Meet my quick-fix Mexican caramelized rice & veggi

Meet my quick-fix Mexican caramelized rice & veggie skillet! It’s kind of like veggie-loaded fried rice for one, but w/a Mexican-ish instead of Asian-style twist. And it’s totally scrumptious!🥑

Here's basically what I do:
🌱Sauté cooked/chilled brown rice in avocado oil to heat thru.
🌱Then add organic corn, green bell pepper, pinto beans & a couple pinches of ground coriander, cumin, chili powder & sauté to caramelize.
🌱Stir in sliced grape tomatoes, fresh cilantro, lime juice & sea salt.
🌱Garnish w/guacamole, red hot pepper & cilantro leaves, if you like (which I do!).
🌱Then dig in!😋

Definitely better than burgers in my book!🍔 Wha

Definitely better than burgers in my book!🍔 What exactly are these? Double-decker falafel sliders, of course ... just in time for those mini-sized, socially-distanced Labor Day gatherings!
🌱
Really challenging to eat ... but for me, they make for a fun presentation when served stacked like this.🤪 And more fun is exactly what so many of us need in our lives right now, right?!
🌱
Scroll through the images to see a couple other ways to whip up a dish featuring the falafel patties, too.

When I’ve got a bunch of figs, I basically make fig EVERYTHING! I loooove dunking (I mean drenching!) them in dark chocolate & sprinkling w/sea salt--or plopping them into my guacamole.🥑 Sometimes I just pop them like candy into my mouth as is, of course.🍬 But for the past couple weeks, my go-to is this ultimate, 100% plant-based sweet & savory pairing … pan-grilled flatbread pizza w/black mission figs, cashew cheese & balsamic reduction.🍕 Do you have a fav fig dish?
🌱
To make this pizza, you’ll first reduce the balsamic vinegar … which takes just a few minutes. Then you’ll pan-grill (or grill grill!) the sliced figs & the pizza dough (you can buy or make the dough) … this also takes just a few minutes. And then you’ll simply arrange everything on the grilled flatbread pizza dough. By the way, I used Treeline Cheese Salt & Pepper Treenut Cheese here for simplicity. (Just a fan!)

Yep, we’re supposed to eat lots of colors🌈! B

Yep, we’re supposed to eat lots of colors🌈! But I do play favorites (obviously from the looks of my dinner💚)! Do you play favorites, too—or is it just me?!
🌱
For this green bowl of yum, I tossed casarecce pasta🍝 w/a plant-based pesto🌿(more on that below!) & pan-charred green veggies (zucchini, snap peas, broccolini & broccoli 🥦). Then I finished it w/hemp hearts, crushed red pepper flakes🌶 & small fresh basil leaves. Sorry, I practically licked the bowl ... no pasta for you😉!

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting only

You may have noticed that I’ve been posting only a teeny tiny bit lately.🤔 It’s not because I haven’t been cooking up a storm⛈. I’ve actually been giving my kitchen an intense workout🏋️‍♀️ w/yummy projects ... a couple of them “top secret,” so unfortunately I can’t share those results with you.🧐 Luckily, not everything I’ve been whipping up needs to remain in hiding!
😋
