As long as I’ve known Brian, he has wanted me to bake him a pie for his birthday, but I never have. It has become kind of a tradition that I don’t bake him a pie, so I thought I’d continue that this year and make him a super fancy spumoni “nice” cream cake instead! Continue reading
We’re back with another mystery box challenge! If you remember last time, I gave Brian a bunch of pantry staples to use. This time, the entire pantry, fridge and freezer was fair game, so I picked several things that I thought might work well together… but tried not to make it TOO easy on him! I love these challenges because they really push him to come up with creative combinations he might not have thought of before. Continue reading
Apparently it’s Mushroom Week over here in our kitchen and we’ve got another mushroom video for you! We’ve been working on perfecting this recipe for a while after being inspired by a new recipe we tried out recently and an old favorite from Brian’s childhood. The result was a tasty recipe that even this former mushroom-hater enjoys! Continue reading
If you’ve watched our videos, you probably know that Brian loves his mushroom powder! He uses it in recipes to add that extra “umami” flavor and get in some extra nutritional benefits at the same time. Making your own mushroom powder at home is very simple! Many of you have asked us about it, so we thought we’d make a quick video showing the process. Continue reading
Get ready for another THROWDOWN! We’ve been talking about this one for a while… basically ever since Brian got me a Yonanas for Christmas last year. Today we are going to have a battle between the Yonanas and the Vitamix to see which can make the best banana nice cream using only ONE ingredient – bananas! Continue reading
In our last video, we ate a burger that Brian has been testing out. Everyone demanded that we release that recipe, and here it is just in time for the 4th of July! This black bean “umami” burger is SO delicious and I’m really excited for you to try it. Brian has outdone himself with this one! Continue reading
Sometimes a simple (yet tasty) side dish is just what you need to compliment a nice meal! Coming off of our recent “10 Pound Challenge” and eating pretty much the same thing every day for several weeks, we were both in the mood for some special meals. Brian has been experimenting with a black bean burger, and I thought his sweet & smoky corn would be a perfect addition to the plate! Continue reading
Popsicles are the best summertime treat, but the ones I ate growing up were full of… well, actually, I’m not sure what! They were usually sugar free, but I’m sure the ingredient list was a mile long. I got a craving for popsicles a few weeks back, so I decided to experiment with making my own. Continue reading
Brian was so excited when he finally perfected his “chorizo” spice blend for our recent tofu recipe and he kind of went a bit crazy trying to add it to everything! That is when he created what he now calls the “best smelling recipe he has ever made.” Lucky for you, he made a nice little video to show you just exactly how it’s done. Continue reading
Before we switched to a whole food, plant-based diet, one of Brian’s favorite things to eat was a chorizo dish from our favorite Mexican restaurant. Since we made the switch, he has been trying to “perfect” his chorizo spice blend, and I think he nailed it with this tofu recipe! Continue reading
