Have you ever been to an Asian restaurant (PF Changs) where the menu showcases a lettuce wrap? This usually has a crisp pile of bib lettuce leafs along with chicken and what I believe to be fried rice noodles. Served with a variety of sauces. I have been wanting to do something along those lines [...]
A Vegan burger recipe can be found everywhere but I love to cook. Spending hours in the kitchen is not a problem for me. Dicing, chopping, sauteeing…..these are all words that make music in my mind but I also know that not everybody is like me. People want to get into the kitchen and get [...]
Recently MattyO of Stay Strong and Positive was having a twitter conversation regarding Sweet Potatoes and I had to chime in with my recipe for sweet potato-amole or sweet potatamole. What is that you are asking yourself aren’t you? It is essentially a smashed sweet potato that has avocado mixed into it. In my attempt to [...]
When I lived in New York one of my buddies would call me approximately every 2 months and without saying hello would say: Paella Time. This was code for I’m making it this weekend so stop eating and be sure to bring your hunger. He made one of the best paella’s I ever ate, and [...]
Appears courtesy of Aimee of I Tri To Be Me Vegetarian Tex-Mex (Fajitas and Edamole) Fajitas: Although these require some marinating time, once that’s done, these cook up super fast and are super yummy! Another great thing about this recipe, is you can basically use whatever veggies you have on hand. It’s the spices that [...]
Peanut Butter Jelly is not just for kids. If you have followed me on my blog, Twitter or Facebook account for even one day you will know that I am a lover of all things Nut Butter and Jelly/Jam. You will also know that I don’t just like status quo (that’s boring.) So for me [...]
Since football season here in the United States is about to kick off I wanted to get back in the habit of making chicken wings for Sunday afternoons. Well, since I am now a vegetarian that would seem almost impossible. That is until I looked at my recipe books and found Buffalo Tempeh in Appetite [...]
In my days as a carnivore and living in New York there was nothing like that hole in the wall Italian joint that could make a meatball parmigiana hero that was just perfection. If done right you could eat the meatball parm with a glass of wine even though it was just a sandwich. The [...]
Oftentimes, simple is best. I am learning that the best recipes – and most successful Test Kitchen Tuesdays – are those that revolve around very simple ideas and flavor combinations. So, when I stumbled upon this idea for Teriyaki Chickpeas over at The Happy Herbivore, I had a good feeling it would go over well with 2Chili. [...]
Appears courtesy of Jessica Allen from Blonde Ponytail. I was ready to make a salad and though about Tabbouleh salad, so I went and got all the ingredients together. For those of you that don’t know what tabbouleh is allow me to explain. Tabbouleh is a salad that is traditionally made with bulgur, tomato, cucumber, finely chopped parsley and [...]
Up next in the All Things Oats series is Meatballs. When most people think of oat recipes, they think of breakfast or dessert foods. But guess what? Oats are a great addition to dinner recipes, too. They can add thickness and nutrition to some of your favorite dinner dishes. In this recipe, oats and nuts [...]

In the second installment of Make This Don’t Buy That I tried my hand at sushi. Prior to becoming a vegetarian I could be seen eating sushi by the truckload and never getting sick of it. When I moved to Dallas I was worried there would be no good sushi restaurants in the city since [...]
In the last post of Same Ingredients, Three Meals I used ingredients that amounted to making three meals with Mexican flair. This time around I decided I wanted to travel and found my compass pointed toward Italy. As you may know I am from New York and now live in Dallas and Italy may as [...]
I am really excited about showcasing this healthy menu today because it is for a blogger who is a superb athlete who does not hide from sweating or eating. In all honesty the blog could be called Sweat, Eat, Sweat More, Keep Eating and it would hit the nail on the head. The times that [...]
Today’s nominee is somebody that I have a lot of respect for. I have exchanged a number of emails with this person prior to the nomination so I was excited when Allison sent me the email. This blogger is fast, and I mean fast. He has qualified for Boston and I believe he can go [...]
