Welcome to the second recipe of the fake Cinco de Mayo series. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read my homemade salsa post. Just over here making fun of myself for a little calendar mix up I made. Regardless, what I have for you is another Mexican inspired recipe, not that you mind, right?! Because who couldn't use more Mexican food in their lives? Especially when it's packed with veggies, and saucy goodness, and it's vegan!!! I'm going to go ahead and assume that everyone is on … [Read more...]
The Best Ever Guacamole
I have been making guacamole for most of my life. I remember making it with my mom when I was very little and than later being in charge of making it while she made the remainder of the meal. What's not to love about guacamole?

We all know that everything is better with a refreshing margarita! I originally … [Read more...]

I have a confession to make: I didn’t make my first batch of summertime guacamole until 2 weeks ago! What’s wrong with me?

Orange and Jicama Guacamole
I am a huge fan of my basic guacamole. It is a dish that I am constantly making during the summer. It’s such a cinch to whip up and it is always tasty. It doesn’t last very long around here.

So, I came up a guacamole that is a little unexpected, and maybe a little crazy. I promise that it is scrumptious, and that’s all … [Read more...]
Spicy Cilantro Pesto Quinoa Bowl with Soft Boiled Eggs
Who doesn’t love a nice runny egg yolk? They are a beautiful golden color with a luscious, rich, silky texture. I recently learned how to soft boil an egg to achieve the perfect runny yolk every single time. Soft boiling eggs is really quite simple. And, in my opinion, it’s easier than poaching an egg. It’s all about the timing with soft boiled eggs. 6 minutes exactly. Not one minute more or less. Your egg timer is your new best friend. Once I mastered making soft boiled eggs my mind … [Read more...]
