Vegan Taquitos A delicious tempeh, lentil, brown rice mixture with rich cheese sauce fills these delicious taquitos. We topped them with salsa and homemade dairy free sour cream but you can have them with whatever toppings you like! A request to create a vegan version of taquitos.....Here it is! I try to accommodate as many recipe requests as I can, sometimes I can do it quickly and other times it takes me awhile. This recipe is so very simple and yet my family absolutely LOVED these! Even K ...
I Can't Eat Healthy......I Love To Go Out To Eat! Yes you Can! Last week I attended a Women's Conference Thursday from 8am to 10:30 pm and Friday 8am to 5:30 pm. I did not plan ahead, I attended determined to prove that you can find food anywhere you go! The Campus we were on had a steakhouse style restaurant but they were ONLY serving a buffet style because of the 20,000 women or so attending the conference....it needed to be fast. So what is a plant-based eater to do? It was quite simple...
Whole Grain Vegan Cake Recipes in Vanilla Chocolate The Smore Cupcake I generally post Gluten Free recipes but today I have two delicious whole wheat cake recipes for my non-gluten free readers! I know I just recently posted about my birthday......but interestingly enough three days after my birthday is my sons birthday! These cupcakes were a hit with family friends. I even took them to the family party on Sunday and my whole extended family enjoyed these fun cupcakes! ****Warning: These...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME Yesterday was my birthday........no I'm not going to tell you how old I am......let's just say I am 29.95+ tax and shipping :-) I committed one of the great weight loss mistakes yesterday.....confession time! I knew I would be going out to lunch and dinner and was worried that within my tiny little calorie requirements I would not be able to fit all that food in....so I decided to have a low/cal high nutrient breakfast and 'Save' my calories for later. I did create an AM...
Easter Morning Breakfast...... Vegan 'Eggs' Benedict Hubby and the kids absolutely LOVED this Hearty Vegan version of Eggs Benedict! It took quite a bit of creativity to come up with the 'egg' part. I wouldn't say that it perfectly mimics the taste or texture of eggs because it really doesn't but boy does it have a fantastic flavor all its own! This was a very involved process so I would recommend saving this one for special occasions when you really want to wow the family with your culinary sk...
Kid Friendly.......Mom Approved Gluten Free Vegan 'Chicken' Fingers and Honey Mustard Sauce This delicious Kid Friendly meal was a HUGE hit with my whole family! The kids were thrilled when they saw the yummy breaded 'chicken' fingers and macaroni and cheese. They were so excited, thanking me for making them an 'unhealthy' meal for once. Shhhhhh..... I didn't tell them that it was actually healthy :-) They had no idea they were eating vegetables, whole grains and legumes...hahaha. *****Di...

Don't worry there are both Gluten Free AND Whole Wheat options so this cookie will work for anyone!! These cookies are the perfect cookie.......lightly crisp on the outside....nice and gooey on the inside! My husband has had a rough few months at work and food has unfortunately become a comfort for both of us.......my weight has gone up and y...
BBQ Ranch Salad Recipe!! I served this delicious salad for dinner a few nights ago and the kids LOVED it! My husband said it was the best salad he had ever had! You can't go wrong mixing BBQ sauce and Ranch dressing together in the same recipe. This delicious recipe would be the perfect salad for a summer BBQ or to grace the table at your next potluck, I guarantee you will get many recipe requests with this one! Lately I have been creating in the kitchen constantly.....I'm on a good roll ...
Roasted Rosemary and Butternut Squash Pizza Surprisingly this different twist on pizza was a HUGE hit with my kids! It turned out beautifully! I have so much butternut squash just laying around and it needs to be used so I came up with this really fun pizza idea. I had no idea how this was going to turn out........But I took the risk! A delicious combination of white cheese, rosemary, butternut squash and veggies..... I made my own whole grain gluten free pizza crust and it actually turne...
Celiacs Dream Come True....... Gluten free can be extremely difficult, especially when it comes to yeasted breads! Most gluten free yeasted products are either crumbly or so chewy they don't even remotely resemble anything edible in my opinion!! I have spent the last 2 1/2 years trying to create a gluten free cinnamon roll recipe.....I've had MANY abysmal failures and some fairly good results but nothing that I felt worthy of being called a cinnamon roll........until yesterday!!! Oooey, Gooooey, d...
