Aren’t these colors stunning? Sunny turmeric-spiced rice and bright crisp vegetables, hello! Let’s eat this rainbow, this incredibly delicious curried brown rice and veggie salad!
Green edamame, red pepper, orange carrots, purple cabbage, and crunchy cashews, tossed with savory tamari dressing and Indian curry rice–this salad hits a home run in the healthy, vegan and gluten free departments!
Raise your hand if you love luscious gooey chocolate-y brownies. These dark chocolate vegan gluten free chocolate pecan brownies are definitely that, plus, if you’re aiming for plant-based and wheat free lucious gooey brownies, ta-da— I made these just for you!
Bursting with color and flavor–bright citrus, ripe avocado, roasted pecans, and maple sherry vinaigrette–sweet, spicy, creamy, and crunch–you absolutely need this arugula salad with clementines and pepper-spiced pecans!
As the weather gets hotter, we’re not much into turning the oven on for toasting a few nuts. No problem here–these caramelized crunchy peppery pecans are pan roasted, stovetop. Just stir the nuts around in a hot heavy-bottomed skillet with maple syrup, a bit of coconut oil, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. They toast up beautifully!
While the nuts cool into their crunchiness, whisk up a light tangy-sweet dressing out of sherry vinegar, maple syrup, a titch of Dijon mustard, and extra virgin olive oil. The sherry vinegar’s robust almost-caramel toasted nut flavor accents the peppery arugula, sweet mandarins, and oh—those pecans!
Hold on to your sombrero! You are going to go crazy over these spinach and black bean enchiladas! Spinach, onion, jalapeño chile, black beans and lots of melty cheese, rolled up in soft corn tortillas, and covered in colorful rich sauce, this is winning Mexican food. ¡Olé!
Have you ever noticed that many Mexican dishes feature red, green, and white colors, mimicing the stripes in Mexico’s flag? For instance, these mouthwatering enchiladas waving red sauce on one side and green sauce on the other, with creamy white drizzles down the middle. ¡Viva Mexico!
Just five straightforward ingredients, tomatoes, garlic, onion, green serrano chile, and cilantro, make this fresh, fruity, and not-too-spicy homemade Mexican tomato salsa.
