BBQ Cauliflower Tacos with Chickpeas and Quinoa from Good Dinner Mom

BBQ Cauliflower Tacos with Chickpeas and
Quinoa (Vegan + GF) from Good Dinner Mom

From Good Dinner Mom:

"BBQ Cauliflower Tacos with Chickpeas and Quinoa is super flavorful. And the fact that it’s vegan, gluten-free and incredibly healthy is an after-thought… but a good one :). Cauliflower and chickpeas get mixed with a classic barbecue rub (who would have thought?), then tossed with quinoa, and layered with a super-simple yet perfect cole slaw, wrapped in heated or fried corn tortillas. Then go crazy with lime juice, sliced jalapenos, salsa if you want (and of course, cheese for a vegetarian option) – or just keep it simple. Love!"

Avocatta Lasagna Rolls from The Vegan Version

Avocatta Lasagna Rolls - The Vegan Version

From The Vegan Version about this recipe for "Avocatta" Lasagna Rolls:

"These were really easy to throw together, were really flavorful and were also very filling. I am not sure why there are not more recipes out there that substitute avocado for ricotta. Maybe because avocado is often associated with Mexican cuisine and lasagna with Italian.  I don't know, but I am glad I decided to try this as it was very tasty. I love the creaminess of the avocado blended with more traditional Italian flavors."

This easy, delicious and nutritious recipe features healthy ingredients such as avocado, baby spinach, tomatoes, and fresh parsley.  The author of the recipe notes that there is a lot of opportunity to change what is added to the mix.  We agree - this recipe is very versatile!

Spicy Chickpea Veggie Burgers from Running on Real Food

Spicy Chickpea Veggie Burgers
from Running on Real Food

From Deryn (Running on Real Food), the author of this recipe:

"These wonderful patties are an excellent alternative to those store-bought versions that pretend to be veggie burgers. Have you ever read the list of ingredients in some of those products?! Wow! There’s not much resembling vegetables in them and they’re often packed with preservatives, sodium and other nasty additives. Years ago, I used to buy those frozen, boxed veggie burgers and other meat-wannabe products, but these days I just can’t stomach those yucky ingredients and honestly the taste leaves plenty to be desired. Homemade patties to the rescue!
In addition to being full of flavor, these patties only take about 10 minutes to prep and you probably have most of the ingredients already!"

Indeed, the recipe is easy, and these patties are delightfully flavorful and made from healthy ingredients - use gluten-free oats and GF bun or bread, if gluten sensitive or intolerant.  A unique combination of several ingredients (hint: Sriracha Sauce and ??) give these patties a complex and pleasing flavor profile.

Goes like this: throw stuff in the food processor, rub things with your hands, toss something in the dehydrator and you'll get a gourmet raw food meal in no time! (Okay, I may have simplified that process a little.) But seriously - it's pretty much that easy. Look at the colours of this food."
