Chickpea Avocado Taquitos

Chickpea Avocado Taquitos

By keepinitkind On January 27, 2017 · 13 Comments · In Appetizers & Snacks, But My Family Would Never Eat Vegan!, Entreés, Gluten-Free, Kid Tested & Approved, Recipes
13
I grew up in a fast food family. Getting dinner from a drive-thru was a regular occurrence. One of my family’s regular go-to’s was Foster’s Freeze (we had one a few minutes from our house), where my mother would always get a large order of taquitos. Of course, these taquitos were completely not vegan, being [...]

Vegan BLT Spring Rolls with Avocado

Vegan BLT Spring Rolls with Avocado

There are very few things in life that are a “guaranteed win.” You know- those things that, no matter what the circumstances, will always be wonderful. For example, combining chocolate and peanut butter is always a win. Plain and simple. There’s no point in arguing that. Another one: Dave Sedaris books. It doesn’t matter which [...]

Before I get to this totally delectable winter bowl, I need to talk about something totally unimportant and mostly unrelated so if you just want the recipe, scroll on down. Anyway, I’m hard-core nesting right now. I’m nesting like it’s my job. Like, it’s suddenly ridiculously important to me that my home be our sanctuary [...]

Mexican Sushi with Spanish Rice and No-Cook Walnut Taco Meat

By keepinitkind On August 1, 2014 · 15 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes

Before we discuss this wonderful Mexican Sushi, I’m going to tell you the tale of a wine-tasting trip gone totally awry. After I split up from my first husband, I not only had to throw myself back into the dating pool, I also had to find a posse of single lady friends to hang out with [...]

Harissa-Spiced Chickpea Avocado Salad Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I couldn’t let National Grilled Cheese Month pass me by without sharing at least one grilled cheese sandwich recipe. I’ve said many times that my favorite quick and easy dinner for nights when I don’t feel like cooking is a chickpea avocado salad, usually stuffed into tacos. One day, a couple weeks ago, was one of [...]

Avocado, Mango & Kimchi Sushi Rolls

Something about making sushi at home has always intimidated me.  I thought I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make the rice stick to the nori and I was positive that the nori sheets would crack, but in reality, I was just afraid of trying something new.  Sushi-rolling was definitely not something I grew [...]

Oh, yes I did.  Because everything nacho-style is infinitely better. I recently made this discovery after sharing a bag of Trader Joe’s new Nacho Style Kale Chips with Chris.  They were pretty phenomenal.  I realize that this is not an earth-shattering idea because we all know that people have been making nacho-style kale chips for hundreds [...]

Curried Acorn Carrot Soup with Avocado Naan “Croutons”

I have had such the hankering for Indian food lately.  I mean, I love Indian food but usually I’m satisfied with having it once or twice a month.  Recently though, I want “masala-this” and “curry-that” all the time. This is why, when looking at the stock pile of carrots in the fridge and the acorn [...]

Avocado Naan

A little over a year ago, my hairdresser got me addicted to a dangerous drug. Okay, it’s not a drug, it’s actually a website, called Pinterest, but it’s just as addictive as any drug and can easily suck up hours upon hours of your life.  I’m assuming you’ve heard of it? When I first discovered [...]

Asian Pear & Lemon Cucumber Salad with Rosemary Molasses Tempeh Bits

By keepinitkind On September 4, 2012 · 15 Comments · In Awesome Vegan Things, Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Salad, Seasonally-Inspired, Side Dishes, Vegan Tips
15
Before we joined our CSA, we stuck to buying the same fruits and vegetables, week after week.  Even at the farmer’s market, if I had time to go, I knew which items I wanted and stuck to those.  I didn’t bother trying to learn what those “mystery greens” or what that “unidentifiable tubular-shaped vegetable” was.

Roasted Portobello Soft Tacos

I dare anyone to argue with me when I say that portobello mushrooms are the most decadent of all the mushrooms.  Actually, let me rephrase that: Please don’t argue with me when I say that portobello mushrooms are the most decadent of all the mushrooms.  I’m just not a fan of confrontation. Sure, the shiitakes have [...]

I know there are people out there who do not care for tempeh.  People who even strongly dislike tempeh.  I’d always been on the fence about it.  I have always liked it in small pieces and heavily marinated, the end product being hidden inside a wrap or a taco shell.  I like when restaurants do [...]

When I was a personal trainer, I had a client who was very dear to me.  Kim was one of those people who I immediately hit it off with and every session (three times per week) was spent catching up on each other’s lives (what we’d done recently, new things we’d cooked, vacation plans, family [...]

Since moving to Marina del Rey two years ago, we’ve discovered several things about our neighborhood.  We share the ‘hood with a TON of ducks (Chris and I refer to them as the Duck Gangs since they hang out in packs) and though they are partial to kicking it in front of the library, you [...]

This is going to sound so weird but I had daydreams about this meal for about 2 days before actually making it.  I knew it was going to be avocados and chickpeas, for sure, since I had just received some of the most gorgeous avocados from my CSA, but what form would it take?  Did [...]

One thing, among many, that I love about traveling is how much being exposed to new cuisines inspires me when I get back to my kitchen.  The first time I went to Spain, I wanted Catalan Bread (toasted baguette, drizzled with olive oil and covered with tomato pulp from being rubbed with a freshly cut [...]

During my first summer in LA, one of my favorite things to do was take Samantha, my canine companion, to the dog beach in Huntington Beach.  It was a completely selfish routine, as Samantha hated water or anything even remotely wet.  I just liked sitting near the ocean with my good friend and she was [...]

A week ago, Cara over at Fork and Beans had Caitlin, The Vegan Chickpea, do a guest post.   These two ladies are already two of my favorite bloggers, and to have them together in one place was pretty great.  It’s like when you’re watching one of your favorite TV shows and a character from [...]
