Roasted Chickpea and Potato Salad
Need a summer salad idea that will slim you down and still fill you up? This salad is filling from the protein and starch from the chickpeas and potatoes and the dressing on this salad tastes just like Chick-fil-A sauce, I swear! It’s delicious and easy to meal prep for the week. Just roast the…
Thai Pasta Salad
It’s Saturday so I didn’t have to eat leftovers for lunch, like I usually do all week, so I was excited to get to make a quick and delicious lunch. I didn’t get to this Thai Pasta Salad last week so I made it for lunch! It’s amazing! It has crisp, raw veggies, whole grain…
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
If you’re wanting chicken salad, this is your go to option. It has the same flavors and you can use it however you used to use chicken salad- on a salad, in a sandwich, in a croissant, in a wrap, or in lettuce cups. It still has protein and is a tasty lunch. Let’s face…
Halftime Lentil Nachos
While I was running around Trader Joe’s yesterday doing my weekly shopping, I saw they had the new Cashew Fiesta Cheeze dip and I added it to my cart last minute. I checked the nutrition facts and was happy to see it only had 30 calories and 2 g of fat which I thought was…
BBQ Hoisin Jackfruit Tacos
These were a last minute dinner idea that I made with ingredients I had on hand. I had a can of Jackfruit, leftover tortillas, leftover veggies, and sauces. What to make? I was going to make regular taco spiced jackfruit tacos but thought we already had taco salad the same week and I wanted to…
Taco Salad with Spiced Roasted Potatoes
I wanted a new way to spice up a burrito bowl or taco salad so I decided to use crispy roasted potatoes to replace rice. It was so delicious and hearty yet healthy. The potatoes add a denseness and texture to the salad and I topped it with black beans, onions, and corn mixture then…
Vegan Sushi Donuts
I saw these somewhere online and thought they were so cute! I decided to give them a try and they look like they’d be easier than regular sushi rolls, but I actually think they were a little harder because everything wouldn’t stay on the curved donut or wouldn’t curve to fit like I wanted. They…
Mediterranean Crispy Chickpea Wraps with Cucumber Tzatziki
Last night I made these quick and scrumptious chickpea pita wraps that really might have been my favorite meal of the week, which is funny because it took the least amount of time to make. Whenever I’m craving Mediterranean food, I don’t crave the meat in gyros or cheese, I crave the intense spices, creamy…
Warm Fall Vegetable Pasta Salad
I saw a version of a Fall Vegetable pasta salad on Rabbitsandwolves Instagram page and it looked perfect for a fall day! I changed mine up a little bit and used some different veggies and made my dressing differently. I didn’t want to use oil so didn’t want to use vegan mayo so I made…
Veggilicious Pasta
I bought a bag of whole wheat fusilli from Trader Joe’s to bring to the mountains as a back up in case we needed something to eat, but since we didn’t I got to use it the night we got home. I got some more veggies because I like to have about an equal ratio…
Speedy Wonton & Mushroom Soup
This week I’ve been feeling crummy with either a cold or allergies and I’ve just been craving some soup despite the heat. I LOVE these Thai Vegetable Gyozas from Trader Joe’s so when my sister mentioned she used them in soup when she was sick, I had to give it a try. I wanted to…
Trader Joe’s Must Haves
Since it’s Labor Day I get to be home to watch the Today Show and currently a boy band is on that I’ve never heard of. I’ve never felt so old in my life watching hundreds of teen girls with braces singing every word to these songs I’ve never heard before. What happened to my…
Mediterranean Chickpea Salad with Tzatziki Dressing
Last night I made this light yet satisfying salad with crunchy spiced chickpeas, and an array of fresh veggies then topped it off with a creamy tzatziki dressing. It’s perfect for summer when you want something flavorful but it’s 100* outside. I used High Carb Hannah’s tzatziki recipe that I’ve posted before and it’s pretty…
Greek Oil Free Pasta Salad
Need a simple and fresh pasta salad for summer? This was a tasty and dill-icious light dinner and would be perfect as a side for a cook out or party. It’s only a few ingredients and it comes together quickly, so I’m glad I put these things together because it definitely works! I used High…
Vegans in Vegas, baby!
This past weekend we were in Las Vegas for my best friend’s wedding and I was really excited for more vegan options available for us to have. I did some research and asked others what restaurants were favorites, but unfortunately most of them ended up being off the main strip so we didn’t want to…
Café Sunflower
Yesterday I met my bestie Dakota for lunch at a vegan restaurant in Sandy Springs, GA called Cafe Sunflower. She’s getting married this week in Las Vegas so we were talking about plans and details and it’s going to be beautiful! We’re so excited to go! I’ve never been to an all vegan restaurant before…
Atlantis Veg-antures
As still a semi-new vegan, travel is something I get a little anxious about food-wise. Atlantis has an option to call the chef’s office 2 weeks ahead of time to let them know of any dietary needs but I figured vegan is something that is getting common enough that they can make things work and…
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…
Vegetable, Avocado, and Brown Rice Sushi
I feel so accomplished!!! I’ve always wanted to make sushi myself because we usually go out for sushi weekly and it gets pricy and it’s something we crave. Today was the day! I watched High Carb Hannah’s video on how to make sushi and it seemed pretty easy, and it actually was. I used my…
The Charming Chickpea
