I know what you’re thinking- walnut "meat" sounds kinda crazy. Don’t be fooled though! This recipe is perfect for making beef-less tacos. After soaking your walnuts for 2-4 hrs in warm water, the walnuts soften to create a perfect meat-like texture. Throw them in a food processor with plenty of taco seasonings, pulse for a few seconds, and viola! You’ve got the perfect filling for your Taco Tuesday dinner!

This falafel burger is such a fun twist on your staple veggie burger. These burgers are loaded with flavor. They’re packed with fresh herbs and spices like parsley, cilantro, cumin and coriander! I served these fun burgers on a pink beet bun with lettuce, tomato, onion and a tahini-based dressing.

Another breakfast quinoa bowl! Honestly, can you blame me? These bowls are so easy, nutritious and tasty. These apple peanut butter bowls are the perfect combination of sweet and nutty. Add a dash of cinnamon for a little extra fall flavor. 

This hearty fall salad combines some of my favorite cool-weather flavors. The sweet potatoes are tossed in chili powder and cinnamon giving this salad a warm kick while the pear adds a cool, crisp crunch. It has so much flavor that it is paired best with a light balsamic or vinaigrette dressing.

After a nice long vacation from cooking, I’m feeling fresh and excited to try out some new recipes! This triple berry chocolate quinoa bowl is the perfect weekday breakfast. It comes together quickly and doesn’t require a lot of active attention. Better yet, the leftovers are yummy warm or cold!
