Collards & Black Beans 2.0


Hey now! So the first post was probably my second or third time ever cooking collards {I know, I'm surprised my black card wasn't revoked earlier.} and I cooked canned black beans. Last Friday I made collards again {they came out brilliantly}, black beans from scratch {also brilliant}, and I sauteed some shrimp in butter and tumeric {so f'n good!}. I've been eating this meal everyday for about a week now and I still love every bite of it.

Collards & Black Beans over Basmati Rice


Yeah you're going to be seeing these ingredients a lot over the next few weeks. I'm on a mission to make wicked collards & dry beans instead of canned. I've already made some progress, but wish me luck!

Sweet Jesus, How Was I Ever Vegan?

Oh the lusciousness that is alfredo sauce. I really cannot understand why people buy jarred alfredo when it is so easy to make at home. Basic recipe: butter, half & half or heavy cream, chopped garlic, & parmesan cheese. Melt the butter, add the cream, let them simmer, then add garlic & cheese. Come on now, how simple. I added steamed broccoli, sauteed shrimp, and linguine to the sauce.
