Vegan Bobotie

I wasn’t sure what to make for dinner today because I ready need to go shopping so I took to Pinterest to save the day. I found this South African Bobotie and figured I had to give it a go with several substitutions to make it vegan. I used TVP, Oatmilk and Chickpea flour to…

Pumpkin Sage & Rosemary Loaf

I’ve really been trying to make bread lately, but I’m just not that good at it. I used to make Protein Loaves all the time using protein powders; mostly whey when I ate dairy products. Since it’s a little more challenging to make vegan protein loaves, I’ve been making lots of other things. It seems…

Chestnut Mushroom Bourguignon

We recently moved up to Palm City (just south of Stuart) and there’s this cute little Farmers Market on Sundays in Downtown Stuart. I discovered this booth that sells exotic mushrooms (at high dollar) so I figured I’d check out the actual location, in Port Saint Lucie. While the mushrooms are quite expensive, it’s so…

Smoky Black Eyed Peas & Greens

So I had set out to make this Smoky Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas and Greens, but had some different ingredients on hand and I’d made this wonderful Chestnut Mushroom Bourguignon the day before that kind inspired these changes to the original recipe, which has been tried and true by yours truly. Ingredients Directions: Prep all of…

Vegan Spanish Tortilla de Patata

I wasn’t sure if I wanted something savory or sweet for breakfast this morning but everything I can across just looked like so much work. I watched a video by one of my favorite bloggers and was inspired to make this. I didn’t feel like pulling out a whole block of silken tofu to only…

Vegan Chick’n (Air) Fried Steak

So I love Rabbit & Wolves’ blog for the creativity and all the flavor I. Every dish I’ve ever recreated but sometimes it just really complicated. I wasn’t sure at all what to cook last night and haven’t been to the store recently (heading there this morning). I needed to come up with a simple,…

Protein Twix

Probably one of the best things I’ve ever made. I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch! My husband’s sister came to visit us from Dubai and brought me these wonderful dates. It was a very large box so I’ve been trying to use them to make lots of different things. I got…

Single Serving Protein Cookie

So I saw on someone’s FB Story the other day ago that they had a “chocolate sesame soy sauce cookie” and said that it was delicious. Curious, I set out to give it a try. Since it sounded a little strange to me, I wanted to try to make just one. I used regular flour…

Fudgy Tahini Date Chocolate Bites

So I was on Pinterest and set out to make these Fudgy Tahini Date Chocolate Bars, but decided to kick it up with some protein and try to lower the calories. It ended up being so smooth, I just decided to roll it into balls and put it in the fridge. Perfecto. Ingredients: Directions: Literally…

Caju Seitan Steak

I’m pretty proud of how this “steak” came out and to be honest, it’s so “meaty” and hearty!! Using a special ingredient, Caju Love, you’ll be saying, “jackfruit what?”…. Ingredients: Directions: Mix all ingredients until well incorporated. Divide into 4 different patties or “steaks”. Wrap each one in parchment paper then in foil. Steam for…

Seitan “Turkey” Roast

So I wanted to try a new seitan recipe this thanksgiving but figured I’d test it out beforehand, so I was disappointed. Well I definitely wasn’t!! I plan on using this recipe and stuffing it to make a roast on Thursday and Now I can’t wait. This deliciousness calls for a secret ingredient: homemade pumpkin…

Moroccan Inspired Lentils

We were in the mood for some Lebanese or Mediterranean food today and tried making reservations but it seemed as though all of our local restaurants were closed on Mondays … must be a middle eastern thing. So in lieu of this craving, I decided to make something with what I had in the kitchen….

My favorite instant chili

Of course it’s vegan! I was looking for a good Frito Pie recipe but they all call for the beefless crumbles and I hate buying those when I don’t know all the ingredients and it’s so much cheaper to just buy TVP and spice it up yourself. So this weekend, I made some chili for…

Green Papaya Kootu

My mom gave me these green papayas from her tree quite a while ago, so long ago that we went on vacation and came back. I put them in the fridge so they didn’t go bad at all but also didn’t ripen at all. I set out to Pinterest to find a good idea. I…

Vegan Cajun Chick’n (w/ skin)

I am over the moon, pleased with this recipe! Using my favorite, banana peels, this creation is paired with rice paper to create a mock ‘skin’. The inside is such a great texture and the outside is pretty darn good too! So, without further ado… Ingredients: 1 cup (120 mL) Vital Wheat Gluten 3/4 cup…
