A friend asked me to make some sloppy joes, so I created this recipe. I’m happy with how it turned out and will make it again. It was hearty and tasty. I paired it with my cajun yam fries and served on a toasted whole wheat bun.
Butternut Squash Soup
It has been cold and rainy for the last several days. My friend was coming over for dinner and wanted something warm and comforting. Soup it was! We both agreed this was the best butternut squash soup we’ve ever tasted. Thick and creamy, it hit the spot perfectly!
Microgreen Burritos
If you’ve been following my garden blog, you’ll know that I have been growing a lot of microgreens lately. I love the variety of texture and flavor they bring to the table. I’ve been eating them daily for several weeks now. This meal combines two of current favorites: microgreens and roti.
Vegan Brunch

How to Clean a Vitamix and Remove Blender Film
Is your blender grimy? Is there a film on the inside of the container? My vitamix was covered in smoothie gunk and hard water stains. I had forgotten how nice it looked when I bought it. I follow the regular cleaning routine which is a drop of dish soap, some water, and then let it run for a while. The smoothie gunk still built up. My vitamix needed a deep cleaning. After thinking about it for a bit, it turned out to be quick and easy.
