Here’s a veggie twist on stuffed bell peppers. It’s pretty tasty. I would recommend giving it a try.I have a short video of the recipe posted on my Instagram.

Back when I was eating meat my favorite fast food sandwich was the Spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy’s. I loved that sandwich and it was the only one I would order off Wendy’s menu. As a vegetarian I haven’t found anything to compare until this past weekend when in my Kroger frozen foods aisle I came across the Gardein Ultimate Chick’n Filets Spicy.

I watch a lot of cooking shows and they always show the meal that’s been tested 30 times to make sure it tastes and looks perfect. That’s not me, I want to share my real experiences and make cooking relatable.

Have you ever opened your fridge and closed it immediately? It happens to me a lot. My desire to cook is just not there. Here’s some tips on how I get the motivation back to get cooking.

One the reasons I am not a vegan is my love for cheese. I eat all types pepper jack, cheddar, feta, mozzarella etc. When I first began a vegetarian diet I decided to give vegan cheese a try. The plant based cheddar sliced cheese was not good the taste and texture were a no for me. I couldn’t even force myself to eat the whole slice. Now a few years later I see that there are new brands of vegan cheese out and a variety of types so I decided to give some of them a try.

I always enjoy a good Indian dish. I haven’t tried to make any at home because I’m intimidated by the toasting of spices and the number of spices used in the dishes. While in the grocery store I came across Saffron Road’s Tikka Masala simmer sauce. I checked the ingredients and found It is a vegetarian-friendly sauce. I decided to give it a try.

I love a good smoothie, whether using it as a snack or dessert it’s a healthy, quick choice.

I love the sweet yet savory and spicy flavor of the curry. The great thing about this recipe is you can throw in whatever vegetables you like. Every time I make Japanese curry it’s a little different and the flavors are always delicious.

This recipe is great for when you want something on the lighter side. If you want to make it heartier you can always add beans, tofu, or mock meats.

Today I thought I’d share some of the items that make my cooking and food prep easier and in some cases save money and time too.

My spring break vacation is over it was wonderful. I enjoyed Orlando, FL to the fullest and thought I would share some of my vegetarian food experiences.

I am super excited, spring break vacation is coming up soon. After a 7-hour road trip, I plan on having fun and relaxing at the pool, taking in a show, doing some shopping, exploring the city, and trying new places to eat. My 11 year old and mother will be along for the ride we’re going to get loads of bonding time in.

We’ve all been there you just don’t feel like cooking. Nothing looks appetizing in the fridge, you just don’t like the thought of washing the dishes after you cook or you don’t want to expend the energy overall. So you wind up getting take out. There’s nothing wrong with doing this occasionally but when one day turns into two and two into three the cost starts adding up and probably the unhealthy choices too. Here are some tips to get your home cooking food groove back on.

Ever since I became a working adult I have struggled with meal prepping. What do I take for lunch, what do I make for dinner, what should I buy for groceries, how long will this last, how do I not get tired of what I’m eating, etc? The questions go on and on. Also, the fact that spending my Sunday in the kitchen cooking everything got tiring after a while and turned me off the idea of meal prepping. There are many different ways to meal prep and this is the method along with some tips that worked for me.

I love the experience of trying new foods, flavors, and places to dine at. I have come to realize the need to be vigilant about reading the menu, Yelp profile, and looking over your food. Otherwise, you can wind up with a dish that looks delicious but questionable as to whether a piece of meat or a meat by-product is in it.

Tacos are flavorful, great for meal prep, and easy to switch up the ingredients. The recipe I’m sharing today is made with a base of black beans and Impossible ground meat. I like the texture of the two mixed together and the extra protein the Impossible meat provides.

I love pasta salad it’s my all-time favorite side dish. I wanted to find a way to make it more filling. So I decided to try tofu and roasted chickpeas and they made the perfect addition.

Every year I take 3 to 4 road trips. One of my biggest challenges being a vegetarian is maintaining my healthy eating habits on the road trip and once I’ve reached my vacation destination. A little bit of pre-planning and a phone app can help out a lot. So there’s no stress in deciding what to eat and you don’t eat a bunch of junk food. Here are a few tips I picked up over the years.
