June 5, 2018 by healthienut 5 Comments

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. …

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. …

When I was little I was obsessed with strawberry shortcake…and I still am. It is not a typical breakfast food, but when you makeshift it into a stack of pancakes, well I am all over it.

These uber fluffy buttermilk pancakes are topped with a rich & creamy vanilla bean cream & sweet roasted strawberries. It definitely is a treat, but so worth it!…

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!
