Vegan Sweet Potato Chickpea “Butter Chicken”
I am so excited to share this vegan butter chicken recipe with you today. The name is a little misleading, because there is actually no chicken in this recipe – it is a vegan version of Indian butter chicken. I just couldn’t find a better way to describe it, because it isn’t really a curry, but more like a butter chicken sauce. Butter chicken is made with a delicious spiced tomato sauce. Instead of meat, the main ingredients are sweet potatoes and chickpeas, which make this dish very filling. Chickpeas are a good source of plant-based protein, and both chickpeas and fiber contain a lot of fiber. Hang in there,…

Homemade Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
Chocolate peanut butter cups were my favorite candy growing up. I always used to sneak some in mom’s basket at the grocery checkout! Fast forward many years later, I still love chocolate mixed with nut butters. I love to make my own chocolate almond butter cups at home, using either a medium or dark chocolate. There are no preservatives or artificial flavorings, just chocolate, coconut oil and almond butter! These almond butter cups are almost always in my fridge or freezer for a delicious snack!

Spinach Goat Cheese Egg Muffins
Whenever I make these egg cups, they go very quick! They are so delicious. You only need a few ingredients and a muffin pan to make them. You don’t need paper liners, because you can just grease the muffin pan itself with butter, olive oil or cooking spray. These spinach and goat cheese egg muffins are great for breakfast, brunch or having some in the refrigerator for a quick snack. This breakfast recipe is even easy for my toddler to make. I add all of the ingredients to a bowl and she mixes for me. The entire recipe takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. What other ingredients would…

Vegetarian Black Bean Enchiladas
These black bean enchiladas are one of my favorite vegetarian dishes. You won’t miss the meat at all, and they are very filling and tasty with all of the toppings you can add. I love to serve these with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, and salsa. They are on the more time consuming side, so if you want to cut down some of the prep time you can always buy the enchilada sauce at the store instead of making it yourself! These vegetarian enchiladas are gluten-free, and can be turned into vegan by replacing the cheese with your favorite vegan cheese substitute (let me know if you try this, I have…

Dukkah Avocado Toast
Some days you just need something easy for lunch. The other week I shared my homemade dukkah recipe, and it tastes great on top of avocado toast! Another reason I love always having some on hand in my spice rack. I like to make these dukkah-topped avocado breads to go with a quick soup or salad for lunch, and I like the extra protein and flavors the nuts from the dukkah provide. You can purchase dukkah at some grocery stores, but it is very easy to make at home (see my recipe above). Avocados are a superfood I always have laying around the kitchen – they are packed with vitamins,…
