Vietnamese Bahn Mi Bowls (Vegan+GF)
I’m trying to figure out why our Summer here seems to have gone on vacation. The weather forecast for this week is cold and rainy even though it’s freaking July. I guess it’s better than the alternative of scorching heat, but it’s kinda depressing. What’s not depressing though, is this recipe…. Ok, before you say anything, I’m completely aware that this bowl doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. Bahn mi actually means “bread” in Vietnamese so not having bread is a kind of like missing the point and insulting this Vietnamese classic. In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t do well with rules and I just don’t feel like following any when…

Un-fried Veggie Stir-Fry Rice (Vegan+GF)
Is it finally almost over, the craziness? This year has been anything but expected and I’m sure we’re all eager to return to whatever “normal” we left behind a few months ago. On the upside, I’ve definitely been able to spend more time on the blog than I could’ve imagined. I haven’t created so many recipes in a long time. I’ve actually been trying to look at this situation in the best, most positive light. I feel very fortunate to be in a position where I can work from home during all of this. Yes, I’ve missed socializing with friends and I’ll be very happy to get that back, but this time has…

Cheesy Broccoli “Cheddar” Pizza (Vegan+GF)
Happy whatever today is. Is this mess of a month over yet? Okay, well maybe some homemade pizza will help us get through. Ever since I’ve been plant-based I’ve discovered that there are a few standard questions to expect when talking about it with others. Numero uno; “Where do you get your protein?”. Second; “Don’t you miss cheese? I mean bacon tho!?!?”. Third; “Is your whole family vegan?” All of which send me into a fit of laughter, especially three. Let’s just say that I’m the only one in my family who eats this way and they all basically think I’m crazy even though I’m very happy about it. So I was informed…

Indian Red Lentil Dahl (Vegan+GF)
I’ve got a new one today, something I’ve actually never made before. I know it’s kind of a love it or hate it type of food, but I love pretty much any Indian dish. When I was a younger my family never really liked it so I didn’t make it much. Of course, now it’s like a staple when I’m batch cooking for just me or me and my roomies. This dish is great to make ahead because it almost gets better next day. Curries are something that I make all the time but I’ve never made a dahl (also spelled dal or daal). If you’ve never tried it either you might be…

Make dinner easy tonight with this ramen upgrade. Forbidden black rice ramen combined with tofu and vegetables makes this a healthy, easy meal. This post is all about vegan black rice ramen Ramen, it’s comfort food beloved worldwide by college students, struggling creatives, and everyone who hates cooking. It’s quick, easy, salty, and so comforting, but I think we can all agree it’s not exactly the healthiest option. In a time like this though, when the world is a little bizarre, ramen is probably acting as a staple for more than a few. Besides, today we’re talking about a pretty healthy upgrade from your standard nineteen cent bowl of noodle soup. I’m always…

Easy White Bean Herb & Vegetable Soup (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a very grey week so far and I’m feeling like a warm comforting soup is in order today. Well, if the recent state of grocery shelves are any indication, there are a lot of people with a lot of beans right now. Hey, I’m not complaining about it, I think it’s pretty awesome actually. Beans are an extremely healthy staple food that seem to get ignored under most circumstances. Let’s just count it as one of the positive side-effects from this crazy time, beans finally getting the appreciation they deserve. Another positive side-effect is that way more people are in their kitchens cooking instead of eating out all week. I’d say…
