This is one of my favorite recipes from my 2nd e-book, "It's All About the Walnuts". Be careful.... it is tough to eat just one, or two, or even three! You may need to hide these from yourself. If you love these and you would like a different variation, check out my Cheeseburger Roll recipe or my Buffalo Walnut Rolls. Enjoy!

Raise your hands in the air if you a true walnut slayer. Okay, that was supposed to be funny and cool as it relates to one of my all-time favorite hip-hop songs from Notorious B.I.G. Back to food. I always wondered when the right time to cook chili is? Wintertime makes sense since it is cold but let's just say chili is okay to eat all year round. We are going to use walnuts instead of mock meat or meat in this recipe. This dish will leave you full and questioning how this could be so delicious with walnuts. Walnut vibes are good vibes!

Are you looking for a delicious appetizer to share with friends and family? You have to try this spin on wonton tacos. These tacos are topped with fresh mango salsa and a little spicy sauce. The combination of crunchy, savory, and a little heat will have you wanting more. The show's star is, of course, Lion's Mane mushroom. Lion's Mane absorbs all the flavors from the jerk marinade and is perfect as a meat substitute for this appetizer.

This is a take on a fish sandwich that has a crispy batter and the perfect amount of crunch!

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.
