Smoked Salmon Cucumber Cracker

Leave a comment

My favorite snack at the moment… Smoked salmon and cucumber cracker! This snack feels really sofishticated 😉 but it’s really super simple and easy to make. It makes a great appetizer but honestly I eat this as a meal because it’s DELICIOUS and I could eat a hundred. This recipe is gluten free because I used the crackers from Schar’s. They are nice and crispy which is exactly how I like my crackers.

Ingredients:
Gluten free crackers
Mascarpone
Cucumber
Smoked salmon
Black pepper
Fresh dill

Directions:

  1. Spread mascarpone onto Schar gluten-free crackers
  2. Add sliced cumber and smoked salmon
  3. Sprinkle ground black pepper and fresh dill.

Spicy Vegan Mushroom Tacos

2 Comments

I’ve been increasingly trying to limit my meat intake by substituting my usual beef, chicken, or fish for veggies or soy products. Just cuz ya know good for the planet, good for us, and good to shake things up a bit. This recipe is perfect for Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday, or any day you feel like. The mushrooms are filling and make for a good, flavorful substitute. Plus, it’s super easy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • Mushrooms
  • Tomato
  • Onion
  • Arugula
  • Lemon & lime
  • Cilantro
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic & Onion Powder
  • Salt, Pepper, & Red Pepper Flakes
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Sriracha

Directions

Cut the mushrooms in fairly small slices. Put them into a bowl and dress with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and oyster sauce. Add butter to pan on medium high heat then add the mushroom mixture. While that cooks, dice the tomato and onion and put the tortilla on medium heat. When it’s just warm and a little crispy (or crispy to your liking), take it off and plate it. Lay arugula onto the tortilla, add cooked mushrooms, onion, tomato, cilantro, sriracha, lime juice.

AND BOOM. Delicious, healthy and easy spicy vegan mushroom tacos!

Eating healthy isn’t always the easiest. Often the preparation can be time consuming and require multiple fresh ingredients. FALSE, not with an easy and simple sweet potato.

Sweet Potatoes are a great source of fiber, have cancer treating properties, rich in vitamins and are tasty as hell. EAT THE SKIN PEOPLE. The skin is full of nutrients that will keep you healthy and happy… also its also tasty as hell.

There are so many different ways that you can prepare this tasty treat. I bake mine in the oven for about an hour at 425 degrees. AN HOUR, YOU SAY? Yes! And that may sound like a long time, but you just pop it in the oven and then get ready for the day/ shower/ or do whatever miscellaneous activity! Then boom ready.

If I need the tater to cook faster, I will cook it on the stove. This way is actually more challenging for me because I have to be physically present while it cooks.

Both ways are DELISH.

Here are some of my most recent sweet potato creations.
