It’s summer and you know what that means? Barbecue season and even if you are a vegan or a vegetarian you don’t have to miss out on some delicious barbecue. These super easy chickpeas and tofu BBQ sandwiches and packed full of flavor and smothered in barbecue sauce. The McCormick smokehouse maple seasoning gives it a smokey maple flavor, but not too salty or sweet. It is one of my favorite seasonings and adds a smokey, spicy yet sweet flavor to pretty much anything you want to try it on. I’ve put it on pasta, soups, and potatoes. The next best thing if you don’t have the time to go out and fire up the grill so if you’re in the mood for barbecue give this recipe a try.

My first time trying Korean food was with my good friend Ray. One of the restaurants that we would often visit was Huapei. A little hole in the wall restaurant located near Mt. Cedar and Mt. Hope in Lansing, MI. My favorite dish was their Huapei Chicken. The flavor was a mix of sweet and spicy. It was unique and I had never had anything close to it at any other restaurants. I no longer live in Michigan and I’m now a vegetarian. I still speak with my friend Ray occasional and we reminisce about the time we spent together and all the delicious food we had. After one of our conversations, I wanted to try to recreate the Huapei Chicken but make it vegetarian.

There is nothing better than a warm bowl of soup after a long cold, dreary winter day. Not that bland stuff that comes from a can but, a hearty homemade soup. This spicy vegan southwestern soup is just that a hearty, easy to make homemade soup to enjoy during those cold winter nights. I have been making this soup at least once a week for the last couple of months because of how unusually cold this winter has been.  On days when I have to leave my warm home to run errands, I look forward to returning home to enjoy a warm bowl of soup.
