Even though I love tofu in any form, I love finding new ways to make it that can please any palate. This Smoked Garlic Tofu is crispy, flavorful, and super quick to make. I love to eat this in a whole wheat wrap with my Sweet & Tangy Coleslaw and some extra veg. You can also throw this tofu in a salad or slice it thin and sear it to make smoked tofu steaks. Any which way you make it, I hope you’ll fall in love with tofu like I have.
Potatoes are life. There—I said it! For a healthy dose of carbs and comfort food combined, these Vegan Mashed Potato Bowls really hit the spot! They’re perfect for cozy winter nights when you just want some food that feels like a warm hug. Collard greens, creamy Yukon gold potatoes, and a savory vegan gravy make this a winter weeknight winner.
Hearty winter soups––what more could a girl want? (Maybe a side of cornbread to go with…) Boil a pot of this White Bean & Kale Soup and you’ll be warm and toasty! This soup is entirely vegan and can be made oil & salt free, if you wish. It also acts more like a stew. The trick to the creamy broth? Potatoes!
I don’t know about you, but with so much uncertainty in the world, I’ve been wanting quick, easy, and lazy vegan meals to put together for lunches or dinner. Noodles, especially ramen, are such a comfort food for me. I loved eating ramen noodles growing up, and now that I’m an adult, eating ramen brings back all those comforting feelings. This recipe is a ridiculously easy vegan lunch idea and is so flavorful! Try these easy vegan ramen noodles for lunch or for an elevated take on dinner.
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. :)
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.
Food experiments stress me out. That’s why I was SO excited when I tried my own vegan kimchi recipe and it worked!
Here it is folks… my vegan mac and cheese recipe! I’m all about the flavor when it comes to mac and cheese, and I personally feel like baking it really brings the cheesy flavors out. And guess what? This recipe is nut free! No expensive cashews in sight here.
Sadly, salad is often used as a joke around vegans, since in some cases when eating out, it’s our only option. Restaurants may not quite know how to make a great salad, but if you’re at home, a salad has so many creative culinary options, it’s almost more exciting than any other dish. It can be whatever you want it to be! I think of a salad as a meal, not a side dish. Once you change your mindset, salad-making becomes an art.
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!
So, I love salad. I love salad so much that you’ll probably see a lot of salad recipes on the blog. This salad, however, is one of the best. (FYI, I say this about every salad–you’ll learn.) Stay tuned for a later post on how to make the ultimate salad. For now, check out this really nice asian inspired salad.
Tacos are like a blank slate for me. With all the filling and topping combinations, you can virtually make them any way you want! Plus, the ingredients are so cheap, they’re great if you want a big meal on a budget.
This is a super easy weeknight meal and something I always fall back on when I want a quick, healthy, and filling dinner! You can definitely play around with variations on veggie add-ins, spices on your tofu, or rice noodles instead of rice. Lots of room for experimentation here!
Now, this is a dish I will literally never get sick of! Sushi is a sort of comfort food to me and once I discovered how easy it is to make your own, its become a regular dinner for me.
