This post is more about the bread than the actual meal, although the meal turned out quite delicious! My friend and co-worker (shoutout to SUE!!!) made me […]

Since The Seven Salads of Summer were such a hit, I’m doing an extra eighth one! This one was really fun to make due to all the colors! The original recipe called for apples, clementines, yellow squash, beets, blueberries, and salad greens. Of course, I had to add to that, creating a real rainbow of a

We have reached salad number seven! This was another super easy one to make! I had to send Mr. FBBQ out to get me some bulgur. He likes hunting down obscure grains. For those of you that don’t know, bulgur is a type of wheat cereal. It actually reminded me of steel cut oats (texture-wise). This recipe didn’t

Today I am deviating from my normal vegan made-at-home meals to post about the dehydrated meals my friend and I took on our recent backpacking trip to Isle Royale National Park. For anyone that has been backpacking, you know that less is best. You want to go as lightweight as possible, as you are

Salad number 6 is not just a regular salad, but a power salad! What makes it so powerful?? First, we have some major antioxidants from the trifecta of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries! Then, we get more antioxidants from the quinoa, in addition to fiber, protein, zinc, manganese, copper, phosphorus, folate, iron, and magnesium. It is also gluten free,

It’s here!!! Seven Salads of Summer salad number 5!! This recipe was actually titled Grilled Peach and Blueberry Pasta Salad. However, due to the fact that I was bringing this salad on a camping trip with Mr. FBBQ, I thought the peaches might not retain their grilled goodness, so I substituted them with little
