Quinoa, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Tofu or Chickpeas
So most of my meals now consist of part of one recipe layered on top of part of a different recipe. This one is no exception. You’ve likely made quinoa. Perhaps you’ve made roasted brussels sprouts. And chances are high that you’ve pan friend some tofu or chickpeas. Put it all together for a really…
Rice, Kale, and Adzuki Bean Bowl

GF Vegan Granola Bars
I based my recipe on the Bob’s Red Mill recipe and made some modifications to make it gluten free, nut free and mixed up the fruits based on what I had in the pantry and skipped the chocolate chips. I also halved the recipe to make a manageable amount! Next up, I will attempt to…

So simple it doesn’t really need a recipe, but it’s been in the rotation lately so it’s going on the blog! Ingredients: Brown rice (cooked according to package directions) or Trader Joe’s microwave Organic brown rice (3minutes) 1 can of black beans (you can drain and rinse if you prefer) your favorite salsa fresh arugula…
