Jamaican Jerk Roasted Sweet Potatoes

November 9, 2016 Melissa King 4 Comments

The other day, my husband was at the Whole Foods salad bar. He saw they had some Jamaican Jerk Roasted Sweet Potatoes, but the were so expensive! So he had to create his own version that is very affordable and easy to make!

We have had many recipes inspired from the Whole Foods salad bar. A few examples are: Kale and Apple Salad, Curry Chickpea Cous Cous, and my Carrot Ginger Detox Salad. These Jamaican Jerk Roasted Sweet Potatoes would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table.

Jamaican Jerk Roasted Sweet Potatoes

This healthy side dish has big and bold flavors. It will not disappoint! It also fits just about any diet. Vegan, gluten free, paleo, grain free, dairy free, and nut free.

The great thing about this recipe is that you will have extra seasoning left over that you can use at another time. It works well with any veggies or on your favorite protein.

Anyone that knows me, knows I am a huge hummus lover. I eat it almost everyday. I often make my own, but when I don’t, I buy Lilly’s hummus. I used Lilly’s Smoked Tomato and Basil Hummus to make this Roasted Vegetable Hummus Pizza.

Chunky Vegetable Soup

October 5, 2016August 27, 2017 Melissa King 23 Comments

Fall is coming and I am going to start posting more soup recipes. Starting with this Chunky Vegetable Soup. I made this in the slow cooker and it couldn’t have been easier!

I used the slow cooker instead of the pressure cooker because this makes a big batch. I didn’t think I could fit the whole thing in my pressure cooker.

I love using the slow cooker because the soup can cook even while you are not home. In fact, when we made this, we left the house for most of the day and came home to a delicious smell. It was making my mouth water.

As it’s written, this healthy soup recipe is vegan, gluten free, paleo and oil free. If you wanted to make it more hearty, I think adding kidney beans or brown lentils may be nice additions.

Have you tried a spiralizer yet? It’s truly life changing. You can make so many delicious creations with veggie noodles. In fact, this recipe comes to you from the cookbook, Nourishing Noodles – Spiralize Nearly 100 Plant Based Recipes for Zoodles, Ribbons, and Vegetable Spirals. The book is written and photographed by Chris Anca of the blog, Tales of a Kitchen.

This book has it all. Tips on spiralizing, breakfasts, appetizers, soups, raw entrees, and even desserts! All of them are beautifully photographed. Some of the other recipes I am looking forward to trying are: Quick Miso Noodle Soup, Cucumber and Sprouts Thai Noodle Salad, and the Coconut Cinnamon Carrot Cakes.

Sweet Potato Chickpea Stir Fry (Vegan)

May 9, 2016January 8, 2018 Melissa King 11 Comments

I am super excited to share this Sweet Potato Chickpea Stir Fry recipe since it contains many of my favorite foods! I could seriously live on sweet potatoes and chickpeas.

This recipe is great for so many reasons. It makes A LOT of food, so it’s great if you batch cook and freeze some meals. It’s also very inexpensive to make.

This sweet potato chickpea stir fry is vegan and gluten free. It’s also very versatile. I think you can add other veggies in here as well. I think red bell peppers or kale would be nice additions.

I like to make large batch recipes like this and then freeze in serving sized portions. Then I can just grab and thaw exactly what I need, instead of thawing out this gigantic container and only using a little.

Coconut Curry Cauliflower

I love my veggies, but cauliflower has always been one that I avoided. That is, until I made this Coconut Curry Cauliflower! Coconut and curry were made for each other and the flavors go so well in this easy side dish. If you wanted to make this a complete meal, you could serve it over rice or quinoa. I also think the additions of some greens, like spinach, would be delicious. I used the full fat canned coconut cream to make this dish extra rich in flavor and texture.

This coconut curry cauliflower is super easy and only contains a small amount of ingredients. It’s vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. I hope you love it as much as we did.
