It has an insane amount of protein and no cholesterol. Instead of eating potatoes and veggies, I add in a… Continue reading Chik’n Patties

Cowboy Black Beans

Me encanta los frijoles ❤ These beans are rich, filling and just the right amount of spicy. The traditional recipe for Cowboy Charro Beans includes pinto beans. I have nothing against pinto beans, but I’ve grown fond of the taste of Black beans over the years. If you find that beans give you digestive issues,… Continue reading Cowboy Black Beans

Right now I’m still on my potato “cleanse” in other words potato binge. So I’m enjoying all of my favorite foods with a twist. I am replacing… Continue reading Papas Rayas

I tried the recipe, and ate 2 bowls. When… Continue reading Creamy Potato Casserole

Black Bean Tacos

I work at a fascinating school, filled with rich Mexican culture and wonderful families and co-workers. Today I got the largest lemon I have ever seen (organic/home grown) and homemade tortillas.

Pumpkin Pie

No thank you tofu pies. Not knocking them but my boyfriend can’t tolerate soy and because I’m already a hormonal mess, I don’t consume soy either. On a few websites I noticed that people used cornstarch to thicken their pies. This recipe is inspired by Minimalist Baker Vegan GF pie. Except it’s not gluten free and I… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie
