The Ultimate Spaghetti ...

Spaghetti Sandwich: There are two camps in the spaghetti sandwich world; those who have always wanted to do it and those who have and now live better lives.  When you are served a spaghetti dinner, you often get a slice of bread with it.  I think it’s to mop up the sauce, but us...

Quick & Easy Fried...

I’ve had fried turkey once. I was on my way back to college, sophomore year, after the Thanksgiving break and I stopped to pick up my roommate. Her parents sent us on our way, packed with some delicious fried turkey leftovers. Being the food monster that I am, I suggested we nibble...

Easy Thanksgiving Breakfast Brownies As the air turns cool and the holiday seasons descend upon us, we can’t help but think of the warm, savory flavors our traditional meals bring us. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner are events we look forward to all year long. Though I often talk...

Easy Baked Vegan Dumpin...

So I’ve been trying to put a little effort into my lunches lately, I think I am in a salad lull. We had these wonton wrappers left over from this AMAZING taco cups we made a few weeks ago. I’ll write a post on this recipe – but basically, I ordered the amazing Pampered...

How to peel a plantain ...

So, making some plantain chips this weekend – and I try to peel my plantain, you know, just as I would a banana. After a few attempts it looks like this: Plantains have a thicker skin than bananas so they don’t really peel as easy, its a bit more manual.      ...

In my last post I mentioned the Raw Alfredo I made to curb my cravings when Adam and the kids were having Chicken Alfredo. Now – here’s the recipe. Sidenote: I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to try to find a Spiralizer, but no luck. I am pretty sure I need to order this online....

Raw Marinated Kale Sala...

I love kale! It’s one of the superfoods and soo delicious - when prepped right. But when raw, kale can be bitter and a little too tough for the likings of a salad.The trick to eating raw kale is to break the kale down and get a nice tasty marinade infused into the leaves. So...

Zesty Garlic Raw Gazpac...

Wow – things have been so crazy lately, so let me first apologize for the lack of updates. From my last post, I mentioned I would be trying to focus my food intake on a high raw diet. I honestly just feel better, in a happier mood, brighter, more alert – all around, GREAT. So...

Caprese, Texas Style

A Texan should be atleast a bit self sustainable.  Haven’t you heard “Country Boy Can Survive?”  With this Texas take on the classic caprese, I use my own vegetables.  I add heat and substitute the mozzarella with a creamy goat cheese.  And I always try to get Texas...
