Spiced Red Bean & Rice Collard Green Wrap
Nothing’s as hearty a comfort food as beans and rice. You can enjoy this mix as a bowl with fresh greens or as a healthy “burrito-style” wrap. Both the rice and bean mixture are thick enough that you won’t have to worry about a mess when eating. I used a collard green for my wrap, but feel free to use other large-leaf greens. Romaine Lettuce has a lighter flavor, while kale and collard greens have a much stronger green/earthy flavor….
Ultra Creamy Coconut Oatmeal w/ Banana & Goji Berries
My go-to breakfast is oatmeal — in all of its incarnations. This version is richer than my typical oatmeal as a result of canned full-fat coconut milk. I usually use unsweetened coconut milk, but this was a real treat on a chilly, rainy morning….
Savory Roasted Butternut Squash & Yogurt
This is a great breakfast or snack when I’m on-the-go and want something warming and hearty. I sometimes throw some fresh chopped beets in to roast with the squash and love that combination as well….
Tomato Zucchini Butter Bean Stew

Savory Baked Egg, Mushrooms, & Yogurt
This dish is a real treat for me….totally unique in flavor and texture from the dishes I typically make. Creamy, savory, slightly spiced, with a heavenly aroma of mushrooms and garlic….
Perfect Vegetarian Jumbalaya
I love this. Rich, hearty, and it’s super easy to make with lots of different ingredients you may have on hand. I’ve made this jumbalaya many different ways — fresh green beans, parsnip, daikon radish, spinach, parsley, experiment with your veggies and find different combinations you love. The below ingredient list is a great base and guaranteed to taste amazing. Also note that you can use canned beans for a quicker dish, but I prefer to use a mixture of dried beans, soaked overnight and cooked longer with the other ingredients. The longer process creates that more saturated, slightly spiced “jumbalaya” flavor….
