Easy Chickpea Burgers

Image
These chickpea burgers are delicious way to eat plant based for dinner! Try them slathered with BBQ and topped with vegan bacon and special sauce. Eating plant based food doesn’t have to mean giving up the burger! Veggie burgers can be seriously satisfying: and that doesn’t just mean meat substitutes. No, these homemade vegan chickpea burgers are made just with whole foods and so, so delicious! I love making these vegan burgers: they’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of nuance from smoked paprika. Painted with BBQ sauce and served with shiitake bacon and spicy mayo, they’re pretty darn tasty (if I do say so myself!). 5 Star Reader Reviews “I just tried these burgers tonight and they were so good, my mom who has no interest in veggie anything loved them too. I have it with the special burger sauce and they were so good. I’m glad I found your website.” -Shannon “I was looking for a chick...

Homemade Dole Whip

Image
This creamy homemade Dole Whip recipe is an easy healthy dessert made with real ingredients in 5 minutes. Dairy-free and delicious! There’s a little soft serve shop near my house that’s become one of my family’s favorite spots because of one frozen treat: Dole Whip!

Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas

These crispy air fryer chickpeas are ready in just 15 minutes with bold spices. The perfect crunchy, healthy snack that’s also vegan and gluten-free! Here’s one of my very favorite salty, crunchy snacks that happens to be healthy: crispy chickpeas! Now, I love my oven roasted crispy chickpeas : they’re so crunchy and satisfying: but firing up my oven and waiting about an hour when a craving strikes is hard. These air fryer chickpeas cuts that time down to about 15 minutes! Something about just putting things in a basket feels so much easier. My seasoning blend adds smoky paprika, warm cumin, and a little chili powder to make a healthy snack with only pantry ingredients. My son took a taste of them and said, “These are amazing!” Why You’ll Love This Recipe Ready in 15 minutes : much faster than my roasted crispy chickpeas Big, bold flavor from my spice blend Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free Super...

How to Grill Corn on the Cob (3 Methods)

Image
I’m here to share the 3 best methods for grilling corn on the cob. Each technique brings delicious flavor to the table and ensures the corn is cooked perfectly. Grilled corn has always been a summer favorite in my family, and over the years, I’ve tried just about every method to get it right. The goal is always to keep it sweet and juicy, but there’s something special about a hint of char in that first crunchy bite. If you’re not making yours like this: you haven’t lived (yet!). Below, I’m sharing three ways to approach corn on the grill: right on the grate (the fastest and my personal favorite), in foil (the easiest method), and right in the husks (a flavor bomb for those with a little more time). Each way brings something different to the table, but the end result is always the same: something deliciously simple everyone loves!  5 Star Reader Reviews “Buttered and added old bay before cooking…..OMG….. awesome” -Tom “Just what I ...
