Navajo Spices
I received my Raw Spice Bar Kit for the month of January during the last week of the month, so I hadn’t gotten a chance to use the spices before January was over, and now it’s February. So technically this post is a month behind, …

Something special from Mandy's kitchen...
Gluten Free
The one without cheese
It was a sad day when my doctor informed me I could no longer partake in the eating of dairy foods. It was hard enough eliminating gluten from my diet a couple years ago, but now dairy too?! One, two punch! A good portion of …
Pizza on point!
When one cannot enjoy dairy or gluten, one would think one would not be able to indulge in pizza. However, I stand to correct that false supposition. Gluten-free crusts and dairy-free cheeses have made the beloved pizza universally available to all, even to those with …
Butternut squash chili
It’s officially autumn, and even though the temperature outside has still been reaching the 80s, September has a funny way of prompting every food and beverage company in the Northern Hemisphere to release their “everything-pumpkin” lines come the first of the month. Pumpkin-spice lattes, pumpkin …
Meatless Monday: Meatballs!
Meatballs without meat? Yeah, it’s a thing. And they’re a delicious alternative to your average Italian meat delicacy. Even though they don’t contain a lick of animal protein, they sound so much more appetizing with the adornment of “veggie meatballs,” as opposed to “veggie balls.” …
Chilaquiles, thug style
A couple years ago my husband received a cookbook for his birthday. It’s a fantastic cookbook to say the least, but also a compilation of recipes my husband would have never considered. Much to my meat-loving-man’s-man-of-a-husband’s dismay, there was no meat anywhere to be found …
Chana masala
My all-time favorite Indian dish is chana masala. And as much as I love this dish, I’ve never had the courage to try making it at home. It just seemed so daunting to me, and I know I could never come close to making it …
Tequila-lime chicken fajitas
This past weekend, we had our good friends over for a movie/dinner night. The weather has been beautiful lately, so I thought grilling out would be just perfect. But, I didn’t want to grill the usual barbecue chicken or boring burger. I wanted to make …
Creamy mac
I think it’s time I finally posted about my mac and cheese recipe. It’s a staple in my house – I’d say I make it a least once a week, maybe every other week. It’s that darn delicious! And it’s also completely plant-based, so it’s …
Raw carrot cake cupcakes
This cake is basically a salad…..so don’t feel guilty eating it! This was my first attempt at raw baked goods….are they still even called baked goods if they are raw?? Let’s stick with just raw desserts, then?? Anyway, I was pretty nervous to make a …
