I love how my beefy seitan can be used in place of thinly sliced beef in so many different recipes. It’s a truly delicious, versatile meat substitute. So far I’ve used it in these vegan recipes: Banh Mi {Saigon Subs}, Greek Gyros, BBQ “Beef” with Creamy Sriracha Kale Slaw, as taco meat, as salad topping,…
This falafel wrap isn’t your usual falafel wrap. The kind where you basically make a vegan gyro by subbing falafel for gyro meat. Yeah, this isn’t that. It’s surprising and different and worth a blog post to show you you don’t have to have another boring falafel sandwich. I came up with this by using…
This is the recipe to make when you’re craving REALLY good sauce for pasta, but only have a small amount of time to prepare it. This sauce has it all. Chunky, tangy tomatoes, lots of fresh, zesty, garlic, fresh herbs, and a little bit of wine to take it from ordinary to extraordinary. Just boil…
This is a quick, easy recipe for sticky, sweet, garlicky tofu! A great meal to whip up when you’re in a hurry, but still want to make something delicious and fabulous! Make sure you are working with extra firm, pressed tofu. Pat it dry, and then proceed with the recipe. If your tofu is too…
Oh myyyyyyy. Made this delicious little candies of chocolaty goodness for Christmas and everyone absolutely loved them. This recipe is a keeper! These chocolates are better than any you can buy in a store. I personally don’t enjoy store bought chocolates anymore because I think they all have a faint flavor of chemicals and plastic,…
We cooked up a vegan Italian Christmas this year and it was so incredible. My vegan lasagna turned out better than ever and I can’t wait to go in and tweak my recipe so you can all try this new version. The old version is great, but ohmygosh. Every non-vegan loved it which I consider…
Fried rice is quickly becoming my go-to breakfast. It’s right up there with my Ultimate Tofu Scramble Skillet, Vegan Benny, Vegan Bagel & Carrot Lox, and Vegan “Egg” Salad. They’re all so very tasty and healthy. I’m big on protein in the morning and then having a lighter lunch. Sometimes I’m not even hungry for…
Before I went vegan I was a banh mi FANATIC. I made my own version of the traditional banh mi, and a crock pot banh mi. Also knows as the “Saigon Sub,” the banh mi sandwich is one of those unforgettable, delicious, and oh-so-addictive flavor combinations. People who love them are passionate about them. I…
This is definitely the time of year when I need my comfort food. Hearty soups and stews, chili, lentil loaf with a pile of buttery mashed potatoes, and for SURE creamy pasta dishes! There’s nothing quite like a warming, cozy, meal at the end of the day. Especially if you’ve been out and about in…
This cranberry sauce is sweet and tart and sparkles with the flavors of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and fresh orange zest! It reminds me of a cosmopolitan cocktail. In our house we call these Cosmo Cranberries. They’re so delicious and wonderful paired with whatever holiday goodies you have cooking in your kitchen. And… have you ever…
