Tempeh Gyros and Greek Potatoes
These were SO delicious! Josh and I used to go get gyros at a local mediterranean restaurant before we would go to the movies because they were amazing, and that’s something I’ve been wanting a vegan replacement for. Josh is Greek so at every big family gathering there is lamb and greek potatoes, so it’s…
Smoky Lentil, Kale, and Rice Soup
I found a recipe on Pinterest for a lentil soup that had herbs, lentils, and spinach. I used this as my baseline and added a few more things that I thought would jazz it up a little! I switched kale out for spinach and also added some brown basmati rice to have a heartier soup….
Simple Fiesta Black Bean Burgers
I really like good veggie burgers that also have a good texture and don’t come out mushy, and I also love a simple quick weeknight dinner idea. This is both! I found this recipe on fatfreevegan.com and they came together so quickly and turned out great. I ended up adding more oats into my burgers…
Mexican Brown Rice Taco Salad
I’ve posted recipes very similar to this before, but this was an easy way to have a bowl full of deliciousness in not a lot of time. I also made Mexican rice for the first time in my rice cooker and it made it that more yummy! It’s an easy way to add another layer…
Spaghetti and Chickpea Balls
If you haven’t actually made any of the recipes from my blog yet, now is the time to start! You know you’ve done it right when your husband giggles like a schoolgirl after his first bite and requests this as a weekly meal! I found this recipe on Pinterest and then adjusted it for what…
Weekend Goodies
We had a really busy weekend so I threw together things that were easy and quick to put together. On Saturday night we got together with 20ish family members and they had BBQ so I wanted to bring something that was similar, but easy to make. Luckily I had a can of Trader Joe’s organic…
Chickpea, Potato, and Kale Soup
It’s been a crazy week so I haven’t had time to blog or even really take pictures! Tuesday I made a chickpea, potato, and kale soup and forgot to take a picture, Wednesday I made an edamame and vegetable rice noodle bowl that I forgot to take a picture of but it’s something I’ve probably…
Meal Planning 3.4.18
Weekend breakfasts are the best breakfasts! This morning I made a cinnamon date oatmeal and I actually ate the whole thing! First time ever (when it wasn’t from a packet.) I used natural sweeteners to make it taste like the sweet oatmeal that I do like (tolerate) without adding a bunch of sugar and topped…
Speedy Curry Rice
Last night I was tired (because most teachers are done by Thursday) and the rain has been making me so sleepy. I didn’t feel like getting take out because I’ve been trying to eat as oil free as possible, so I pulled together my leftovers and made this curry rice. I found a recipe on…
Weekly Sushi Love
We’re used to weekly sushi because we used to go to our favorite sushi spot every weekend, but we got busy and it got too expensive for that extravagance. I’ve always wanted to make sushi, but it always worried me that the fish wouldn’t be fresh enough and I didn’t know where to buy it….
Eggcelent Eggplant Rollatini
Eating plant based Italian can be pretty simple, and pretty delicious. You can have pasta, veggies, sauces, herbs and bread. I’ve made eggplant parmesan, lasagna, and pastas, but I had an idea to make an eggplant rollatini stuffed with a tofu ricotta for something different with a side of pasta and roasted broccoli. I invited…
Savory Lentils and Brown Rice
I know I’ve posted about this recipe before, but it’s soooo tasty and soooo easy! It takes about two minutes to prep, press the brown rice button on the rice cooker, and an hour later you have a savory, flavorful meal in one pot. We’ve been on a mushroom kick this week already, so I…
Maple Dijon Buddha Bowl
Want to get all of your veggies in? This is the meal for you! I was in the mood for roasted Brussel sprouts because we haven’t had them in a while, so I wanted to fit them in a meal this week. A buddha bowl is a great way to fit in any veggies you…
Meal Planning 2.24.18
After eating out a lot more than normal and I’m sure eating way too much oil, I wanted to get back to eating HCLF no oil this week so I planned some basics that would fit the bill. I was doing well with weight loss on this lifestyle so it’s best to just jump back…
Cheesy Vegan Broccoli Brown Rice Bake
This recipe was kept pretty true to itself, with the only change of adding more rice because I had leftover and instead of miso I took their suggestion and added soy sauce and rice vinegar instead. This was a great cozy night in meal and was definitely a better vegan cheese sauce than I’ve had…
Beach Meal Planning for HCLF
Vacation time! It’s the first vacation in our amazing year of vacations that we have planned and we’re going down to the beach near Seaside, FL. We’re so ready for a week of sun and relaxation in one of our favorite places. We love going down in the winter when it’s not so crowded and…
Baked Teriyaki Vegetable Spring Rolls
I wanted to make something special that I’ve never made before for our Valentine’s dinner at home last night. Instead of the usual cabbage and carrots inside a fried wrapper, I wanted to bake them. Since they were baked, I wanted to add the flavor on the inside with a sauteed vegetable and teriyaki sauce…
Veggie and Tofu Unfried Rice
Veggie and Tofu Unfried Rice After watching them add a pound of butter while making fried rice last weekend at hibachi, I wanted to find a healthy oil-free option that was still full of flavor. I cooked brown basmati rice in the rice cooker with miso broth which added a lot of asian flavor without…
HCH Lentil Loaf and Baked Fries
Tonight I made High Carb Hannah’s lentil loaf instead of the lentil sloppy joe’s that I had planned, because I watched her video on how she made it yesterday and it looked so good I changed my mind! The good thing is, I already had all of the ingredients because they’re so similar. Instead of…
The Charming Chickpea
