Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri and is known for its jazz heritage, barbecue, and craft breweries. It has several neighborhoods that each has a variety of things to do. I moved back to the Kansas City area this past November. Due to the unusually cold winter, I hadn’t really gotten A chance to get out and explore the city. On my most recent day off from work, I decided to take a trip to the downtown Kansas City area and do some sightseeing. I visited three places near the Crossroads District of Kansas City area. While on my foot tour of the CIty I also played some Pokemon Go and really was able to explore and learn more about the city.

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.

Roasted veggie wraps with hummus is a versatile and easy dish to prepare. It’s one of my favorite dishes to have during my lunch hour or for dinner. They give you just the right amount of energy you need to get through the busiest of days. This is a simple, clean, and wholesome dish that will give you all the goodness that your body needs and is low in fat.
