I absolutely love cooking challenges. This is a way for me to think outside of the box and come up with some creative and tasty recipes. I had decided to enter a cooking challenge. I was visiting my friend for the weekend of this challenge and didn't know her kitchen...

Orange Raspberry Smoothie

During the winter season, I like to purchase citrus fruits from a little private school in Tennessee. This citrus fruit comes from Florida. I just got my box in a couple days ago and decided that I wanted to try creating a smoothie that was fun, sweet, and healthy....

Oatmeal Burgers

Oatmeal Burgers

I have to admit, I have tried several vegan patty recipes and they have either fallen apart or they are really dry. This recipe I found on yummly.com, it was the first one that tasted very good and stayed together without any problems. I did find that they were not as salty as I would like and I don’t usually put a lot of salt in my food. I also used gluten free oats to make these gluten free burgers for my children. The girls at three of them in one sitting. So, I will be going back to this recipe and making more. I may also freeze them too. LOVE IT!!!! I hope you enjoy them too.

Fried Rice

Fried Rice

Being vegan, I could not enjoy the fried rice at the restaurants we went to, because of the egg they put in it.  I personally wish they had an egg free option for those of us that would like to indulge for an evening. Tonight, I wanted to indulge in a fried rice...

Brown Rice
