As I made this, I realized it’s pretty similar to Zucchini Chickpea Saute. But, here goes! This was super easy to make. It’s a good weeknight, after work meal. The original recipe called for farfalle (commonly known as bow tie), but I didn’t have that type of pasta. I ended up using whole grain fusilli because I […]

It’s finally here! My first post with the word VEGAN in the title! As you may or may not know, not everything that is vegan is healthy. I covered this in a previous post, but here’s a refresher.

Hi everyone! I’m pretty excited. I ordered some reusable linen bags for bulk foods and some zero-waste washable sponges from Etsy! If only I could get Mr. FBBQ on the Reduce/Reuse/Recycle bandwagon. I do have him recycling sometimes. Which is more than he did when we first met. Baby steps, right? Today’s salad turned out absolutely,

It’s been brought to my attention that my Lemon Orzo Spinach Soup post cited “Orzo October” but was posted in November. Sincere apologies for that! Often, Mr FBBQ and I write the posts in advance and they get queued for a post date. I’ll have to be more careful. Thank you to New Hampshire for

Hello, plant lovers!! This week I have another delicious dinner for you to make! Let’s get started! I made the sauce for this one first, as it was a little more involved than the rest of the dish. Similar to the vegan pesto, I used cashews that had been soaked in hot water for about a

We should totally call this Orzo October!! This is one of my favorite soups! Now that fall is here in the Midwest, I’ll be posting a lot of soups. They’re easy to make and re-heat, or even freeze some for later! We will need some vegetables for this soup, those being carrots, onion, celery, baby spinach,
