Sweet Potato, Mango and Fava Bean Salad
So like most vegans, I’m totally obsessed with Pizza. Before the mass marketing of Daiya vegan cheese getting a vegan pizza that wasn’t honestly, kind of bland, was pretty difficult because your options were mostly to find a place with a vegan crust and get…
Zucchini and Carrot Noodles with Mango Sauce
(serves one)
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 zucchini
- 1/2 mango
- 1 medium to large tomato
Make the noodles by peeling the carrot and zucchini then using either the peeler or a spiralizer peel bits on the veggies off rotating often until you get to the seeds of the zucchini or the middle of the carrot. (at this point, i usually eat the carrot and discard the seeds of the zucchini). Peel the mango and chop the tomato and blend them together in a blender. Mix the noodles with the sauce and serve :)
Note; this is a raw recipe, but if you like things warmer feel free to heat the vegetables in the sauce in a small pan.
(not my recipe but i don’t remember where i adapted it from! but i do cook it pretty often :D)

This is my “I’m too broke for groceries this week, so I’ll make a leftover scramble” recipe. Three servings.
- 1 Can Kidney Beans
- 1 Bag frozen vegeables
- 1 Cup dry quinoa
- 3 T Soyaki Sauce from Trader Joe’s
Cook the quinoa by bringing 2 cups of water on the stove to a boil, covering and simmering for 15 minutes. While that simmers, heat vegetables in a pan and toss kidney beans in to warm. Coat in Soyaki Sauce. Stir in quinoa after it’s cooked. Roughly 450 calories with 18g of protein and 14g of fiber.
Nothing fancy, but it gets rid of that old bag of frozen veggies and the can of beans I dug out of my cabinet. This recipe is very versatile to all of your “I’m too broke for this” needs. You can pretty much mix anything with quinoa and have a delicious dinner.
