With everyone doing a lot more cooking lately, I figured I would share some of my favorite ways to use up food! I always love having fresh veggies and fruit in my apartment, but for one person, things can go bad pretty fast if I’m not eating a lot. I love finding new ways to give food a second life! Here are four of my favorite recipes and tips for preventing food waste.
These are absolutely delicious and a great alternative to mashed potatoes if you're looking to add more legumes or protein to your diet! No one will know the difference.
Made with only three ingredients, they’re quick, easy, and the recipe makes a perfect 5 portions––great for meal prepping for the week! Heat them up in the microwave and you have an easy hot breakfast. They may not be pancakes, but they sure are good. :)
Reaching protein goals on a vegan diet is actually way easier than you may think. It just takes a little more of paying attention to what foods are going to give you the most run for your money. This is my list of some vegan foods (both processed and whole plant foods––there’s no discrimination here!) that I use to hit my protein goals.
Ever go to a Japanese restaurant and order a salad? The ginger dressing they put on it always takes iceberg lettuce to another LEVEL. This vegan dressing is ridiculously easy to make, only 7 ingredients, and is done in minutes! Chop up some fresh lettuce, add some veggies, and pour this over it and you’ve got yourself a quick, fast, and flavorful dinner.
The January bitter cold has officially hit us here in Virginia, and whenever it gets super cold, all I crave is a warm bowl of soup. When it comes to soup, I like mine hearty and chunky. This Zuppa Toscana is perfect for a really cold night where all you want to do is curl up on the couch and watch movies. With hickory vegan bacon, meatless Italian sausage, and loads of fresh curly kale, this soup is sure to please.
These vegan greek tacos are high in plant protein and will be sure to satisfy your craving for Greek food! This recipe uses tempeh (fermented soybeans) which has great amounts of protein, is high in calcium, and also is rich in prebiotics which promotes healthy bacteria in your digestive system. Finish these tacos off with a sprinkle of dill and you have a perfect weeknight dinner!

Using only TVP (also known as textured vegetable protein), onion, and some household spices, you can have your own homemade vegan ground beef in less than 15 minutes! TVP is fairly cheap and goes a long way if you use it right. Super high in protein and low in fat––it’s essentially defatted soy flour––it is the perfect texture for making ground mock meats.
I love tangy and salty food. Olives? Pickles? Capers? I’m always in. Capers pair so well with lemon, since the salt and acid combine, and this vegan chicken piccata is no joke.
We just recently made a discovery that this sauce makes amazing vegan coleslaw. Hence, this recipe. Seriously––bring this stuff to a cookout, and no one will be able to tell the difference!
