This is another one of those, what’s in the fridge that would go together and be a healthy side, or be the main dish? Well, this is what I came up with and I can tell you I gave myself a pat on the back because this was delicious! My co-worker tried some and she said it was good too (since I’m a bit biased lol)
Sun-dried Tomato, Spinach & Pesto Pasta
This dish is simple, can be made in under 30 minutes and the leftovers make a delicious cold pasta salad! So make the whole recipe and eat it for DAYS lol. Well, depending how many servings you eat the first night.
The Story of Munchies with Love
I’m typing this, not even knowing if anyone will really read this whole thing, but I figured there’s been many folx who’ve been following my journey this last years and have seen me go through a dozen business plans, a bunch of pivots and then it all sort’ve faded out. So I’m here to share…
Zucchini Noodle Salad
I’ve been looking up recipes to learn how to do more raw foods as I may be preparing meals for a friend who wants to go raw vegan for a while. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that raw vegan isn’t really what I do – so I’m teaching myself some recipes and the other day I came up with this.
Spicy Sweet & Sour Chick’n Stir-Fry
I love stir-fry for dinner! Seriously, I make a stir-fry usually once a week. A big one, so I can have leftovers (something else I love!). When I discovered a forgotten bag of Butler Soy Curls in the back of the cupboard, the thoughts of what I could make started to grow. A giant stir-fry was the answer!!
Caramelized Onion Hummus
Hey there! You know what I was thinking the other day? That I’ve been making this basic hummus recipe for YEARS and I’ve never shared it anywhere! I try to make this often as it’s a great snack with some veggies or crackers and is an amazing source of protein!
EPIC PLANT-BASED BUNDLE SALE!!!!!
💚 I was honestly blown away by the offer to join this AMAZING opportunity!! Vegan Home Cooking, the e-book I wrote with recipes from myself and Dane Perrin (@getting_there_vegan ) has been included in this amazing BUNDLE! 💚
Green Curry Vegetables!
I really don’t know whether this dish should go by another name, but really, it’s vegetables with green curry so I guess it’s pretty straight forward when it comes to finding it a name! The main photo includes the Salt & Pepper Tofu I made (with puffed tofu!); I will share that recipe soon. It’s pretty straight forward, but I still want to get it just right before I share!
Munchie Nugs!
I love tofu. I love how versatile it is and how you can manipulate it to take on the flavours you give it!Â
Late night munchie balls…..
You get up to traipse through the kitchen to see what snack will satisfy your munchies….something sweet, something salty, something crunchy, something chocolate……..but what?? What do we have in the pantry??
Warm Kale Salad
Well, this recipe is really a better fit for the cold, winter months, but…..here in Ontario, we know that we will still have some chilly evenings ahead for another month or so, so you have lots of time to try it! Or, maybe you’re the type of person who likes warm salads in the summer. No judgement here. It’s all about the food afterall haha.
Vegan “Lobster” Roll
To avoid any confusion around this recipe, there is ZERO lobsters used in this recipe. This is a vegan alternative for those who might miss this dish. There’s been a lot of hoopla over wording of vegan food, so I wanted to clear up any potential issues 😉 I admit to having never had an…
Beyond Meatballs
When you’re craving a good ol’ traditional spaghetti dinner. Sometimes you just want some big ‘meatballs’ instead of a ‘meaty’ sauce and the stage was set! The only thing is, I have never made them!! I’ve only used store bought ones! The Yves brand has a pretty good meatless meatball and the IKEA veggie balls…
Vegan Spicy Chorizo Tacos!
The best part about this? I’ve NEVER eaten chorizo before – ever! So, this is another one of those, I’m guessing it tastes like the real thing but have no clue, so you let me know if have and try this!
Jalapeno Dressing!
On my last blog, this recipe was hidden inside a recipe for a rainbow salad. I don’t think I need to tell you how to make a salad. Wash and chop veggies and put in bowl. There, done! 😉 Â
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with a Coconut Garlic Thyme Sauce
That title is quite the tongue twister, isn’t it! I love me some gnocchi!! I do love it made with russet or just good ol baking potatoes, but I love it even more when it’s made with sweet potato! I make a big batch of the dough and cook half and freeze the other half…
Alfredo Pasta Sauce
I’m one of those eaters that texture plays a huge part in my likes and dislikes. For some reason, growing up, I never liked Alfredo sauce because it was so thick. It might have been my inner vegan screaming at me to not consume all that butter and heavy cream (I NEVER liked heavy cream
‘Beef’ and Broccoli
I haven’t eaten beef in over 20 years, but when I did, I LOVED beef and broccoli when we would order Chinese food. It was my mom’s favourite dish too.
BEST EVER Peanut Sauce
I mean, I might be a bit biased, but, as someone who loves peanut sauce and orders it as often as possible when I find it on a menu, I still think mine is the best hehe.
Eggless Salad Sandwich!
One of my favourite things about the warmer weather is making sandwiches to eat outside! And as a kid, egg salad sandwiches were on my list of favourites, but as I moved on my journey into vegetarianism, I ate them less, then when I really forced myself to learn the horrific truth of the chicken/egg industry, I was done. Full stop.
Fried Mushroom Sandwich!
When you get creative on a Friday night after having a craving for vegan junk food delivery!
Vegan Butter Tarts!!
This recipe is 100% delicious!!! I’m hoping to figure out a gluten-free version to match the deliciousness, lol, but until then, those who can consume it, this is the recipe you want in your collection!!!
Chick’un and Waffles!
This version is vegan and gluten-free! The chick’un is made from oyster mushrooms and the waffles are made with Bob’s Gluten-free 1-1 flour.
Chipless Nachos!
Here’s another simple and delicious recipe. A plant-filled plate of nachos!
EPIC MUNCHIES SALAD!
I didn’t know what else to call this, so went with Epic Munchies Salad – because this was Epic! And was created when the munchies attacked haha!
Sticky Sesame Cauliflower ‘Wing’ Stir-fry Bowl
A delicious bowl of popping flavours, packed with nutrition!
VEGAN SMOOTHIE and YOGURT BOWLS
Smoothie & Yogurt Bowls
Vegan sushi
I’ve never been a fan of raw fish, even when I was a meat eater. So whenever I went for sushi, I often only ordered the vegetarian rolls. However, the one seafood one I did enjoy was the spicy crab roll, and for some strange reason, I’ve been craving it lately!!! Then one night last…
Saag Paneer (using tofu)
I love love Indian food. I don’t make it often, especially with my partner not liking it. But some nights when he’s working late, I get to whip some up! So tonight, I borrowed a recipe from one of my favourite food blogs, hotforfood, and made some Butter Chik’un (I used Farm Boy chickenless nuggets)…
Rich and Creamy, Dairy-free Scalloped Potatoes
You read that right. I’ll start out apologising, because if yours tastes as good as when I made it, you’ll most likely eat way more of this dish then you should because it is so damn good. One of my favourite meals when I was a child was baked ham and scalloped potatoes. Since I’ve…
Chickpea Tikka Masala….a spin off
I say this is a spin off because most recipes don’t call for coconut milk, but I use it as I love the flavour and colour it adds! You can decide if you want to use it or not. I’m a huge lover of Indian cuisine; it has so many vegan options without trying! A…
French French Toast!
No, that’s not a typo! I made a loaf of french bread in my bread maker and used it for French Toast! But wait, isn’t French Toast made by dipping eggs in milk & eggs? Traditionally, yes! But this super easy to whip up recipe will not only give you tasty French Toast, you’ll be…
Black Bean Taquitos with 2 Dairy-Free Cremas: Avocado and Cilantro
This was from the first time I prepared food for someone else’s party – and left it there!! I can say for certain I was pretty stressed about it. But it was a good stress. It’s definitely a different kind of stress then I’m used to! I just think back on my summer working in…
Spicy Crispy Chik’n…………or something!
I have a confession. When I used to eat chicken, my favourite part was the crispy skin. Even after I stopped eating chicken, I would crave that part. The thought disgusts me now; however when I thought of trying to figure out how to veganize that skin, it intrigued me! I read a few recipes…
Smoooooooothies
I know this page is somewhat geared towards “junk food”, but you’ve got to get some healthy stuff into you somehow. Smoothies are a great way to pack a bunch of nutrients and goodies into. You know, so you can eat the junk food later!! There are so, so many ways to make smoothies, some…
Pad Thai!!
My next few posts are going to include Asian dishes. I’m a huge fan of Asian foods, and as someone who spent 20 years as a vegetarian, Asian restaurants and recipes were always easy to navigate. I mentioned it briefly on the satay post, but I lived in Singapore for a year when I was…
A tasty little side dish to add to your BBQ…..
King Oyster Mushroom Satays with Spicy Peanut Sauce! Sorry-not-sorry, this dish is healthy! But it’s soooooooooo good. I can’t wait to get more propane (It’s been a week!), so I can make these again! They are healthy and a good source of lots of nutrients. So if you don’t want to munch out on junk…
