Homemade Yummy Refried Bean Enchiladas Recipe- Vegan, Gluten Free Options
I decided that I’d be making vegan food tonight for supper, and wanted to change it up from the lentils I’ve been making a lot lately when I decide to cook vegan. In my freezer, I had frozen cooked kidney beans, which I cooked in large batches and froze in can sized portions. My kids […]

I wanted to share this recipe for pancakes that I’ve been making for my family lately for breakfast (since I’m trying to wean my family off of cereal and milk). They’re vegan, cheap, and I make them gluten free (though you can just as easily make them not gluten free). They’re based off of this […]
Ginger Mango Chilled Soup Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan Options, GAPS Legal
The other day when I was in the farmer’s market, I saw a big box of mangoes about to be thrown out. Why? Because they were super soft, and the vendors knew they couldn’t sell them that way. But I? I love overripe fruit, especially mango, since it is delectable and sweet when overripe. So […]

Cantaloupe Curry Recipe, Made With Cooked Unripe Cantaloupe
I buy most of my produce from the “Grade B” stand at the local farmer’s market since it is much cheaper than what I can find at the grocery store. Often the produce I get there is overripe and needs to be used immediately, but sometimes, like this past shopping trip, the produce is unripe. […]
