I like food that’s simple to make, but still delicious. I love veggie patties, but I don’t want processed frozen ones from the store and I want them to be quick. Enter these lean, green, delicious machines! Vegan, gluten free, packed with veggies and protein, and did I mention delicious? You can experiment with theContinue reading “Quick veggie patties”

Lentil Bolognese

One of my favourite meals of all time is definitely Spaghetti Bolognese. Loved it as a kid and still love it now. It’s an easy go-to that most people have the knack of making and a ‘usual’ in the meal plan in many homes, I’m sure. But if you’re looking for a meatless option thenContinue reading “Lentil Bolognese”

Chipotle corn chowder

We were celebrating the 2 year anniversary of Free Spirited Sisters and I wanted to make something vegan and yummy that (hopefully!) everyone would like. And what better than a creamy corn chowder in the Fall? It was very well received, even by the non-veggos! The secret sauce in this delish corn chowder is theContinue reading “Chipotle corn chowder”

Seafood boil

It’s well and truly summer here in California. The days are lazy and warm, there’s lots of time in the water and eating outside as often as possible is the best! We recently hosted my best friend’s birthday party and wanted to make something delicious for dinner. She loves seafood, so I thought it wouldContinue reading “Seafood boil”

Rainbow Buddha Bowl

I love a good Buddha Bowl for dinner and sometimes even lunch. It’s such an easy and fun way to get your nutrition in. The general rule is you add your carbs, protein and veggies and then anything else that tickles your fancy really! The combinations are endless. What’s really cool is, you can haveContinue reading “Rainbow Buddha Bowl”

Lentil Dahl

Lentil Dahl with rice is one of my favourite easy weeknight dishes to make, and loved by vegans and non-vegans alike in our house. It’s usually on high rotation on the meal planner and so far, nobody is sick of it.. winning! It smells next level while it’s cooking and is full of goodness too.Continue reading “Lentil Dahl”

Butternut squash gnocchi

I often get our groceries delivered, which is an incredible blessing in our busy lives. But sometimes that means I don’t get exactly what we ordered. Sometimes I choose the wrong size item – it has become a bit of a joke that I, ahem, “sometimes” ordered tiny sized items by mistake. But occasionally it’sContinue reading “Butternut squash gnocchi”

Thai lettuce cups

I love me some lettuce cups, and butter lettuce is my favorite type to use! These Thai lettuce cups can be made with ground chicken (mince) or tofu or diced tempeh if you prefer a plant-based option. Either way they are a great and simple addition to the weeknight dinner rotation. And the peanut sauceContinue reading “Thai lettuce cups”

The holidays are a great time to flex your entertaining muscle and try out some new recipes to bring to events. But sometimes you just need something super easy to throw together too. This is especially important when you’re a bit busy prepping for other events, ya know like when your darling child volunteers youContinue reading “Caprese bites – salad on a stick”

Antipasto pasta

Oh, how I love me some Italian food! Mum did an Italian cooking course when we were young, so we got to try a lot of wonderful dishes and it created a love of olives, sun dried tomatoes, basil and much, much more. Fast forward a few years and we have this delicious antipasto pastaContinue reading “Antipasto pasta”
