Easy Sloppy Joes

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 sweet onion diced
1/2 green bell pepper diced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 package of vegan ground crumbles (I like Boca)
1/4 cup red onion diced
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
sea salt
freshly ground pepper

Heat pan over medium with olive oil. Add sweet onion, garlic, and bell peppers, cook for just a few minutes. Add Boca and cook a few more minutes. Stir in ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper. Turn off heat, add in red onions and stir.


This is a great recipe for those days when you are low on time and need to get dinner (or lunch) in a hurry. My kids love it, and so do I.

I like to serve mine on top of a big french loaf sliced open hoagie style. Then just close it up and slice desired sandwich sizes. But these are of course still good in a bun.

Tropical Smoothie

Blend together:

One ripe mango
A can of mixed pineapple, passion fruit, and papaya (in juice, not heavy syrup)
Frozen strawberries (about one cup)
Orange juice
Apple juice


*Use as much juice as you need, use more for a thinner smoothie


This will make a full blender, enough for about 4 people.
