The Best Vegan Lasagna!
Vegan Lasagna is a flavorful and hearty dish that’s packed with protein. Yes, it is vegan but even meat lovers will enjoy it! It’s layered with tender noodles, cashew ricotta cheese, marinara, spinach, and topped with mozzarella cheese. The recipe can be found here. The ricotta cheese is thick, creamy, and is a great recipe to use in lasagna, pasta, pizza, and more. I was skeptical when making the ricotta because this was my first attempt, but it did not disappoint. I didn’t know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised and admittedly didn’t know vegan cheese could taste this good! It was also very easy to make and only requires a few ingredients, most of which are pantry staples if you lead a vegan lifestyle. It has a lovely texture and amazing cheese flavor. The mozzarella is stretchy, creamy, and very smooth. It’s a wonderful substitute to dairy mozzarella! … 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

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

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

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls (Vegan Dish)
Cabbage rolls are a delicious dish consisting of cooked cabbage leaves that are wrapped around a variety of filling. They do require quite a bit of work to make so I thought why not make the same delicious dish in casserole form. No rolling, no stuffing, just mix and bake… This leaves you with Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls. I also wanted to make the dish vegetarian or vegan. In the case of this recipe, it is vegan, not just vegetarian. However, you can add ground meat to the recipe if you aren’t looking for vegan or vegetarian. The recipe can be found here. The first step is to cook the rice according to package instructions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9×13 pan with olive oil spray. Cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove the core and slice into strips. Also chop the onion and bell pepper. Drain and … Continue reading
