This is my go-to recipe for breakfast (in addition to a morning smoothie which I usually have while cooking pancakes).

I think I have been creating these all along prior to the term “Buddha Bowl” becoming popular. This is my second “go to” option when trying to determine what to eat next. My first is plant-based Tex-Mex meals. (I live in Texas y’all!) The Buddha Bowl I prepared today uses quinoa as the base! I […]

This was really yummy. The texture of the eggplant mixed with diced tomatoes was right on target in this marinara sauce. I made the sauce in my InstantPot (love that appliance). I cut the eggplant into cubes and just added it to the pot along with tomatoes and other seasonings and voila! I was done… […]

Black Bean Corn Tortilla Tacos (Plant-Based, Vegan)

snhector

I usually cook a large batch of beans and freeze whatever I don’t use immediately. So, for this recipe, the only ingredient that I had to make was the “Not-So” Cheese Sauce that I found in the Vitamix recipe book. If you have the opportunity to purchase a Vitamix you should definitely do so. You […]
