Gluten-free Nutter Butters

September 15, 2011 by Cara

Some days I really just don’t want to cook dinner. Especially if the water has been shut off. So last night I ended up making a repeat-from-the-night-before, boring ol’ salad (((yawn))) which was anything but boring or yawn worthy, by the way. But I did manage to bake something before the water fiasco occurred that…

Spaghetti and Vegan Meatballs

September 13, 2011 by Cara

Spaghetti & Vegan Meatballs - Fork & Beans

This homemade spaghetti and vegan meatballs is oh-so comparable to the real thing and a sure knock-out-of-the-park for the people at your dinner table. With a softer bite then actual meatballs, these tempeh-filled meaties are still packed with flavor and deliciousness. Your guests might even put you on their shoulders and start singing, “For she’s a jolly good lady…”…

I love you. I love you not.

September 12, 2011 by Cara

I’m trying my best to stay away from yeast from now on. (Please don’t hold me to this sentence). I’m notorious for changing my mind often so don’t be surprised if by tomorrow you saw a new post reading, “I’m In Love With Yeast!” But as of today, I’m avoiding it now. Last night was…

Saturday Morning Cartoons and Poptarts

September 10, 2011 by Cara

Raise your hand if you grew up on Poptarts and Saturday morning cartoons?  (I’m raising both arms and legs, currently). Like I said in the My Story segment, I grew up on the standard processed foods pyramid. ((I believe Poptarts fell into the fruit and lean protein categories for my healthy childhood diet)). But the other day, I…

Lemony White Bean Quinoa Salad

Lemony White Bean Quinoa Salad

 It’s that time again: Confessional Friday! Allow me to go first. Forgive me bodily innards, for I have sinned. (((Now that I think about, I believe my truest offense is using the word “innards”))) In the past 2 days, I have consumed way too many Mike and Ikes than I would like to admit to. Yes,…

Gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Quinoa Cupcakes

Gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Quinoa Cupcakes - Fork & Beans

I am going to admit that I am was a kumquat virgin. This past Saturday was my very first experience tasting this miniature fruit (do I also admit that I had to spit it out immediately because it was so sour? Hmmmmm, looks like I just did). So when I realized that I just bought a basket…

Loaded Veggie Lunchbox Pasta Salad

September 7, 2011 by Cara

Looking for new ways to make your little one’s lunch without having to resort to the typical sandwich? Not that sandwiches are a bad thing, heck, if I could choose, I’d probably have a sandwich for lunch everyday. But sometimes you need a little shake up, something different for size for those moods that you…
