Healthy Burrito Bowl (Vegan and Gluten Free)

November 3, 2014May 27, 2017 Marcus King 29 Comments

Healthy Burrito Bowl that is vegan and gluten free. This burrito bowl recipe was created and written by my husband Marcus. He is the creator of several savory recipes on my blog such as the peanut noodle stir fry, homemade sriracha sauce and black beans and rice.

We were asked to re-make a burrito bowl the other day by a reader. Of course places like Chipolte and FreeBirds have burrito bowls.

While I use to love these, they contain a bunch of salt. This vegan and gluten free burrito bowl is pretty awesome though and you will recognize some of the same components you see out dining.

When you look at the recipe, you may think it’s a little involved. However, for one days work, you can have a whole week of meals.

Just make/store the healthy burrito bowl components in separate containers and then add what you like at meal times.

Easy Cabbage Salad (Vegan, Gluten Free)

I made you another salad. This time it’s an Easy Cabbage Salad. I know we are headed into November soon, but it’s still warm here in Texas. It was actually 90 yesterday! So salads it is.

This Easy Cabbage Salad is vegan, gluten free and can be made paleo if you omit the edamame. The tahini dressing is so good! It would also make a great dip for veggies! It would also make a great dip for my spring rolls.

We whipped this salad up in no time at all. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. If you are a lover of all things salad, you may also enjoy this post. If you avoid soy, you can probably use green peas in place of the edamame.

Corn Tomato Avocado Salad (Vegan, Gluten Free)

I think I have mentioned that I am a big fan of salads. This Corn Tomato Avocado Salad is my latest. I have so many healthy salad recipes on the blog already.

You can never have too many salad recipes right? The corn we used in this recipe was organic and non GMO. We bought 48 ears of it from our co-op last summer.

We still had some left in the freezer. This corn, tomato and avocado salad could be eaten on it’s own, but it also makes a great side dish too.

If you are worried about the avocado browning in the fridge, you can always squeeze a little extra lime juice on it. Or you can add the avocado right before you eat it. That is what we did.

Avocado makes everything better, doesn’t it?

Healthy Texas Caviar (Vegan)

August 11, 2014May 23, 2017 Melissa King 42 Comments

I live in Texas now, but did not grow up here. So I had never even heard of Healthy Texas Caviar until recently. Texas caviar is nothing like caviar at all. In fact, Texas caviar is a bean salad. You can also use chips to scoop it up like salsa. It’s very yummy!

This healthy salad could easily become a staple at summer parties! We all need more healthy salad recipes right? This is healthy salad is perfect for summer. You don’t even need to heat up your kitchen making it.

We used dried beans to make this recipe, but you can also use canned if you like. The measurements in the recipe are taken after the beans were soaked and cooked. I hope you enjoy this healthy recipe as much as we did.
