Everyone knows soup is one of the best things to eat and what you want when you're sick. The classic "Chicken Noodle Soup" is known as the "get well" soup. So I decided to create my own plant-based, oriental-inspired version of it. I love oriental soups, but I can't always have them since soy and … Continue reading Kale & Chickpea Udon Noodle Soup

I'm able to do a lot more here then I was able to before. There will probably be more changes coming soon, but the posts will … Continue reading Recipes Transferred to Blog!

Pulled Jackfruit / Pork Sandwiches
Who doesn't want BBQ pulled pork sandwiches?? Especially when you live in Texas!

I usually make my … Continue reading Pulled Jackfruit / Pork Sandwiches
Sauteed Kale with Garlic and Lemon Juice
This is a great recipe that's quick and something that you can have as a side for almost any meal.

Borracho Beans (Plant-Based)
Borracho "drunken" beans is something that takes a while to make, if you do it right, but doesn't require a lot of your time. I always make enough to save for the rest of the week for lunch, another dinner, and they're not bad for breakfast burritos either. "Go home beans, your drunk!" Adapted from: … Continue reading Borracho Beans (Plant-Based)
Mexican Rice
James is very picky about his rice. And this was a winner! Who knew rice could be so hard to get right? You could use brown rice instead of white, just make sure to check the liquid since you might need to add a little extra at the end and let it cook a few minutes … Continue reading Mexican Rice
“Angry” Spaghetti
Spaghetti with arrabbiata (angry) sauce was something I tried and never looked back. And once I made James' sauce with hot Italian sausage, it's the only way he wants spaghetti now. I've found myself scrounging for the last jar of arrabbiata sauce at the store and finding out there's none left. So desperation made this … Continue reading “Angry” Spaghetti
