […]
Food Insp: Avocado Toast and Sausage
You can’t go a day on Instagram without seeing someone’s take on the glorious avocado toast. It’s something that comes together in a pinch but feels so much fancier than the effort would otherwise imply. Toppings are endless and you can slice and fan it or mash it. But I highly recommend serving it with […]
Food Inspo: Vegan Queso and Build-Your-Own Nacho Bar [link to recipe]
One of our favorite, most often repeated meals for any occasion whether it’s hosting a crew of 10 year old boys, being snowed in during a blizzard, or just because it’s Monday – we love our nacho nights. This vegan queso by Detoxinista was one of the first vegan recipes I made and was introduced to […]
Whole Grain Beetroot + Cardamom Pancakes
This was my second year having anything worth calling a garden, but still being the novice and poor planner that I am, we got off to a late start. Add in an unexpected “harvesting” of my first seedlings by some curious paws, I almost threw in the towel. Instead I casually tossed in a few beet seeds […]
Food Inspo: Strawberry Nicecream Cupcakes
I’ll never stopped being amazed that you can throw some fruit and nuts into a food processor and end up with dessert! I used strawberry-banana nicecream as the filling part, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. For the crust I threw a big handle of nuts, it was a mixture of walnuts, almonds, and […]
Food Inspo: Roasted Seaweed Snacks
My son is a seaweed addict. I don’t get it, I don’t care much for the fishy taste, I never was a consumer of sea animals but we have to keep an eye on our seaweed stash to make sure he isn’t overdoing it. We often buy the snack packs from the grocery store for […]
Food Inspo: Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
My go-to pancake recipe is the Puffy Pillow Pancakes from PPK. But every now and then I like to mix up the flavors. With left over canned pumpkin, I mixed it in the batter along with traditional pumpkin pie spice. You may need to add a touch more flour if the pumpkin made the batter […]
