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 recipe uses ingredients that were in my fridge at the… Continue reading Beet Burgers

Y’all. This Shepherd’s Pie. The spices, herbs, and flavors added to this dish create a rich, well-rounded taste without any icky ingredients! The secret is the tamari. Paired with the mushrooms, this makes the umami flavor that rounds out the dish. Try it. Love it. Tell me what you think! Also, I used the same… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie
This is my second try at making stuffing this season and boy am I glad I gave it another shot! My first attempt was not good, but I learned a lot. This time I added mushrooms and chopped everything into small, equal-sized pieces, which helped the texture of the dish a ton! I have to… Continue reading Thanksgiving Stuffing
