(Vegan) Grilled Kabobs
It’s a great time of year to break out the grill and spend more time outdoors enjoying a meal. Kabobs are a quick and easy meal to make and are very customizable; you can add any meat, vegetable, or seasoning of your choice. We make kabobs more often than I want to admit because they are so simple! Today I want to share with you 2 recipes for vegetarian/vegan kabobs. The first is Grilled Jackfruit & Vegetable Kabobs and the second is Grilled Vegetable Kabobs. Both are packed with tender vegetables, are healthy for you, and incredibly tasty to eat. Even if you aren’t vegetarian or vegan, you will enjoy these kabobs. They also make a great side dish for any other grilled meal; pair a vegetable kabob with a juicy hamburger or chicken breast. For the Grilled Jackfruit & Vegetable Kabobs, I chose to use bell peppers (in multiple … Continue reading

Have you ever had a spring roll before? If not, I’m sure you’ve noticed them on menus or seen pictures online.

They are also vegetarian/vegan and oh so healthy. The recipe I want to share with you today is for Vegetable Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce. These make a great lunch, dinner, or appetizer. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the rice paper package…and maybe make a practice roll to familiarize yourself with the texture and feel of the rice paper 🙂 The taste is so light and refreshing!

Creative Cauliflower Meals
When most people think of cauliflower, they probably don’t get excited. It’s just another vegetable with a bland flavor…blah blah blah…but it’s so much more! It’s packed with fiber and B-vitamins, is incredibly versatile, and is one of my favorite vegetables to create meals with. You can create a full meal with one head of cauliflower. Roast it, put it in soup, make pizza crust or rice, etc. I however, like to make Chinese inspired dishes with cauliflower. We did “Chinese Food Week” at our house and created some amazing meals! You can’t tell the difference in the substitution of vegetable for meat, and the flavors were out of this world. These make great Meatless Monday meals, are all vegetarian, and are also vegan. We made the following dishes. Recipes and instructions for each are below. Cashew Cauliflower Kung Pao Cauliflower Orange Glazed Cauliflower Sticky Sesame Cauliflower Sweet & Sour … Continue reading

Potato Tacos with Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce
Potato Tacos with Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce are a delight! They are vegetarian as well as vegan, so they make the perfect meal for Meatless Monday (or any day of the week). Plus, they are delicious! And who doesn’t love tacos? The Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce is a wonderful condiment for these tacos. It add a citrusy, tangy, flavor to the tacos. You’ll have plenty of leftover sauce as well to enjoy later in the week on more tacos, rice, chicken, salad, etc. The recipe can be found here. Start by making the Jalapeno Cilantro Sauce. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend on high until smooth; jalapeno, cilantro, garlic cloves, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, vegan mayo, and salt. I like to lightly chop the jalapeno and cilantro, and mince the garlic before adding it to the food processor so it’s easier to blend. I … Continue reading

Vegan Vegetable Noodle Soup
Vegan Vegetable Noodle Soup is packed with fresh vegetables and is incredibly tasty and healthy. It’s a spin on traditional chicken noodle soup but without the chicken. Don’t let the word vegan scare you away. Yes, this is a vegan dish, but it is also vegetarian, meatless, and delicious, so give it a try! If you are missing the chicken texture in each bite, add some chickpeas. You can also mix and match the vegetables to your liking or to use up anything you have on hand. The recipe can be found here. Start by prepping the vegetables. I like to chop everything ahead of time to make assembly easier once I start cooking. Slice the carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Mince the garlic. You can also play around with quantities. If you like carrots but not celery, add more carrots and less celery. You want to enjoy the soup … Continue reading

Greek Lemon Rice with Chickpeas
Greek Lemon Rice with Chickpeas is an amazing one-pot dish! It is full of great Mediterranean flavors and is packed with so many herbs and veggies. You’ll think you’re somewhere warm and sunny when eating this dish 🙂 The recipe can be found here. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make sure you have a large ovenproof skillet to use. You will start by heating ingredients on the stove and will eventually move the skillet into the oven, so you want to make sure you are using something rated for oven use. I used a large cast iron skillet, but a Dutch Oven would also work well. Prep all of your ingredients. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, drain and rinse the chickpeas, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, chop the dill, slice the lemon, slice the olives, and slice the tomatoes. Whew! I think that covers it all! Set all the … Continue reading

Fresh Vegetable Soup
Fresh Vegetable Soup is vibrant, hearty, and full of fresh, wholesome flavors. It’s perfect for lunches, cold winter nights, rainy nights, or anytime you are looking for a delicious homemade meal! This soup will fill you up without the “heavy, too full” feeling. The recipe can be found here. I like to use frozen corn because I think it tastes better than canned corn, but you can use either. If you are using frozen corn, start by cooking the corn according to package instructions. If you are using canned corn, drain and set aside. Next, chop the onion, carrot, tomato, bell peppers, and zucchini. Peel and chop the potato. Mince the garlic. I like to do all my prep work before I start cooking so it doesn’t slow me down once ready to assemble! Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. You will be … Continue reading

Fajita / Burrito Bowls
Fajita or Burrito Bowls are a super simple, healthy, and filling dinner that come together in little to no time! I personally like how tasty and customizable they are. You can make them ahead of time, double the recipe to have leftovers, add and any vegetables or toppings you choose. My version of a Fajita Veggie Bowl is incredibly easy to make! You start by making a batch of rice, either white or brown, whichever you prefer. While the rice is cooking, slice a few bell peppers and a large onion. I like to use 2 different colors of bell peppers and a white onion. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onion and sauté until tender. Add a packet of fajita seasoning to the skillet along with 1 cup of water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer to allow the liquid … Continue reading

Creamy Hummus Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes
Creamy Hummus Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes is something we tried recently. We both like pasta and we both like hummus, so why not try them together, right? It’s savory, delicious, and light. You’ll be satisfied without the heavy feeling of being too full. The hummus replaces traditional pasta sauce, so you have a creamy and slightly nutty flavored sauce. The sun dried tomatoes are roasted with garlic so they are tender and give off great flavor. This recipe is a winner in our house! The recipe can be found here. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil and cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining, then set the reserved water and noodles aside. In a large skillet, heat the sun dried tomato oil over medium heat. Add the sun dried tomatoes and garlic, and sauté for about … Continue reading

Instant Pot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (Vegan)
Looking for a warm, healthy, and filling breakfast on a cold winter morning? Look no further than Instant Pot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal! It cooks up perfectly in little to no time, only takes one pot, and will leave you feeling very cozy 🙂 It’s the perfect combination of warm and fluffy oatmeal, apples, and cinnamon. Even better, the recipe is vegan, if you lead a vegan lifestyle. The recipe can be found here. Start by chopping the apples into small pieces. You essentially want to dice the apples. A portion of the apples are going into the oatmeal to cook in the Instant Pot. The rest of the apples will be used as topping. Add the oats, almond milk, 2 of the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg to the Instant Pot (this is where the one-pot concept comes in). I use old fashioned oats, but you … Continue reading
