3Herbed Black Rice With Kale and Butternut SquashAn impromptu dinner with my family last night lead to the creation of this fall inspired dish! This was actually my first time cooking with black rice (I purchased it from Trader Joe's), and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It worked perfectly as a risotto, and I will definitely be using it again! 4Herbed Black Rice With Kale and Butternut SquashI'm excited to share that I was able to source half of the ingredients for this recipe from my backyard garden. I picked the kale, calamansi, thyme and butternut squash from my garden just before I got cooking. All organic, and grown with love <3 (If you grow any fruits or veggies in your home, share below, I'd love to read about your gardens!)

Black Bean Noodle Veggie Bowl + Homemade Peanut Sauce (gf) When I was working the Los Angeles Green Festival last month with The Coco Jack, we were directly across from the Explore Asian booth. During our shifts, they were kind enough to bring over samples of their noodles. I was only able to try the mung bean noodles, but man oh man were they good. At the end of the festival on Sunday, I headed over their booth to buy a few bags of their mung bean noodles, but they were out! I was going to just head out empty handed, but they insisted I purchase their black bean spaghetti. They said that if I loved the mung bean noodles, I would love these! I trusted them, and I am so glad I did. Black Bean Noodle Veggie Bowl + Homemade Peanut Sauce (gf)

Instead of tossing your papaya seeds after eating the fruit, make use of them! A lot of people don't know that you can actually use the Papaya Seeds. There are tons of recipes online, which utilize the ingredient for its peppery flavor. Give it a try! You can dry the seeds and use them just as you would peppercorns. Or, make a face mask! This is super simple, and you only need 2 ingredients. Raw Vegan Papaya Seed & Coconut Oil Facial sweetsimplevegan.com
