Shiitake Mushroom Tacos

May 28, 2013 by Cara

If you haven’t learned yet, the possibilities of turning veggies into hearty meal are endless. You just have to retrain your brain to view food differently. I take a look at mushrooms and immediately begin to make a mental list about everything a mushroom is. Meaty. Chewy. Mild in flavor. Then I ask myself what…

Black Bean Sliders

March 24, 2013 by Cara

There is no need to feel limited just because you might be allergic to or are avoiding specific foods. This protein-packed recipe proves just that point. These mini burgers are just what your guests want to sink…

Vegan Sweet Potatoes with Candied Pecans

November 16, 2012 by Cara
