How to Make the Best Quinoa Breakfast Burritos On our sustainability journey we have found that an easy way for us to eat veggie is to focus on breakfast. We really make a point of having a meatless breakfast 90% of the time. Were definitely not perfect, but what can I say? Sometimes your girl just wants a piece of […]
Vegan Falafel Gyro
Happy Meatless Monday! We love mediterranean style restaurants and a good gyro is hard to beat for lunch. So my vegan falafel gyro has easily become a staple in our house. It’s not super hand on so it’s perfect for a weekend lunch or easy dinner. Just be aware that the falafel mixture usually has to rest a bit before […]
Perfect Summer Spring Rolls
Now that the weather has turned to lava here in the Sonoran desert I like light lunches that don’t require me to stand over a hot stove for more than 10 minutes. A steaming cup of soup would make me feel like I was melting like the chapstick I left in my car earlier. Instead I opt for sandwiches, salads, […]

Savory Potato Pancakes
I bought a huge bag of potatoes right when quarantine started. As such we have used them in so many recipes. These potato pancakes have been one of our favorites and are an amazing comfort food.

She runs two blogs My Sassy Starfish, a lifestyle blog focused on mindful living from a southern perspective; and Milk Tea with Mandy where she spills the tea (pun […]
Quick and Easy Vegetarian Curry
So I have a little confession to make. This Vegetarian curry recipe calls for a little cheating! I buy a jar of curry from my local grocery store and dress it up with a few more spices, and add some veggies to complete the meal. While I have made several different curry dishes from scratch most call for some specific […]
Sustainability during Quarantine
Plastic Bag Guilt Sustainability during quarantine has me feeling really guilty lately. All the plastic I’ve been bringing into my house is cringe worthy, especially all the plastic bags! I have really made an effort this last year to reduce the amount of plastic and paper bags I get from stores, so much so that I have even run out […]
How to Plan a Stress Free Vegetarian Brunch
How to Plan a Stress Free Vegetarian Brunch Vegetarian brunch During quarantine I haven’t been doing much party planning but I’m hopeful in the near future I’ll be able to invite guests into my home again! In the meantime I’ve been working on reducing the monotony around our apartment by creating special meals for our party of 2. It gives […]
Green Chile Cornbread Waffles
Green Chile Cornbread Waffles One lazy Sunday, while reminiscing over our trip to Europe, the hubs mentioned one of his favorite meals had been the cornbread waffles we had in London. I’d seen a similar dish on the menu at a local AZ brunch spot. That spot has since closed for good so I decided to see if I could […]
