This is my 2015 Valentines Day submission and I dedicate it to all you men.  Let me let you in on a little something, all we gals really want is some thoughtfulness on this Hallmark Holiday, so my gift to you - the thought that will have your sweetie calling all her besties the next day swooning ove...

You're bringing stuffed mushrooms to a party? Can you say, Boooor-ing?!  It's an appetizer as old as the hills and you've just signed up to bring the cop out of all cop outs of party food.  Until now. Surprise those naysayers and show up with these Rosemary Cashew Cream and Tri-Colored Quinoa Stuf...

Now, HERE'S a healthy burger!  By adding spinach to these little patties, you can forgo that salad (kids, rejoice!), but still get your greens in.  Genius.

Yeah, so everybody does a white bean chili, so what?  So, here's one that is quick, oil-free, gluten free, cholesterol free, but alas!... packed with layers of flavor!  Take this to your next chili competition and send me a pic of that trophy, my friend. 

Like hummus, except, ya know...fancier.
