Here’s a recipe for Megan-simple taco beans with rice. This is something that will please everyone, veggies and meat-eaters alike, and it’s SO FREAKING EASY.

Fantastic, Megan-simple, five-ingredient guaco tacos
These Guacamole Tacos are so simple, delicious, vegan, and full of rich, velvety avocado and sweet corn that I just had to share with all the Offbeat Homies! Plus they can be made with just five ingredients — or you can top them with as many things as you’d like!
“Meat adaptable” cooking to please veggies and meat-eaters alike (+ bonus lentil taco recipe!)
Maybe you are starting to make Meat-Free Mondays a regular at your dining table. Or maybe you are one-half of a vegetarian/meat-eating couple. As a vegetarian, I want more adventurous dishes, and my partner wanted meat. So over time, we have started cooking meals that are what I call “meat adaptable.”
Delicious tomato sauce you can make in your crock pot
This is my Crock Pot Tomato Sauce. I adapted it from a recipe I saw online somewhere forever ago. My nearly three-year-old daughter loves it and it’s hearty enough that my carnivorous hubby-to-be doesn’t notice when it doesn’t have meat. But you can totally add meat to it later, especially if cooking for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. And it is SUPER easy!
Life hack: Satisfy your sweet tooth by only eating your own baking (with bonus brownie cupcake recipe!)
Like most people, I have a serious weakness for sweets. Brownies, cakes, cookies, candy bars… if it’s got chocolate in it, I probably want it. We all know the various reasons why you should limit how much sugar you consume (heart disease, zits, etc.) So we come up with life hacks to limit ourselves. Here’s mine: I only let myself eat baked goods that I make.
Strawberry Margarita Jam? Canning with alcohol!
Now, most people are used to grandma sitting over a stove making strawberry jam in jars covered with gingham fabric. I really didn’t want that. Looking online, I discovered something amazing about jam… alcohol makes it better! Strawberry Margarita Jam, Peach Fondue Jam, Black Forest Jam: you better believe I make the best jam going!
“Rainbow Brite” beans and rice recipe
Because rice and beans is, in my opinion, a staple of a whole-foods vegan diet, I’d like to share with my homies another variation that, while not Megan-simple, is still delicious and will still please everyone — and it also happens to be pretty healthy. So here we have: Rainbow Brite rice and beans.
Make bacon and egg cups for two or two dozen!
I saw this recipe on Pinterest, and knew I had to try it. We’re big bacon and egg eaters, but I hate being stuck in the kitchen, watching both. This is a great way to get a breakfast/brunch going, for lots of people, or when you’re up early and want to make something awesome. I like this because I can make a few for just the two of us, or two dozen for a family get together.
