Black Bean Salad

When the weather shows signs of warming up I pretty much immediately start craving cold foods and more snack-like meals. I also love entertaining, so anything I can toss together that is simple and quick for a room full of people is my kind of meal! This black bean salad is perfect for all of your summertime needs. I served it with Siete tortilla chips, but you could use this as a topping for burritos, tacos, salads, or use it as a dip like I did!

For the longest time I didn’t understand people who ate savory breakfasts. I was ALWAYS a sweet breakfast or more fruit based kind of person. This is where crepes come in.

Once upon a time there was a cafe in OKC that served the absolute BEST quinoa chorizo tacos. After they closed down I knew I had to recreate one of my favorite weekend brunch traditions. While my version is not 100% exact to theirs, it is definitely less oil-filled and on the healthier (but still delicious!) side.

Why granola? Because “good” store-bought granola is still LOADED with sugar and it’s also like $12 for a very small bag which I find ridiculous.

When I was living in Amsterdam several years ago and working as a raw food chef, banoffee pie or banoffee parfaits were on the rage. I pretty much love anything with banana, so I was a huge fan!

Mac & Peas
Mac & Peas

When I was growing up mac & cheese was a weekly staple, if not more. Since going plant-based 9ish years ago, I think I’ve finally come to accept that NO vegan version of mac and cheese is truly ever going to taste “the same,” but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as delicious!

With warmer days upon us, I have been seriously craving fresh herbs like mint and dill. It sounds kind of strange to put them together in this salad, but it is light, crisp, and refreshing.

Sometimes, you just need chocolate. And by you, I mean me. I pretty much always have a weakness for chocolate, so if I can find a way to sneak it into my breakfast smoothie I am ALL IN.
