Everyone once and a while I have a really hunkering for Chinese food. It’s one of those things that I grew up having on occasional Friday nights with my family, so sometimes I miss it. I created this really quick, oil free dish that really hits the spot when I get one of those cravings! The recipe can really be used with most any vegetables you have on hand, but…
Meatlessballs, are another crowd pleaser that you can proudly serve to anyone! Especially to friends and family who are transitioning, or even those who don’t (yet!) eat a plant based diet. My family is used to getting together and celebrating over an italian feast, and for my Dad, that always included meatballs. He went fully plant based earlier this year though, and I wanted to make him a replacement to…
My new, latest obsession is pickled red onions. They are so easy to make and really add a lot of flavor to salads, tacos, avocado toast, sandwiches or whatever you put them on! I got the idea from my favorite local restaurant, The Lovin Oven. They add it as a garnish to their vegan burrito and my boys and I just love them! I decided since we love them so…
We love this stir fry recipe in our house! It’s a fairly easy to make on a week night, and can really satisfy my craving for Thai take out. The most time consuming part is chopping all of the vegetables, and it’s really not so bad… The roasted cashews add a lot of flavor. A LOT! So don’t skip that step, it’s totally worth it, and really makes the dish. Oh, and the…
My kids love going out for Indian food, but for some reason, never like my Indian inspired dishes at home. I finally have a winner! I realized I need to add potatoes (apparently, they love any dish with potatoes) and I need to blend my stewed tomotoes so there are no chunks. My kids are not picky eaters by any means and will usually anything, so when one tells me…
I love this recipe because it is fairly simply to make and tastes so good! I got the recipe from Lindsay Nixon’s Happy Herbivore email newsletter. She emailed out a whole bunch of Super Bowl recipes around Super Bowl Sunday, so when we were invited to a party at my brother’s I knew I had to give it a try. Everyone loved it! I doubled the recipe and made…
This cereal is a sweet, tasty breakfast treat that everyone seems to like! I usually make a double batch of it so we can just heat it up quickly on busy school mornings. I got the recipe from Dr. Fuhrman’s email newsletter a couple of years back, but it can also be found in his book Super Immunity. A few notes about the ingredients: * Make sure you use short…
Dr. Fuhrman emailed out this recipe in his newsletter and I was really excited to try it! When the weather gets cold, I really enjoy really hot, comfort food and I think this recipe satisfies both while being totally plant based. His recipe can be found here. Enjoy! We loved this recipe and all four of us almost ate the entire thing for dinner one night! Lentil Shepherd’s pie…
This recipe is slightly modified from a recipe I found from Vegan Lunchbox blogger Jennifer Schmoo (recipe here). It’s a great recipe for around the holidays and a real crowd pleaser! It is fairly easy too, the only time consuming part is separating the leaves of cabbage. Makes: 10 cabbage rolls Prep Time: 45 min (not including cooking the rice) Cook Time: 50 min Ingredients: 1 cup walnuts 1 cup…
This apple strudel is from the Eat to Live Cookbook by Dr. Joel Fuhrman on p. 285. It is a great dessert and a real crowd pleaser! I don’t have pictures of it after we cooked it because we ate it up too fast! Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes (a little longer if you don’t have an apple peeler) Cook Time: 1 hour Ingredients: 1/2 cup vanilla almond, soy…
