I remember playing basketball at my neighbor's house and I could smell my mom cooking up some Black-Eyed Peas & Greens from the basketball court. I feel blessed that I can recreate this dish and make it vegan.

We ate the leftovers from these tacos for three days in a row. That's how amazing this Ancho Chile Lime Marinade is. If you don't have a smoker, you can roast the Lion's Mane and add a little liquid smoke to the marinade.

It is harvesting time and we are back with another dope recipe using mushrooms I grew at home with a North Spore Fruiting Block Kit and Boom Room. This was a nice flush with close to 1.3 pounds of shiitake mushrooms. It takes about 1-2 months to get the shiitake bag ready to start fruiting, but North Spore makes it easier and faster to grow at home. It took about 10-11 days to grow once I took the fruiting block out of its bag. Because it grows outside of the bag, it’s best to grow in a tent or fruiting chamber to prevent contamination. I chose shiitake mushrooms for this recipe because shiitake is very meaty and has a delicious umami flavor. This recipe takes some work, but at the end of the day, it's incredible to go from harvest to table right at home.

I usually get my hands on lobster mushrooms once a year, but I found it twice in San Diego this year! If you can’t get your hands on this mushroom, you can use chanterelle mushrooms or oyster mushrooms since they both have a slight seafood flavor. I cooked these up with cajun spices to pair well with the chipotle mac & cheeze. It’s been a struggle for me to create a good cheeze sauce that doesn’t dry out when baked, but this recipe hits different. For this recipe, I used a blend of cashew cheeze and melted down Follow Your Heart cheddar cheeze shreds. This created the perfect sauce! I also added canned chipotle salsa for mild heat and smoky flavor. Crispy onions and chipotle salsa, to garnish, adds a nice touch to every bite. Enjoy!

I don't know what it is about burritos, but man.... I love a good stuffed burrito. This one definitely doesn't disappoint. The fried chimichanga-style tortilla shell makes it even better and gives it the perfect crunch.

I've received a lot of messages lately with requests for more raw vegan recipes. Fortunately, I have grown very fond of eating raw vegan during my monthly Mindful Eating Resets. When I originally started these resets, I felt like I couldn't get full. But, this recipe changes the game. This delicious burrito will keep you full AND fuel your body & mind. Hope you enjoy!
