I was gifted a block of vegan Parmesan from Violife, all the way from Greece! A creamy risotto was just begging for it. I veganized this recipe by using vegetable broth, Earth Balance butter, vegan wine, and Violife, with some additional minor adjustments. The Violife melted divine, but you can use your favorite vegan shreds until […]
There really isn’t much difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl other than the serving dish and a little less liquid. But something about eating a smoothie from a bowl makes it feel like more of a special treat. My favorite is a combination of frozen cherries, banana, a medjool date, coconut, and rice […]
Eating vegan doesn’t have to be a chore or boring. With Gardein’s Meatless balls found in many grocery freezers in the natural foods section, you can whip together the comfort food you already love. Simmered in your favorite sauce and topped with Follow Your Heart shredded mozzarella, these mini-subs are impossible to resist.
Oh my, this soup is everything. I can’t think of a more comforting combo for a cold winter’s day than bean and vegan sausage and such a wonderful mix of flavors like fennel and sundried tomatoes, a slight nod to my Italian heritage. This comes from the kitchen of Compassionate Cuisine, the culinary program from Catskill Animal […]
I’ve mentioned before, and you are most likely are already aware, but by throwing frozen banana slices into a food processor, it will turn into a soft serve ice cream made from just that one ingredient. Delicious as is, but don’t stop there! Mix in some cacao or cocoa powder and frozen cherries, maybe a […]
Every Friday, we treated ourselves to Chipotle after my son’s parkour practice. A little too often, for my own liking but what’s a busy parent to do?When Chipotle started having the widespread e.Coli trouble at the end of 2015, we thought it was a good time to take a break and not a moment […]
This was my version of the gluten-free cake by Call Me Cupcake. I modified it a bit and made the filling with chocolate hazelnut and used an oreo-like crust with vegan Newman-O’s. It was as good as it sounds, quite the hit! Someday I plan to write out the exact steps for my modified version but […]
You can’t go a day on Instagram without seeing someone’s take on the glorious avocado toast. It’s something that comes together in a pinch but feels so much fancier than the effort would otherwise imply. Toppings are endless and you can slice and fan it or mash it. But I highly recommend serving it with […]
One of our favorite, most often repeated meals for any occasion whether it’s hosting a crew of 10 year old boys, being snowed in during a blizzard, or just because it’s Monday – we love our nacho nights. This vegan queso by Detoxinista was one of the first vegan recipes I made and was introduced to […]
I’ll never stopped being amazed that you can throw some fruit and nuts into a food processor and end up with dessert! I used strawberry-banana nicecream as the filling part, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. For the crust I threw a big handle of nuts, it was a mixture of walnuts, almonds, and […]
