Cheesy Vegan Quinoa Bites

December 27, 2014December 27, 2014 Melissa King 37 Comments

You guys!! My husband made the most amazing Cheesy Vegan Quinoa Bites! There are tons of quinoa bite recipes on the web, but almost ALL of them contain cheese. So he set out to make some Cheesy Vegan Quinoa Bites. He totally outdid himself with this one!! This is definitely a recipe we will make often in our house! He is just so much better at the savory dishes than I am. A few of his other recipes are very popular on the blog. Like the Sweet Potato Chili and the Pumpkin Enchiladas.

He made these in jumbo sized muffin pans. However, I HIGHLY suggest making them in standard sized muffin pans. I will mention the cooking time for both versions in the recipe. These are just perfect. They are crispy on the outside and a little gooey in the middle. These cheesy vegan quinoa bites are also gluten free in addition to being vegan. 🙂

Sweet and Sour Cauliflower Stir Fry

OMG this Sweet and Sour Cauliflower Stir Fry is so good! I am a big fan of sweet and sour sauce. Sadly, most store bought brands are loaded with sugar and other additives. So I had to make my own and boy did it come out good! Actually, I can’t take total credit for this one. I came up with the idea for a sweet and sour cauliflower stir fry, but my husband Marcus created the dish. Some other creations of his are my Peanut Noodle Stir Fry and my Sweet Potato Chili. He is so much better at the savory recipes. I served this over brown rice, but it would be equally as good over quinoa.

This Sweet and Sour Cauliflower stir fry is vegan and gluten free. You could probably serve it over cauliflower rice for a grain free option. I kept the veggies and the rice in separate containers in the fridge so I could add the amount of rice I wanted. I ate 2 servings of the veggies and only a small portion of the rice. I can see the sauce working in a lot of other recipes too!

Cream of Broccoli Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)

For the longest time, my husband has been wanting to make a cream of broccoli soup. I wasn’t sure he could successfully make a vegan cream of broccoli soup. He totally outdid himself with this vegan creamy broccoli soup! Despite the name, this healthy soup has no cream!

This soup is really easy to make too. If you are a fan of soups, you may also like this post full of healthy soup recipes.

I used almond milk in my recipe, but you could also use full fat coconut milk for an extra rich texture. Another option would be to top this with a cashew cream. Yum!

This cream of broccoli soup is vegan and gluten free. I added some nutritional yeast for a slight cheesy flavor. I cooked this on the stove top, but you can also cook this soup in the crock pot as well.

Chickpea Vegetable Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)

November 17, 2014January 23, 2018 Melissa King 19 Comments

It has been seriously cold here this week in Dallas. So this Chickpea Vegetable Soup was in order. This Chickpea Vegetable Soup is super easy to make.

You can make this healthy soup in your crock pot, or on the stove. Either way works great. This healthy vegetable soup came about when I discovered my peppers and tomatoes were starting to look a little wrinkled and soft.

I wanted to use them up so I made this soup. I hope you enjoy it. If you like soups as well you may enjoy this post.

I added the chickpeas to make this vegetable soup a complete meal. I also had tons of chickpeas to use up so they were perfect. This soup makes a large amount and freezes well.

You can freeze in serving sized containers for easy grab and go meals. I topped mine with avocado because avocado makes everything better. 🙂

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)

October 28, 2014February 26, 2018 Melissa King 14 Comments

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.
