A few weeks ago, I had a delicious vegetarian buffalo chicken sandwich at The Remedy Diner, one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Raleigh. I thought that it was very tasty and decided to try making my own version at home. The restaurant version used breaded tofu “chicken” patties, but I decided to use seitan, which is made of seasoned wheat protein. It has a very chicken-like texture and no breading to add extra calories. You can find seitan at most health food stores. I also used a buffalo sauce recipe from food.com. The recipe says to only use Frank’s Red Hot sauce in the recipe, but other hot sauces may work as well. Jason and I agreed that this sandwich was extremely tasty and worth sharing here on my blog!Nutritional Information

My Mom raved to me about these wraps for weeks and I finally got to try them when I went down to visit my parents last weekend. They are very tasty indeed, and also very unique! The recipe has you mash together white beans, avocado and cheese. It goes well with a side salad.
I had a craving for Mexican last week, so I made this tasty salad. I also made my own 
This unusual spaghetti recipe utilizes curry powder, peanut butter and sunflower oil in addition to the more expected flavor of tomato juice. It is also very quick and easy to make which tends to be a regular theme of my cooking in Spring. Serve it with a side salad to get a full serving of veggies and to add additional color to the plate.
I’m currently planning my Summer garden and didn’t have lots of time to cook this week, so I made this yummy salad. The original recipe called for store bought fat-free Italian dressing. However, when I read the ingredient label, I discovered that the third and fourth ingredients listed were corn syrup and salt, with various food colorings thrown in farther down the list. Instead, I made my own Italian dressing, which I posted earlier this week. I also substituted whole wheat tortillas to add more healthy fiber to the salad.
This is one of my favorite curry recipes. I use mango chutney in this dish which adds a tangy sweetness, as do the raisins. This is also extremely easy to make, which makes it a great recipe for Spring, when many of us would rather spend our time outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather!
These pizzas are another of my favorite dishes when I want something quick, easy and tasty to make for dinner. The Mexican flavors really add a nice twist to pizza, as does the biscuit dough that is used for the pizza crust.
These quick and easy quesadillas are one of my favorite dishes to make when I’m short on time. Serve them with a simple salad for a delicious dinner that tastes great and takes very little time to throw together.
This tofu recipe is easy to make and I often eat it with a salad for a quick lunch. It could also be tasty in a sandwich, a tortilla wrap, or served over rice.
This is a good dish to make if you are short on time. I used a non-fat cottage cheese to cut calories, along with a regular cheddar cheese to add more flavor. Use half of the cheese to further reduce the calories in this recipe.
