I’m not sure if this dish can actually qualify as a “hash” necessarily, but it sounds a lot cooler and hip than “sweet potatoes with corn and black beans.” Anyway, it’s really delicious and healthy! It’s a great Fall Harvest side dish but can also be a meal… and with the help of the crockpot, [...]

These nachos will knock your socks off. A friend of mine recently poo-pooed my healthy baked corn chips and I admit they can be a bit bland without all the oil and salt… but the thing about chips in nachos is they have two functions: to add a ‘crunch’ and to work as a utensil. [...]

We don’t eat a lot of “faux meat” but when I saw soy chorizo at the store, I knew I had to buy it for Scott’s birthday dinner. Not only was he excited to see the soy chorizo on the counter when I was cooking, he was over the moon for these tacos. I’m pretty [...]

My favorite part about lasagna is the layers. I purchased these ingredients planning to make traditional veggie enchiladas, but at the last minute, I decided to try something new and have fun with layers!
A special thanks to Jennifer of Veg*n Cooking because without her help I would have been stuck using a enchilada sauce from a can. [...]

While visiting a Mexican restaurant recently, I noticed “Potato Tacos” on the menu. Of course they couldn’t make them vegan (premade with cheddar, milk and ranch dressing) so I settled on the mixed veggie taco. I still wanted to try a potato taco, however, so I took a chance and made my own. They’re delicious [...]

((Pleaste vote & go here for my latest cookbook news.))
I love a tostada*. It’s like picking up one big nacho and eating it like a slice of hot pizza. Yum. When I’m feeling lazy and a bit sloppy, I throw refried beans, salsa, guacamole, black beans, olives and this cheeze in a bowl. Then I [...]

Kidney Bean Burrito

These tacos took my vegan blog to a popularity level I never dreamed of. I’m going to toot my own horn here and say that these tacos flippin’ rule. If you don’t like them, something is seriously wrong with your tongue. This dish is also another great weekday meal. It comes together in about 30 [...]
