I don’t know about you, but Fall gets me in the mood for warmer dishes. That is exactly what I have for you today with this Green Curry with Chickpeas. The warm spices from the curry paste plus the protein from the chickpeas make this a hearty and satisfying dish!

This recipe can be served on it’s own, over rice, or you can re-purpose it into a wrap with rice for leftovers. It also happens to be gluten free in addition to being vegan.

Turkish Muhammara

If you have been following this blog for awhile, then you know my husband is Turkish. A lot of Turkish dishes are vegan. This Turkish Muhammara dip is super easy and tasty too. It’s another alternative to hummus. It would be great with veggies, pita chips or as a spread on toast. If you like Turkish food, you may also want to check out my Red Lentil Soup and my White Bean Salad.

I know it doesn’t look very pretty, but I promise is so good!! The traditional dish calls for breadcrumbs, but I wanted to keep it grain free, so I just added extra walnuts. So this recipe is vegan, gluten free and grain free. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

With Memorial Day around the corner, we are definitely in cookout season. Bean salads are a staple at every family gathering of ours. This easy mixed bean salad is so great because it calls for simple ingredients you probably already have on hand!

I used Sprouts brand Extra Virgin Olive oil and Sprouts brand Balsamic Vinegar. Did you know they have their own website dedicated to their private label products?

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.

Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta

We went to Disney World a few weeks ago. Before we left, Marcus made this delicious Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta to help use up some of the stuff in the pantry. I am not really a pasta person myself, but I thought this was awesome! We used gluten free brown rice pasta, but I am sure any pasta will work. If you love easy dinner ideas check out this post too. Some of Marcus’s other creations have been the sweet potato chili and the peanut noodle stir fry.

This Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta doesn’t take long at all to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
