Chipotle Sweet Potato Black Bean "Skull" Pockets

When I originally made this recipe, it was fall and I was in the Halloween spirit. I made these pockets in a skull shaped baking tin and they were a big hit on social media. I have this tin in my Amazon store, but you could bake these in any pizza pocket tin.

Afternoon Vibes

BBQ Mushroom & Jackfruit Ribs

I’ve been making plant-based ribs for over three years but could never get the texture just right. The end result was either too chewy or not chewy enough. I’ve finally cracked the code with the combo of jackfruit and pink oysters. It’s time to get the grills out and unleash the smoky flavors all spring/summer.

Afternoon Vibes

Parsnip Sandwich w/ Roasted Red Bell Pepper Spread

Once I made my first dish with turnips, the next step was to experiment with parsnips! When eaten raw, people say that parsnips have a peppery, nutty flavor. When cooked, I think they taste a little sweet. For this recipe, I marinated the parsnips and thinly sliced them with a mandolin. Almost looks like lunch meat, right?

Afternoon Vibes

Raw Jerk Kale Chip Nachos

We're all about eating right, but hey, it doesn't mean we can't have some fun with our food. Wrapping up a 3-day Mindful Eating Reset, and guess what? I was craving nachos big time. So, I got busy and made these bomb Raw Jerk Kale Chip Nachos. Dehydrating kale is a wait, like 5-6 hours, so I got on it early. These were ready just in time for a late lunch – talk about timing, right? Eating mindfully needs a bit of planning and patience, but trust me, it's so worth it. Big ups to everyone rocking the 3-day Mindful Eating with me in the Broadcast!

Afternoon Vibes

Roasted Red Bell Pepper Wontons w/ Lion's Mane

This recipe was added as a bonus recipe in my "It's All About the Lion's Mane" e-book. These little wonton pockets are loaded with flavor and are easy to make for a quick snack. The creamy, savory filling pairs perfectly with sweet chili sauce, so dip these for an extra tasty treat.

Afternoon Vibes

Forbidden Fried Black Rice w/ Jerk Tofu

While making this recipe, I learned a lot about the origins of Black Rice. Did you know that Black Rice was reserved for the wealthy and upper class? Hence the name "forbidden". Of course, I can't personally account for the truth behind this lesson, but I am glad that this rice is no longer forbidden. I love this rice and the rich nutty flavor that it has.

Afternoon Vibes

Turnip Rueben

Occasionally, I gotta pull out a turnip recipe to keep my name official. I made this sandwich last year, but the version here has some significant upgrades. I made the "pastrami" slices thinner by using a potato peeler instead of a mandolin. It took more time, but it was worth it. The marinade does an excellent job penetrating the turnip slices, adding to the overall flavor. Marinating the turnips makes a big difference in texture as well. Stacked on rye bread and paired with sauerkraut, mustard, vegan thousand island dressing, dill pickles, and melted vegan cheese, this sandwich is straight fire!
