Vegan Spaghetti Squash Enchilada Bowl

February 17, 2016 Amanda Plott

Lately I have been trying to be a lot more mindful, especially with my time. It seems as if the older I get, the less minutes and hours there are in my day. Life has been whipping my tail lately and it all seems like such a blur. So, to help slow things down I decided to make this super easy vegan squash bowl. It's what 'Make Me Mindful' means to me right now.

I've noticed a lot of times that I tend to make vegan cooking a lot more of a task than it needs to be. Sometimes when it comes to food, the simpler - the better. And that couldn't be more accurate with this wonderful all inclusive plant based bowl that doesn't even require one dish to be made messy in the process of cooking it!...

Vegan Spinach & Artichoke Dip

Not only can plant-based diets be good for people and better for the planet, but they taste amazing too! I've been working with my own family and our diets, eating less and less meat each week it seems. So, I'm taking the #MeatlessMondayNight challenge to spark real change.

Adopting a more plant-based diet can start with making a change just one day a week – so why not start by sidelining meat during Monday Night Football games this season?

One of my favorite dips in the world is spinach and artichoke dip. I had a great recipe for it years ago that I kept tucked away even though I haven't made it in a while. Today I decided to take that recipe out, dust it off, and give a good dairy-free once over...

Vegan Cauliflower Rice Taco Bowls

A while back I came across the idea of cauliflower rice. At first I was a bit skeptical, but after the first time I tried it, I knew it would be an instant hit. I've made it several times now and somehow it just never manages to make it here, for one reason or another.

I knew that I wanted to make the cauliflower rice to go in some sort of taco bowl, but wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to go with it beyond that. Then I remember that I had made this green goddess dressing a while back, and absolutely fell in love with it. I kept trying to think of other ways in which to use it and finally came to the conclusion that the most of the ingredients in it would make for a perfect cilantro lime avocado dressing.

Aha! Perfect to go with my cauliflower rice bowl!

Once I had some of the basics nailed down, I let my local produce for the week speak for me and I ended up with a veggie-full bowl of wonderfulness...
