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…
This open face jackfruit BBQ sandwich was SO delicious!! What is Jackfruit? It’s a fruit. Seriously, look it up. When it’s fully ripe it’s sweet, and I’ve heard it somewhat resembles pineapple. When it’s young, or not yet fully ripe, it’s not as sweet, has a mild flavor, and great texture that makes it a really good substitute for beans, lentils, tofu, and even meat in many dishes. It works perfectly in…
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…
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…
The recipe is only slightly modified from The Kitchn’s Best-Ever Veggie Burger (recipe here). Serves: 6 Prep Time: 30 min (not included roasting the beats and cooking the rice) Cook Time: 15 min Ingredients: 3 large red beets (cooked-roasted, steamed, or boiled) 1/2 cup brown rice (slightly overcooked) 1 medium yellow onion, diced small 3-4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp cider vinegar 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (ground to a flour in a…
I was really craving some Thai food one night, so I decided to try this dish for the first time. I thought it was really easy to make and tasted really good! Yum!! Lots of good flavors in there! I used a recipe I found in the Happy Herbivore abroad book that we just got, but modified it a bit. These dishes could definitely be made together, but since it…
Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated or involved to be healthy and delicious. This is much more typical of what we eat for dinner on a daily basis. The ingredients change all the time. Sometimes it’s over romain lettuce, other times it will be over steamed kale, baby spinach, mixed field greens, or any other greens or lettuce. The elements are what’s important. I always try to include beans, onions,…
My kids will devour a salad at the Thai restaurant, mostly because of the Thai peanut salad dressing. I would like them to eat just as much salad at home, so I’ve been experimenting at making a healthier version. I think I have got it! Everyone at home loves this dressing and it is very easy to make too! We keep the salad dressing in the fridge for about a…
