Food Inspo: Spicy Indian chickpea + cauliflower tacos
Spicy Indian chick pea + cauliflower tacos served with cooling cabbage and cucumber mint sauce for a little Taco Tuesday. I don’t have an exact recipe but for the taco base I do know I roasted an entire small head of cauliflower separately on 425 until fork tender. Before throwing the cauliflower in the oven, […]
Cherry Lemonade – Refined Sugar-Free
Is it ever really summer without lemonade? Or cherries for that matter? Truth be told, I hardly ever have lemonade anymore because I am too busy trying to get in my gallon of water a day or drinking a morning smoothie. I really try to watch my sugar intake because it makes me feel so […]
Food Inspo: Southwest Veggie Burger
A delicious burger night can come together in a pinch with Gardein products like their veggie burger. You can also use their black bean burger or their meatless beef patty. Top it with avocado and sriracha mayo as shown here and serve on a sesame seed bun with a side of grilled smoked paprika potatoes. […]
Food Inspo: Breakfast Sundaes
Sunday’s family breakfast sundaes – chocolate nicecream with whipped topping, chocolate sauce, salted caramel sauce, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and a cherry on top. Everything was made from nothing but fruit and nuts, and refined sugar-free. A touch of maple syrup in the chocolate sauce is as nefarious as it got and no animals were […]
Food Inspo: Stone Fruit Galettes
It was a dreadfully rainy day so I thought that called for stone fruit galettes. Peach and cherry almond that obviously won’t last long. I followed the recipe on Food 52 for the crust but substituted Earth Balance vegan butter sticks, I used 2 sticks with 2 ½ cups of flour. Once the crust was prepared […]
Healthy Fudge Pops – Vegan
We’ve been hooked since my first batch of veganized fudge pops but I just don’t like the way refined sugar effects me and the thought of giving it to my son with any regularity, just doesn’t sit right. I want to indulge but not hate myself afterwards and I like having treats in the house […]
Food Inspo: Vegan Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Just a light lunch: Grilled CHAO cheese with Oh She Glows tomato bisque (from the cookbook) sprinkled with homemade parm. Cheese on cheese. Being vegan doesn’t have to be hard, see my list of favorite vegan convenience foods. No need to give up the comforts you enjoy, they’ve been veganized!
Vegan Fudge Pops
Just a few years ago, I only knew how to do two things in the kitchen: preheat an oven for frozen pizza and whip up the best boxed macaroni and cheese. I could combine that pasta with the orange powdered concoction like nobody’s business. But I recently remembered a time back then that I had […]
Tofu Scramble
Tofu, man. My relationship with the stuff has done a 180 over the years. It was one of those things that during my pre-vegan days, I just couldn’t stomach the texture, even if it was crispy fried or small unnoticeable bits in something like Pad Thai. I think a good portion of that was due […]
