It has been a hot minute since posting. Of course, life always keeps going, and I had to keep up. Anyway, I’m back in the midst of a hot Texas summer. Smoothie bowls have been one way that I have kept cool this season. This one in particular has been my favorite as of late.… Continue reading Tropical Mango Smoothie Bowl
This recipe is so simple, but it is unbelievably delicious. I think it’s the vinegar. It takes it to the next level. This recipe is perfect on tostadas, which you can find here, or in tacos (which is basically the same thing but with a floppy tortilla). Let me know how you like it! Ingredients… Continue reading Sweet Potato Mash
Y’all. That red lentil curry recipe yields a lot of food. I have to figure out what I am going to do with my leftovers! This is how I, as an American, can take nearly any recipe and turn it into burger potential. These could have easily have been named “curry patties” if I had… Continue reading Curry Balls
In my life, I have come across many phenomenal recipes for black beans, having grown up in Southern California and now living in Texas. This one I would say is a good contender. It has the flavor profile you’d expect, and it’s practically fool-proof in its simplicity. Do y’all prepare your beans differently? Let me… Continue reading Tex-Mex Black Beans

Have no fear! This recipe will take your leftovers and transform them into a new creation! This recipe also uses a… Continue reading Masala Patties with Tamarind Chutney
This recipe follows the template that I used for my chili, but I used all chickpeas and different spices. That’s basically the only difference. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated, people. Also, it soothes my analytical, engineering mind to follow a formula for recipe development. Anyway, it was absolutely delicious. Try it for yourself! Note:… Continue reading Chana Masala
This one was a complete experiment that resulted in a failed attempt to make a bean spread for crackers. That’s perfectly ok, though, because I got this lovely recipe from it! Try it. Love it. Tell me what you think! Note: this recipe uses a food processor. If one is not available for your use,… Continue reading Mediterranean Bean Balls
Spring is here! The flowers are blooming, the butterflies are pollinating, and my blender is making smoothies. It’s the nature of things. Anyway, I can’t believe I haven’t tried this combo yet and shared it! It’s absolutely incredible. If you’re looking for antioxidants for breakfast (or dessert), this is the bowl for you! Tell me… Continue reading Chocolate Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Y’all know I will add an unnecessary ingredient to make my food look dazzling. This is where the beet comes in. It doesn’t add any taste except for a subtle, earthy tone underneath the other flavors, but under all the toppings it’s basically unnoticeable. This recipe uses ingredients that were in my fridge at the… Continue reading Beet Burgers
So you just got home from a long day of doing things and you don’t want to putz around the kitchen. There’s not really anything in the fridge that can make a meal. You have a piece of bell pepper, half a cucumber, some carrots, and an avocado. Fear not! This bowl will utilize all… Continue reading Sushi Bowl
