Black Bean Taquitos with Cilantro-Lime Ranch Dipping Sauce

This dish was beyond delicious! I was a little worried because I had to make quite a bit of changes from the original recipes but it turned out amazing! I've already made it twice in one week! Recipes inspired by Our Best Bites cookbook and modified to our liking.

Black Bean Taquitos
-can black beans drained and rinsed
-2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa (we love herdez)
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-1/4 teaspoon pepper
-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (one lime juiced)
-a few handfuls fresh spinach
-3/4 cup frozen corn
-1 can diced green chillies
-1 package of corn tortillas (check ingredients, should only be 3 simple ingredients)
-olive oil

Add 3/4 cup beans in blender or food processor with the salsa, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Put mixture in a medium bowl and add remaining ingredients, (except tortillas), including the rest of the beans, stir.

Preheat Oven to 425. Heat corn tortillas one at a time on a frying pan just until they are soft enough to bend without ripping. Immediately place a large spoonful of the mixture into each heated tortilla as they are heated and roll placing seam side down in a 9x13 pan. Spray or brush tops of taquitos with extra virgin olive oil and bake in the oven 20-25 min or until edgers are golden brown and crisp. While those are baking prepare Cilantro-Lime Ranch Dipping Sauce

Cilantro-Lime Ranch Dipping Sauce
-1 cup veganaise or your favorite good ingredient mayo
-3 teaspoons apple cider vinager
-1 tablespoon parsley
-few shakes of chives
-few shakes of dill
-1 teaspoon onion powder
-1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
-salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon of each)
-1 lime juiced
-2 garlic cloves
-1/2 cup chopped cilantro
-1/4 cup green salsa (we use herdez)
-hot sauce/tabasco to taste

Mix all the above ingredients together, if possible make this dressing a few hours ahead of time and refrigerate so flavors can combine and sauce thickens. Either way it's so delicious with the taquitos!!

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls (bread machine)

These taste so delicious and are so much better for you than store bought or even some of those homemade recipes that has loads of refined sugar and flour.

For the Dough: -2 cups almond milk (or other non-dairy milk) -4 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil -1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla -1/4 cup honey -1/2 cup rolled oats (I've used both old fashion and quick with good results) -4 – 4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I use fresh ground white wheat) -1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten -1 3/4 teaspoon salt -3 3/4 teaspoon yeast Filling: -3 tablespoons coconut oil melted -3/4 cup sucanat or raw sugar -1 tablespoon cinnamon Combine ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed or according to your machines instructions. Use 4 cups of flour to start. Set the dough cycle and add more flour within the first few min. if the dough is too wet. When the dough has fin...

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...

Kale Chips

Oh my goodness, these are so good! The first time I tried making kale chips was in my oven and I just used salt, pepper, and olive oil for seasoning. They were really not good at all. I sort of gave up on the idea until I went to visit my friend Emily, who has been eating a whole foods diet for a long time, she is an expert! Her sister actually does the simple healthy tasty blog and Emily posts on there sometimes too! Anyways during our visit, she offered me some kale chips and wow, I went home and ordered a food dehydrator as soon as I could so I could make them! I got this one made by Nesco and love it so far! Recipe from simple healthy tasty . -1 or 2 bunches of kale ripped into chip size pieces (I used curly leaf kale) -1/3 cup raw cashews -2 tablespoons lemon juice -3 tablespoons water -1/4 cup olive oil -1/2 teaspoon sea salt -1/4 cup nutritional yeast -1 small chunk of onion -1/2 teaspoon chili powder -1/4 teaspoon cayenne -1/4 teaspoon turmeric -1 clove garli...
