Becca and Nick's Kitchen

I have decided that due to my passion for cooking, and Nick's handy prep skills, I wanted to start a blog about food. We are both vegetarians some people have misconceptions about what we eat. We eat a lot of really delicious food that I think others would enjoy eating as well. I will try to post a picture of the meal as well a description. If you like it, I will post the recipe. It's as simple as that. This is about educating people about a meat-free diet. Enjoy! :) Love, Becca and Nick

December 23, 2011- Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa (Vegan)

Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa (Vegan)

We tried this recipe for the first time when we went vegan for Lent. It is actually a breakfast quinoa dish but it is so good that we decided to have it for dinner tonight. So you cook the quinoa in a milk/soy milk mixture. But to make it vegan you just cook it in 2 cups of soy milk. It is 1 cup of quinoa. You then add some cinnamon into it. You can add whatever berries or nuts you like. We also eat it with some agave. We like to eat it with strawberries and pecans. We are also having the quinoa with a honeycrisp apple and a banana with some peanut butter. Yummy! This is a super easy and protein packed vegan dinner that is also breakfast. Can you ask for anything more? Enjoy!

December 7, 2011- Red Beans with Quinoa (Vegan)

Red Beans with Quinoa (Vegan)

This is a really yummy recipe that is really easy to make. It is red beans (kidney beans) sauteed with onion and garlic. You mix in some bbq sauce and serve it over quinoa. The quinoa is a whole grain which tastes a little nuttier than rice but also has added nutritional value in that it is a complete protein so we get lots of protein from the kidney beans and the quinoa. This is a really tastey dinner because of the sauteed onions and garlic with the added flavor of the bbq sauce. It is simple and easy and delicious. Enjoy!
