This recipe is a doubled variation of my sweet and spicy cabbage slaw recipe. Told you it is easy to customize! I replaced the cumin and cilantro with mustard and prepared horseradish. Also added extra hot sauce! Rather than slice the cabbage and onion, I chose to shred them in the food processor this time….
Burger and Sandwich Sauce
This is just a simple mix-and-go sauce recipe. As usual, I used vegan mayo in this recipe but you can use regular mayo as well! I served our sauce on a whole wheat burger bun with lettuce, tomato, and onion… and a burger of course! With whole wheat pasta salad and a horseradish coleslaw, this…
Soft Whole Wheat Burger Buns
While I enjoy a hearty roll with a crunchy crust, tonight I felt like a soft, tender bun to pair with our burgers for dinner. I prefer to make my breads with as few ingredients as possible these days BUT in the absence of vital wheat gluten, that tender crumb that I’m looking for is…
Whole Wheat Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is another very easy to customize recipe. Some are creamy, some tangy, some sweet, some savory… so many possibilities! This recipe is lightly creamy, savory, and mildly spiced making it a great side dish for stronger flavored mains like burgers, hot dogs, or barbecue. First, I prepped my vegetables. I like them to…
Homemade Enchilada Sauce
This is just a simple enchilada sauce. My husband and I enjoyed this because it was very flavorful and went well with our spinach and black bean enchiladas. My kids don’t like food to be too spicy so this has little to no heat but you could always add cayenne pepper to yours. This one…
Fresh Tomato Avocado Salsa
A simple side, great with any Mexican style dish, delicious topping, or serve as a snack with some tortilla chips! Fresh and ripe vegetables make all the difference. Just dice, season, and mix together. I made this as a side with my spinach and black bean enchiladas this time but it appears pretty regularly in…
Spinach and Black Bean Enchiladas
We eat a lot of beans in this house. They are healthy, filling, and best of all, super inexpensive, especially if you buy them dried. This one was a huge hit! I would always recommend using dried beans over canned. Dried beans just have a better texture in the end to me. Ideally, soak the…
Sweet and Spicy Cabbage Slaw
I made this recipe to go alongside some spinach and black bean enchiladas. The sweetness of the slaw was a delicious contrast to the salty flavors of the enchiladas. If you are serving this for a crowd or you just like a lot of slaw, I would go ahead and double the recipe as this…
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Bread
I love making homemade yeast breads. If you’ve never made yeast bread from scratch before, don’t be intimidated! They are time consuming but so simple to make, especially with the right tools. And nothing beats the smell and taste of freshly baked bread hot out of the oven. I started off making my own bread…
Cinnamon Sugar Granola
I like to keep granola handy in my house. It makes an easy snack for my husband to grab on his way out the door or for my kids to munch on during the day. Bonus points for not needing refrigeration while we are out and about! I make this recipe probably once or twice…
