Spicy Kale Salad!

NEW MONICA! via GIPHY It's amazing the stuff I can learn on Twitter. Someone posted a thread asking about the best salad recipes and well, I love myself a good salad. I found this one that I normally would've ignored but it looked promising with some ingredients I've never tried before. YOLO, right? Introducing Spicy Kale Salad. What's different about this recipe is that there are no measurements. Seriously, I

Tempeh Taco Salad

I know, I know... It's been a hella long time since I posted anything vegan on here. Laziness is really the excuse. Now that's out of the way, lol, let me talk to you about a recipe I just found - tempeh tacos. I noticed a lot of vegan recipes use a lot of the same ingredients - tofu, tempeh, and jackfruit - in various forms. While it might be exciting at

Vegan Chilaquiles

  I decided to try something different for my vegan tastes. (For those new to the blog, I'm not vegan but I do make a lot of plant-based and vegan dishes because my body likes it). I really did like this recipe, though I thought the sodium content was a wee bit high for my taste (and I didn't use that much salt). I did make it a little more spicy

A New Twist to Your Avocado Toast

Okay, so I'll admit - I never had avocado toast. I never had any interest. While I can see the hype of it and how certain restaurants are making an absolute killing of them, I don't see how anyone can pay for it. For one, I can make it at home. And two, well, I have a hard time shelling out $10+ for something I can, well, make at home.

What the JackFruit?!

I'll be very clear - I'm not vegan. I have no desire to become vegan, but I do have a lot of respect of those who are vegan. And I have to admit - vegan food has definitely benefited my health. I've lost weight, I have more energy, and I feel better overall. That's why I keep preparing vegan dishes and sharing with you all what I find or

These Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos Are Kinda Yum

I have to admit - I was never a fan of cauliflower. Not that it grossed me out (okay, maybe it did) but it wasn't something that was on my go-to to eat as a kid or even when I entered adulthood. Even now, I'm still kinda iffy about cauliflower despite eating it more than I ever have been. But you can always teach an old dog new tricks, right? I

Vegan Side Dish – Sautéed Red Chard

Sometimes, it's hard to eat your veggies when you simply don't have time to prepare them. While I have been at fault for buying ready-made veggie sides (and really, there's nothing wrong with that because you're still getting your vegetables), I really prefer to use fresh whenever I can. We were introduced to red chard many years ago when our then-next door neighbor had leftovers of a food delivery service

You Must Try This Vegan Curry!

Sometimes it's complicated to find a tasty homemade vegan recipe. I mean, let's face it, how many times can you fry, bake, puree, and toast tofu? However, there are always exceptions to every rule. I found this recipe and was eager to try it. I had many of the ingredients already on hand and only had to pick up a few at the grocery store. I even took numerous photos

Vegan Collard Greens

I'm not sure if I posted this recipe before but I have to say when some things are made accidentally, they can sometimes be the best results. Last Thanksgiving as I was preparing a meal for my family, I decided to make collard greens. I haven't made collard greens in forever and I legit forgot how much time it takes. Between the washing and soaking (and more washing and soaking),

This Just Might Be the Best Vegan Spaghetti Sauce You’ll Ever Taste

And I totally came up with it! I love making homemade spaghetti sauce for the simple fact it's healthier and I know what's in it. Nothing against those who buy the store kind (that's good, too), but you know when you make something homemade, you didn't put any extra preservatives and other crap in it. You know it's fresh and hopefully, yummy. So, I usually make the spaghetti sauce with the
