I wish I had taken a picture of this amazing dish, but it was sooo good that it went super fast! My boyfriend has been in town for a few days now. Our routine for meals consists of a lot of eating out and me cooking a few times during his visit. We had my parents over for spaghetti with "meatballs" one night and had a lot of left over pasta. As we were coming home from church last night, I decided to have a "whatever you can find in the pantry for dinner" kind of night. So here's what I used... The...

My usual schedule for the summer consists of waking up, working out, coming home and eating something super healthy for lunch. Today, I decided to use some of the things I had on hand to make lettuce wraps. So here's what I used: Iceburg lettuce 1 can of kidney beans 1 can of garbanzo beans 1/2 a cucumber chopped 1/2 a green bell pepper chopped 1/2 tomato chopped 1/2 avocado sliced A few mushrooms chopped A little olive oil A little lemond juice Salt and pepper to taste So here's what you do: 1.) In a bowl, combine...

Yes, another vegan recipe, but I am not vegan. However, I like the idea of not cooking with eggs. Bananas act kind of like eggs, which I think making these muffins "vegan" super easy. I took a rather long nap around 6 pm last night and couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up. So, I decided to bake. I had a couple bananas on my counter that started looking kind of interesting. Those bananas soon became my inspiration for my baking. I looked online for a good vegan banana muffin recipe that matched the ingredients...

  Looks delicious doesn't it??? I normally cook for one, which means when I buy a box of couscous, I don't eat it all and a lot of it goes to waste. While at the grocery store, I stumbled upon a jar of couscous. I can measure out however much I want and I don't waste any. Problem solved. With that said, I put two of my favorite dishes together. Steamed veggies and couscous. I'm a genius... I know. So here's what you'll need: For the veggies: 1 zucchini, sliced and cut in half 1/2 orange bell pepper,...

I know it's been a few days since I've posted, but I've been out of town and super busy. However, I'm here and ready to inform you of my lastest findings. Eggplant... I've always loved eggplant, but I recently determined that I should use eggplant more. While visiting some friends last weekend, I was worried to tell them that I was trying the whole vegetarian thing. I didn't want anyone to have to go out of their way to do anything extra special just to fit my needs... I'm not that type of person....

Vegan you ask? Well this recipe is inspired by the vegan cookbook that I checked out from the library. It is NOT the same recipe. I actually changed it a lot, which I think made it 100 times better! With that said, let me tell you what happend. As I was preparing the cookie dough, I noticed that the dough was very dry and crumbly. I tried to add some almond milk, but I was absolutely sure this thing would turn out a DISASTER! However, I was pleasantly surprised with how well the cookies survived! So I did...

I had great plans for this Wednesday morning. I stayed up late reading Fifty Shades Darker, so my plan was to not set an alarm and wake up on my own...whatever time that would be. Well my lovely cat, Gracie, had different plans for me. She was up early playing with all sorts of things around my apartment. So here I am, awake earlier than I had anticipated, drinking my very large cup of coffee, while my precious kitty has finally calmed down. While I'm up, I probably should get started on breakfast. This morning...
