A guide to help you become healthier and happier
If you haven’t already checked out my Mac n’ Cheese Broccoli Bake then you’re missing out. This recipe is the same cheese sauce I used in that post…but I think a basic Mac n’ Cheese deserves its own post. It is just that good!
A gooey and ultra creamy cashew-based vegan cheese sauce with a hint of smokiness. The perfect 30-minute meal for a weeknight that will stun your family members and yourself. Can never go wrong with a bowl of mac n’ cheese. …
As summer approaches it is time to start making dinners with fresh summer veggies. Pesto immediately calls my name during this time of year. So what better way than to lather it on some flatbread, toss some veggies on, and sprinkle with a bit of zaatar…yes please!
The light, zesty, and creamy pesto pairs perfectly with the crispy chickpea flatbread. Topped with tender blanched asparagus and peas. Garnished with red pepper flakes, zaatar, and fresh crisp sprouts. …
I wasn’t always the biggest fan of eggplant until I went to an Egyptian restaurant recently. First of all, the food was amazing and second of all, I am now an eggplant fan because of them. They had an amazing eggplant dish consisting of a sweet tomato sauce, roasted eggplant, and veggies. It was amazing.
Of course, I had to recreate it at home and there are no complaints…I would dive straight into this dish anytime. Layered with flavorful sweet tomato sauce, roasted eggplant, hearty mushroom and veggie saute and topped with a creamy yogurt-based sauce. …
I don’t know why I haven’t posted this recipe already, because it has got to be one of my favorites. I created this chili about a year ago and I have not stopped making it. It has been a hit with all my friends and family.
Easy meals like this are always so comforting and it makes it even better when it is packed with nutritious vegetables, carbs, protein, and healthy fats! All you could ever need in a meal. The choice of spices elevates it from any old chili. And the variety of carbs makes you feel satisfied after eating a huge bowl!…
Ever crave spaghetti, but really miss enjoying the meatballs? Well, you would if you’re like me who is vegan and doesn’t eat meat. However, you do not need to miss out on food like that when there is an abundance of substitutes out there.
At first, I wanted to make a traditional vegan meatball with black beans and a grain, but I truly wanted it to taste like how I remembered it a few years ago.
You can easily find vegan ground beef at the supermarket. Spruce it up a bit with some fresh herbs and a binder and you got yourself meatballs that take you back before your meat-free days. …
Have you tried ever tried gnocchi? They are essentially light, fluffy pillows of potato goodness. Usually made with 2 ingredients: flour and potatoes.
I have made my own before and they turned out great, but to make this an easier recipe I used store-bought. Trust me, it was just as tasty! Tossed in a creamy roasted red pepper sauce and garnished with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes. …
Tofu often gets a bad rep in the vegan community. Bland, flavorless, and has a mouthfeel of a sponge. However, if you get the cook right and season it correctly it will taste amazing…like addicting amazing!
This tofu is crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Tossed in a sticky & thick sweet & sour glaze served over a slightly toasted veggie fried rice. This recipe is beyond simple and can easily be stored in your fridge to enjoy any time of the week. …
Whenever someone asks me what my favorite type of meal to cook is my answer is always tacos. Why? Because the combinations are endless, they are so easy, and always end up tasting absolutely delicious!
I already have a taco recipe on my blog w/ lentil meat, cashew sour cream, and a cilantro green sauce. So, if you haven’t already checked that out I encourage you to because it is definitely a hit!
These tacos take 30-minutes OR less and require easy readily available ingredients. The combination of the acidity from the slaw, the heartiness from the beans, and sauteed fajita veggies make for a mouthwatering delectable taco. …
I am definitely pasta obsessed, so when someone says creamy pasta I am all over it!
Pasta has such a bad rep in the health community as a bad carb. Let’s be real…carbs are good for you! A helping of complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and unrefined sugars are good for you!
What makes a pasta dish healthy is all in the sauce. Veer away from sauces loaded with cream, cheese, lots of salt, and saturated fat. This is a much healthier alternative to a traditional beef stroganoff. A creamy mushroom and cashew based sauce with bits of chewy seitan. …
I am always on the lookout for easy weeknight meals, so this is why I decided on creating a ramen recipe!
It does require some time, but the prep work and cooking are super simple! Chop up some veggies, simmer the broth, pour over ramen noodles, and top with whatever of your choosing. A rich creamy broth paired with miso glazed carrots and tempeh. Easy meals can taste good too!…
