  • Asian-Inspired Stuffed Sweet Peppers

    I know a dinner is a success when Preston eyes my plate midway through the meal and says, “I really hope you can’t finish all of that.” This dinner was stellar!!! One of the best things I’ve made in awhile, for sure. Preston agreed. I decided it must be that I watched about nine Rachael…

  • Coconut Red Curry Pumpkin Risotto

    The pumpkin continues!!!  I’ve had a couple serious cravings lately.  The first is Thai curries.  A few weeks ago Preston ordered some from a restaurant directly across the street from my apartment.  I’m pretty sure there’s crack in it, because ever since I stole just a few bites of that red curry, I have been dyyyyying for as much…

  • Pineapple Rice & Jerk Seasoned Lentils

    If you haven’t noticed, I loooove savory (and/or spicy) and sweet dishes.  So full of flavor!   This may be one of my favorite creations yet!   I thought it would be fun to cook rice in pineapple juice.  Well, I was right.  Fact.

  • Caramelized Shallot Rice & Tempeh Bowl

    I was watching one of Kris Carr’s amazing videos the other day (check out her blog & videos!), and she said she boils tempeh in a combo of water and tamari.  Ummmm I eat tempeh all the live-long time, but I have never boiled it. Must try.  So I did.

  • Leftover Makeover: Baked Arancini

    Got leftover risotto?  Perhaps from my last post?  🙂  It’s just never as good re-heated.  Sad fact. So here’s what to do with your leftovers.    Arancini are one of those decadently amazing foods that I had to indulge in every now and then in my pre-vegan days.  Sadly, it’s pretty much impossible to find…

  • Saffron & Peas Risotto

    I don’t really have any story behind this dish.  I just love risotto, and I make it kind of a lot.  I wanted to make sure y’all know how surprisingly easy it is to make!  Enjoy 🙂

  • Berry Coconut Brown Rice Breakfast Cereal

    This is one of my favorite and most commonly consumed breakfasts!   It’s really more of a formula than a recipe.  Any leftover whole grain + any non-dairy milk.  Microwave.  Add coconut milk + berries + nuts + shredded coconut + dried fruit + maple syrup/agave + vanilla bean/flavored extracts + chocolate chips/carob (for a…

  • Baked Sausage & Kale Rice

      This is one of those secret meals.  It tastes like it’ll make you pack on the pounds and roll into a food coma, but it’s actually full of healthy, energizing, nutrient-rich foods.   It’s also incredibly fast to prepare.  It has to bake long enough to heat up, but the actual hands-on prep time…

  • Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers

    Stuffed peppers have arrived!     I’m really loving the rice in these peppers.  I made a pesto-flavored water that I used to cook the rice instead of plain water!  Pesto flavored rice with no oil 🙂    Pretty darn good.

  • Sweet ‘n’ Spicy Coconut Wrap

    So sorry for the lack of posts lately!  Since I’m crashing at my parents’ house post-breakup, I’m very out of my element when it comes to planning and cooking recipes for the blog.  Usually, planning a menu, grocery trips, and cooking comes really easily to me.  Turns out that’s a lot harder when I don’t…
