Thai Peanut Burrito Bowls

August 24, 2015 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 24 Comments

I’m a huge fan of keeping meals as simple as possible during the week.

I don’t know about you, but by the time I get home from work on a Tuesday, my brain is pretty much fried beyond the point of talking, let alone putting together an impressive, elaborate meal.

For this reason, Mark and I get into meal ruts. Bad. We make the same roasted vegetable salad every week, at least once a week. We always have some sort of Mexican food, whether it be b urrito bowls or tacos. We always have popcorn. It’s hard to change it up when we have these tasty meals down to a system.Read More

So I love making lists.

While it might be attributed to my addiction to office supplies, I think the true reason behind it is because I love the feeling I get when I finally cross something off that list.

The Best Damn Vegetarian Tacos

While I love my peanut butter, my sweet potatoes, and my oatmeal, Tacos may just be my all-time favorite food.

Not only are they completely customizable and ridiculously delicious, they also played a huge role in me scoring this dreamboat.

Almond Joy Chocolate Pudding

Being someone that follows a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, I’m used to people questioning, poking fun, and full-out gawking at my eating habits.

Take, for instance, my two week-long work orientation. We jet-setted to a land far away from Pittsburgh to live out of a suitcase for 14 straight days. While I definitely learned a lot, I sure did miss my bed, my boyfriend, and my food.

One thing that never got old, however, was sharing my food philosophy with others. No, I didn’t shove it down people’s throats, but when they asked why I was passing up the ground beef and big bowl of queso for lunch, I was happy to share my thoughts. Read More

How to Toast Coconut in 5 Minutes

We’re gettin’ nutty on Fooduzzi today, folks! Coconutty.

Dear readers, it’s true, I am a coconut lover through and through.

My addiction to coconut is fierce this time of year; I crave that tropical, rich flavor all.the.time.

While raw coconut is all fine and dandy, have you ever had the pleasure of sinking your teeth into some roasty toasty toasted coconut?! It’s takes the flavor of an already delicious thing to a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. It. Is. Insane.

It’s very possible that I will ruin all un-toasted coconut dreams for you with this post. Frankly, #sorrynotsorry. Toasted coconut is ridiculously superior. It’s sweeter. It’s richer. It’s nuttier. It tastes more “coconutty.” It’s PERFECT. And guys, you’re gonna want it in, on, and around everything:Read More

Lemon Chia Seed Scones

I’m going to let you all in on a little secret: I didn’t always value a whole food diet. In fact, I valued anything but.

Every day after school, I dove head-first into the pantry. Cheez-its are a whole food, right? Oh, and Reese’s Cups…they have peanut butter! So like, protein! Salt and vinegar chips? Well. They’re just dannnng tasty. And when I used to work at a cafe and had the ability to order half-priced blueberry scones? Hellooooo, antioxidants!

Ah, to be young again.

Are Mark and I the only ones who make meals out of chips and salsa? Crunchy chips + spicy salsa = euphoria.

Please tell me this is the norm for 20-somethings this day in age.Read More
