Chili & Lime Marinated Chick'n Tacos With Carrot & Red Onion Escabeche

This is one of Dr. J's favorite meals.  It's a perfect warm weather dish, and with it being over 100 degrees F here, it's was just the ticket for dinner the other night.  My favorite part of this is the carrot/cilantro/lime combo... it is so refreshing.  Definitely one of our family favorites!

Carrot & Red Onion Escabeche

Ingredients
2 cups carrots, sliced into matchsticks
1 large red onion, diced finely
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions
Combine all ingredients.

Chili & Lime Marinated Chick'n

Ingredients
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
juice from 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
dash of red pepper
1 package of Gardein Chick'n Scallopini

Directions
1.  Combine ingredients and marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
2.  Remove the patties from the marinade and saute over medium high heat until they are cooked through.
3.  Slice the chick'n into strips.

For The Tacos
I like to use corn tortillas and I first place the Chick'n in the center and then add a big scoop of the Escabeche, followed by a dollop of tofu 'sour cream'.  If I have avocados, a spoonful of guacamole is yummy on the taco as well.

Licorice Lemonade

I am always on the lookout for good black licorice.  It's one of those things that I like to have in my cupboards for when I need a little something sweet.  I thought up this lemonade in attempts to use up the lemons on our tree and satisfy my love of licorice.  And with the temperature here pushing 110 degrees Fahrenheit, an ice cold glass of anything, really hits the spot! Lemonade Starter Ingredients 2 1/2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice Directions 1.  Mix water and sugar in a pot over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved and set aside to cool. 2.  Once the water/sugar mixture has cooled, add remaining ingredients, and stir. 3.  Store mixture, covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Licorice Lemonade Ingredients 5 cups water 3 licorice herbal tea bags(I use the Stash Licorice Spice) Lemonade Starter lemon slices ice Directions 1.  Boil 5 cups of water in a pot. 2.  Remove from heat a...

A Full Plate

This week, I have a very full plate.  I am working on a few blog designs, teaching a cupcake decorating class (which I am sooooo not qualified to do), babysitting for my sis, taking my kids to pick pumpkins and then decorating them...  and then all the usual stuff I do.  Needless to say, it's bean burritos, oatmeal and take out here at The Veggie-Full Kitchen this week.  So, instead of sharing one of my recipe's I thought I would refer everyone who lives in Southern Cali to Native Foods , to try Tanya's new Reuben.  It is AMAZING!  Just look at my little Sous-Chef.... he can recognize a good sandwich when he sees one... he just can't eat them yet. For those of you not in Southern California, here is a link to Chef Tanya's Blog where she shares some awesome recipes and more.  Also, if you are in the market for a dynamite vegan cookbook , she's got one of those too.  

My Favorite Vegan Cupcake Recipes...

Earlier this week I made these yummy cupcakes for my 3 year old's birthday.  I used a recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.  Every recipe I have made from their book I love.  These two have vegan cupcakes down to an art!  They have everything from your basic Chocolate Cupcake to your more unusual cupcake, like the Pistachio Rosewater Cupcake.  I haven't tried one of their recipes that I don't like... these are  DEFINITELY some of my favorites!
