Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Quinoa Salad with Tempeh Bacon Bits and Pomegranate

Warm Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Quinoa Salad with Tempeh Bacon Bits

By keepinitkind On November 11, 2014 · 6 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Salad, Seasonally-Inspired, Side Dishes

I sure do love me a tasty warm salad sometimes. The kind with a roasted, caramelized veggie mixed with a few other ingredients of varying temperatures and textures and tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing. You know what I’m talking about. This salad is composed mainly of quinoa and warm, freshly roasted brussels sprouts. Then [...]

Mine and Chris’s first phone call (to set up our first date) went something like this: Me: Well, I’m vegetarian, so no steak houses. Otherwise I can usually find something to eat anywhere. Chris: I’m vegetarian too! So let’s go to a vegetarian or vegan restaurant! Me: Awesome! And that was that. I know ideal [...]

Zucchini Pasta with Quinoa Meatless Balls & A Review of Gena Hamshaw’s Choosing Raw

By keepinitkind On July 14, 2014 · 8 Comments · In Book Review

When I first went vegan, I turned to the internet to answer my new health questions. I found that I kept finding myself at one particular site every time I had a question about vitamin needs or nutrient intake: Choosing Raw. At first, I was in awe of Gena Hamshaw’s vast knowledge on all things [...]

The Mediterranean Bowl with Quinoa Tabbouleh, Tofu Feta & Tahini Herb Dressing

I’m kind of the worst when it comes to using fresh herbs. I absolutely love to use them but about 95% of the time, I forget them when I’m at the grocery store, or if I do have them, I forget to use them.  It’s not uncommon to find a very sad bunch of once-fragrant [...]

The Mexican Bowl

By keepinitkind On August 9, 2013 · 26 Comments · In Entreés, Recipes, Salad

As a kid, there was a Mexican restaurant that my family went to all the time, El Burro.  I loved this place because, at the time, there was a big fountain outside with little frog statues that shot water out of their mouths and a big, covered gazebo where I could pretend I was on [...]

Qrunch Burgers: Review & A Giveaway!

It’s getting to the time of year where veggie burgers run rampant.  Ok, not rampant, but you will see them on an awful lot of plates during the summer.  When I was asked to review a new kind of veggie burger, the Qrunch burger, I of course jumped at the chance. Qrunch Foods has a [...]

Pomegranate & Chickpea Quinoa Stuffed Squash

By keepinitkind On October 10, 2012 · 32 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Vegan MoFo 2012

Always the romantic, The Chickpea surprised me with an extravagant gift. He had stuffed an acorn squash (winter squash being one of my most favorite things about fall and winter) with a mixture of golden beets, pearls of quinoa, emerald kale, and the most dazzling of jewels, pomegranate seeds!  I felt truly spoiled! The best part [...]

Basic Baked Tofu & Quinoa

Tofu and Quinoa.  I think we could safely call tofu and quinoa staples in most vegan kitchens.  They are both inexpensive, versatile, and viable sources of plant-based nutrition.  Having a simple recipe for both of these items is a valuable resource for any vegan, and Chris and I use them often. Up until now, the [...]

Curried Lentils, Corn, & Chard with Roasted Potatoes

I’m going to come clean about something.  Until I became vegan, I did not entirely understand the concept of  blogs.  I rarely looked up recipes, and if I did, I certainly didn’t take note of what blog it was on.  I would just make the same few dishes and occasionally wing it and make something [...]

Do you ever wonder how you could get more chocolate into your life?  It’s a thought that crosses my mind often.  It’s right up there with “I wonder what the new season of Arrested Development will be like?” (Answer: If it’s anything like the first 3 seasons, it will totally rock my world) and “Is [...]

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 [...]

You may or may not be aware of the fact that there is a contest happening today.  I’m not a very competitive person.  In fact, I usually run away fast shy away from competition.  It’s just part of my nature.  This time, however, when I discovered this contest, I got pretty excited. Basically, Isa Chandra [...]

Blueberry Quinoa Bran Muffins

I am the type of person that can eat the same thing for months, sometimes even years, then get tired of it suddenly and replace it with something else.  My entire junior year of college, I had tomato soup (from a box) with a grilled cheese sandwich (on white bread, usually with Kraft singles) for [...]

Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa with Cheesy Pumpkin Tempeh Sauce

Some of my most favorite dishes are born out of just grabbing some ingredients that I have on hand and going to town without a finished product in mind.  Those times when you just work on instinct and purely create.  This is one of those creations. I had an open can of pureed pumpkin in [...]

When I was a little kid, I would eat anything.  I was a parent’s dream- any vegetable they wanted me to try, I was totally game.  Whatever my dad cooked, I ate.  The only thing I remember ever not wanting to try were beets, but my parent’s tricked me, saying “Oh well, more for us.  [...]

On Urban Dictionary, one of the definitions (after several unnecessary x-rated definitions) for “Fiesta” is: A small economy car that is popular in Europe and/or other poor or liberal hell holes. “Billy drives a Fiesta and he is a communist.” That is actually not the definition I was looking for.  I was thinking something along [...]

You know how some days, even the most mundane tasks seem incredibly daunting?  Laundry.  Making a pot of coffee.  Putting on shoes.  And to top it off, its super cold and blustery outside.  You know those days.  Yesterday was one of those days for me.  Everything seemed to require a huge amount of energy and [...]
