We all have those days on our meal plan where we need something tasty that doesn’t take all night to cook and with a little help from my friend, the rice shaped pasta, Orzo, I created this easy and tasty one pot meal. Quick and easy two-pot vegan orzo. The only reason it is two-pot […]
There is something comforting about a big bowl of chunky veggie spaghetti bolognese that it needs to come into my life regularly. I don’t know whether it has something to do with it being one of my first ‘specialties’, or that it is so simple to make that makes it that way. Whatever it is, […]
