Sweet Potato Feta Quiche with a Polenta Crust (gluten-free)

Deep dish quiche. That’s what we’re talking about here. It’s like we’re just hangin’ in Chicago eating quiche type quiche. And let me just tell ya this. Plz use instant polenta. Nobody wants to lose those 10 minutes whisking when it can be already in the oven, ya dig? Also, this quiche is my favorite and I kinda want to make it again as soon as it’s gone. I also want to make a for…

Vegan Black Bean, Sweet Potato & Green Chili Enchiladas

Yesterday I was craving enchiladas in a real way. But, it’s like a million percent humidity and 90 million degrees here. Luckily I have a window unit AC and frozen cookies to keep my life/hair together. So in order to keep this craving from getting outta control and causing me to be both hot and hungry and possibly eating a corn dog of the questionable variety at a street fair, I decided to grill these.…

Vegan Brownies of Your Dreams

A few years ago a girl told me about black bean brownies and I thought it sounded real cray. Like how can that be a thing?! But during my lil vegan phase after New Orleans I gave these a go. I loved them so much that I didn’t even share them! Instead I put them in the freezer and ate them at my leisure for days. These will help you believe in magic and dreams because…

Basic B. Burrito

I wanted to call this the Brokea$$ Basic B#%$ Burrito. But Basic B. will work. (Bean is it’s middle name.) I told my bf about this and was like, “I might post it, but it’s so silly-easy.” He said it’s not basic, and sounds good. And I think he knows a thing or a million, so here you go. You see, after I had food poisoning a bit ago, all I wanted to eat was…

Tofu Bahn Mi

Right now, Elliot is under the couch hiding from fireworks. So despite the pup-fear, this weekend has been really great! I grilled tofu and corn Friday night and ate this at the picnic table. The rest of the weekend was hot dogs, pizza, donuts and cheese plates. All while wearing a crop top! (Yeah summer!) Now, this may seem like a cray amount of food for a weekend, but I mean, it was a 4-day…

Vegan Grilled Veggie Pizza

Yesterday was the 1st day of summer! I celebrated it by giving my picnic table a fresh coat of paint and making this pizza! (And staying in bed until 1 with a headache because of too many grapefruit fizz drinks and summer beers, but whatev.) So I grilled up a bunch of veggies in my fridge, while the dough rose. I ate this while watching Orange is the New Black because well, this season is…

Veggie Chili Sweet Potato Fries

The last time I remember eating chili cheese fries was carry-out style when I worked at Caribou Coffee. I was all, YOLO, let’s get chili cheese fries and eat them at the tall tables by the windows and live our lives like the mocha-serving girls we are with 2 braids and chocolate on our arms. So, not much as changed? I still have chocolate on my arms or face, but I’ve upped my chili fry…

Vegan Roasted Veggie Bowl

In January I went on a little vegan-eating thing for 3 weeks and really loved it! I like how food-rules (self-induced even) turn into more creativity sometimes! I mean, if I don’t give myself any restraints I end up peanut butter cookies passed around at the bar or all the Cadbury mini eggs. But regardless of all that, this is my current favorite meal. It’s ALL veggies and the sauce has my heart. I feel pretty good about…

Just a Vegan Dreamwich

I can’t always differentiate between a low-point and a high-point (of the food variety). Like eating cinnamon rolls before dinner and then before brunch. High or low? Going for a run then eating 8 Thin Mint cookies. Going from a vegan phase to eating a Little Caesar’s pizza in the car? Getting granola all around my desk at work from handfuls? Honestly, I kinda consider these all high-points. Gotta live your life, right? One thing I…

My Favorite Lunch

Ok, so the other day I was asked, “What are you doing to take care of yourself?” And I was all, “Oh, ya know, I wake up a little bit early and make oatmeal for breakfast, coffee in my french press, and prep a salad in a jar for lunch.” In the summer, it made me really happy to get home from work, put a beer in my purse, bring Elliot out and have that…
