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)

Vegan Chipotle Cauliflower Buffalo Bites + Raw Cashew Ranch Dip (gf) The 2014 Football Season is here, and what better way to kick it off than with some spicy, saucy, "I need 20 napkins" buffalo bites? Oh, and they're...drumroll...healthy too. Wait....don't go! Stay for this, I know you'll love them. Cheezy burger spreads, pizza crust, oven-roasted steaks, and now buffalo wings, I think it's safe to say that with Cauliflower, you can do it all. Cauliflower is one of my favorite ingredients to use because it is so versatile and has a power punch of nutrition. It's my go-to vegetable when I try to create a recipes with hidden vegetables for my family to try. Vegan Chipotle Cauliflower Buffalo Bites + Raw Cashew Ranch Dip (gf)
