Vegan Deconstructed Stuffed Pepper Bowls

These bowls are one of those assembly type meals that I love to plan ahead and bulk cook for. We love the flavors so much, and could honestly eat like this every day.

Obviously our meals are more varied, but I can legit enjoy this as lunch all week long. And they are super easy, actually – all I do is cook up a big pot of quinoa (I do this most weeks anyway) and make a batch of …

Smoky Tangy Chipotle Lime Burritos

As you can see from the varied photos, we make this burrito often. The fillings are simple and so quick to make large batches for lunch all week. I say the sauce is not optional because that is where the real tasty flavor is!

Depending on the day, the sauce is a deeper orange. This is entirely based on the amount of actual chipotle pepper I may have added to the sauce… since we use the canned chipotle in adobo so often, I generally have some in the fridge. I’ll add a whole pepper and / or some adobo sauce for extra spicy flavor.

Tofu Paneer Tikka Masala

I almost tagged this recipe in the breakfast category.

You know those dishes that you love so much, you wake up thinking about the leftovers?

No?

That’s just me? Okay.

We are so loving this Tofu Paneer Tikka Masala that immediately after making the first batch, I was wishing I had doubled it.

That is exactly what I did the second time I made this – I doubled it. Then I invited my mom over for lunch.

*insert big smiley face*

Tofu Paneer Tikka Masala @spabettie

This epic flavor comes from Chloe’s latest book, Chloe Flavor: Saucy, Crispy, Spicy, Vegan. This one boasts 125 vegan recipes with a focus on simplicity in the steps, big flavor in the food.

From the several recipes I have already tried and the vast number we are planning to try, I’d say she has nailed it on both simplicity and flavor! Chloe created a waffle recipe for her boyfriend, and the Strawberry Butter is the tasty standout there. Wow, really – so simple and so good.

The No Huevos Rancheros and the Lime Sour Cream were our first tastes of the book, which we loved as a Breakfast for Dinner situation. Word on the street in a NYC building is, …

Oh hey there, rich chocolate cake layered in fluffy chocolate mousse and bright raspberry jam.

How you doin’?

My dessert cravings are generally few: cheesecake or mousse, brownies or chocolate cake. This layered lovely encompasses two of those: tasty chocolate cake surrounded by layers of rich fluffy chocolate mousse.

Chocolate mousse frosting, but really – I may have made this “frosting” as a stand alone dessert too.

You would have done the same.

My craving for kimchi has been constant lately – and I have been eating it every day. At least once a day. My other near constant craving for noodles was strong a few weeks ago, and this soup did it up right.

That noodle craving didn’t really go away, and I …

Easy One Pot Artichoke Soup in bowls with bagel chip garnish

This soup had its debut at a recent brunch – just a small Saturday morning thing where I had some girlfriends over, and we dipped bagel chips into toasty warm soup.

This brunch was an impromptu thing, so I used a shortcut to make this recipe even quicker. Same great flavor, no real change of ingredients at all.

I simply used …
