I think these vegan Italian stuffed bell peppers are my new favorite dinner… Sweet blistered bell peppers stuffed with a flavorful risotto style sun dried tomato rice, chickpeas and topped with the easiest toasted sunflower basil pesto. They’re easy to make, packed with veggies and so delicious! In the past, […]
The fluffiest baked rice with chickpeas and crispy tofu feta… the perfect healthy (but delicious!) dinner. The rice itself is pretty simple.
