5-Minute Vegan Taco Salad (Video)

21 February, 202012 March, 2014 by Vegangela

Today I’m excited to be sharing something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: recipe videos! I created my VegangelaTV YouTube channel a few months ago with the goal of sharing quick and easy recipe ideas. For the first video, I decided to share my 5-Minute Vegan Taco Salad. It’s not really a recipe, but just something I throw together whenever I don’t feel like cooking, but still want something super tasty and healthy to eat. Take a look when you have a moment 🙂

This fresh tomato, basil and lemon zucchini pasta is a wonderfully fresh and fragrant dish. It’s another one of the great meals that my little mommy made for me when I was home last month.

If you’ve been following my last few posts, you’ll know that I’m currently on vacation in Ottawa Canada.

The best part of this roasted fresh tomato soup (other than the taste), is the aroma that will fill your home when making it!

Last night, dinner was taking longer than planned, so I needed a quick appetizer that I could quickly put together to fend-off starvation.

Minestrone Soup with Pesto

13 February, 202015 October, 2010 by Vegangela

My amazing mom has been making this vegan minestrone soup for years and it’s one of my all-time favorites. I love the chunkiness of the vegetables and it’s really more of a stew than a soup.
