A collection of original vegan recipes that I’ve created…
This raw vegan Alfredo sauce with zucchini noodles is rich, creamy and better yet, ready in under 30 minutes. And because it’s raw, it’s also naturally gluten-free! I’ve made a few raw dishes in the past that tasted rather bland or seemed like too much effort. This recipe is different because it’s super easy and … Read more
This rich yet refreshing, almost raw, gluten-free and 100% vegan key lime cheesecake is the perfect summer treat. This recipe is based on Allyson @ Manifest Vegan’s Pretty Darn Raw Vegan Cheesecake. Ever since making my first raw vegan cheesecake, I’ve been thinking about making a key lime version. The slight coconut flavor and taste … Read more
My mom makes a killer Caesar salad and it was one my favorite dishes growing up. She left the anchovies out of it for me when I went vegetarian, but when I went vegan a couple years later, it was “bye bye Caesar salad” for me. Over the years, I played around with various ingredients … Read more
This week, I had a lot of fresh beetroot on hand so I decided to make Vegan Borscht (beetroot soup) for the first time. I love making fresh soups, because other than eating veggies straight-up, I find that a homemade soup is the best way to bring-out the great flavor of fresh vegetables. Nothing is … Read more
This quick & easy tofu sandwich is satisfying and takes next to no time to make. It’s vegan and can easily be made gluten-free! I started making this tofu sandwich back in high school, and although I don’t consider it a real “recipe”, it’s something that I make from time to time when I’m craving … Read more
Warning: this is another post for mushroom-lovers. If you’re not a fan of them, then you may want to escape to chocolate-land and forget that you ever saw this. Ok, onto the fungi. Once again, I have gone overboard at the farmer’s markets, and last week I found myself with way too many mushrooms. What can I … Read more
I cooked up a storm last week and I have a lot of yummy recipes coming, but in the meantime, I wanted to post this quick snack that I made the other day. I love popcorn and came up with this recipe after reading about a few truffle butter recipes online. Everything is better with … Read more
Yesterday, I happened upon a package of puff pastry dough in my freezer and decided that it was about time that I use it. The other items in my fridge and pantry inspired me to come up with this vegan quiche, which was really yummy and which I’ll definitely make again. I used a lot … Read more
This quinoa-stuffed butternut squash is the perfect Thanksgiving / holiday recipe. The butternut squash is stuffed with fragrant quinoa, spinach, mushrooms and pecans. Background – Quinoa-Stuffed Butternut Squash Recipe When One Green Planet approached me last week and and asked if I could submit an original vegan Thanksgiving recipe, I jumped at the chance. Although … Read more
Vegan MoFo #16 – It might seem weird, but in all my years as a vegan, I’ve never made stuffed mushrooms. There’s no particular reason, as I love mushrooms and especially the earthy, hardiness of portabellos. I just never got around to it. However this week, I bought a large box of “baby bellas”, so … Read more
Continuing with my tropical theme this week, here’s a yummy tropical tapioca pudding recipe. I’ve named it “Drunk Pineapple Coconut Tapioca Pudding” because the pineapple is sautéed in dark rum. I especially like serving this after Indian or Thai food. The cool, creamy texture is refreshing after a spicy meal, and the tropical fruits compliments … Read more
Last night, dinner was taking longer than planned, so I needed a quick appetizer that I could quickly put together to fend-off starvation. I had some cherry tomatoes on hand, as well as some frozen vegan pesto, so I decided to combine the two. I originally thought of slicing the tomatoes in two and placing the … Read more
I came up with this salt & pepper tofu recipe after eating something very similar at my local Thai restaurant. The tofu has a crispy exterior and soft middle – and the lemon and salt pair so well with the fresh coriander (cilantro) and red bell peppers (capsicum). I submitted this salt & pepper tofu … Read more
