Hello Darlings! Have you ever had a recipe idea that you were so excited about and then it doesn’t exactly go as planned? That happened to me this week. This week’s ingredient for Better With Veggies Meatless Mondays From A-Z was flax, and for the longest time I had no ideas for recipes. Finally, I called my mother, “granola bars!” Brilliant idea maman. I decided to make vegan granola bars sweetened (and stuck together) with the organic bulk agave syrup that you can get at Sprouts ...

Meatless Monday: Roasted Squash and Quinoa Salad with Rosemary-Lemon Vinaigrette
Hello Darlings! I love when there are sales on squash. With my sweettooth’s voracious appetite, anything that is sweet *and* healthy is a great find. Both butternut and kabocha squash varieties are super sweet, healthy, and are delicious roasted (and we know my long-lasting obsession with roasted veggies), so I picked up one of each and decided to base a meal around them. I added filling quinoa, some sunflower seeds for their good fats, and a rosemary-lemon vinaigrette to cut a bit of the ...

Meatless Monday: Spiced Eggplant Chips
Hello Darlings! It is 'cook' week for Meatless Mondays from A-Z with Better With Veggies! I decided to try Laura from Sprint to the Table's super simple but super delicious recipe for eggplant chips. Because the full (very brief) recipe is over on Laura's page, and I followed her instructions to the letter (minus the seasoning) this post is going to be very picture heavy, but hey, you really can't go wrong with food porn pictures! I paired my finished eggplant chips with some leftover ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Spiced Eggplant Chips
Meatless Monday: Broiled Eggplant Hummus
Hello Darlings! I am finally back on track and participating in BetterWithVeggies’ Meatless Monday from A-Z! This week’s ingredient is eggplant. Ever so excited, I popped over to Sprouts Farmer’s Market and they had some gorgeous organic eggplants on sale- fabulous timing! I had also been craving hummus, which, for me, is quite odd as I have an (very well documented) aversion to oddly textured foods, so I challenged myself to create an incredibly smooth eggplant hummus. And while hummus is a ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Broiled Eggplant Hummus
Meatless Monday: Blueberry-Lavender Almond Milk
Hello Darlings! I hate cow’s milk, always have. Which really is a bit odd knowing my (more than) slight obsession with just about any cheese I can get my hands on, but never the less, I really just find milk unappetizing. Almond milk on the other hand? Fabulous. I wish that I had known about almond milk when I was younger, maybe then I wouldn’t have to constantly complain about being the short one in my family, but I digress. This week’s Meatless Monday from A-Z’s ingredient was ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Blueberry-Lavender Almond Milk
