I found myself yearning for some Caribbean vibes 🏝️, so I decided to smoke some Lion's Mane mushrooms 🍄. I bathed them in my Spicy Pineapple Marinade 🌶️🍍 that doubles as a fantastic sauce. When smoking Lion's Mane, patience is key 🕰️ - it's all about allowing the flavors to fully infuse the mushroom. It made me happy to know I was making this with the intention of dropping off some to my mom for Mother's Day!

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.

This is my spin on a Southern California favorite, the taquito AKA: rolled tacos. Nuf' said

Yo, as it heats up, the recipes start to heat up! I made this crazy cherry rosemary oyster mushroom sandwich using chalupa shells as the bread. I added some guacamole, sprouts, and secret sauce. This one is going down in history.

If you haven't tried my Raw Pecan Carrot Lettuce Wraps, then we gotta give you the scoop. Whether you use walnuts or pecans, you can make a satisfying taco "meat" filling to fuel you on your raw vegan journey. Are you joining me each month for Mindful Eating Resets?!?! If not, I would love to see you in my IG Broadcast Channel.

Let's reimagine food together with purpose. I've taken one of my favorite sandwiches, added chalupa shells, and combined it with one of my favorite meat replacements, adding an old-school twist. I've revamped my mushroom meat for this recipe, infusing Banh Mi flavors into it and preparing it differently. This time, I blended all the wet ingredients with the mushrooms, improving both texture and appearance. This one's another banger!
