Crispy Cereal Bars
Cereal is by far my favorite thing to eat; be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack time. I rejoiced and sang the highest of all praises when I found out Fruity Pebbles were vegan friendly. Next to Captain Crunch (which is also vegan friendly *dabs*) Fruity Pebbles were my childhood favorite. Another childhood favorite I'm sure most of us still love is the classic Rice Krispy Treat. Here's a Rice Krispy Treat x Fruity Pebble mix to send you into a fit of nostalgia. The best p

Chicken Chardonnay
I've been searching high and low for a suitable chicken breast substitute. Of course, I could try whipping one up from scratch (and, I will) but, I don't always have enough time. Last week, I discovered Gardein Chick'n Scallopini in the freezer aisle and decided to test it out! I recently went through a demo of chicken chardonnay in culinary school, and, I decided to recreate it to suit my vegan lifestyle. It turned out to be just as delicious; I was pleasantly surprised and

Potatoes Au Gratin
This past month in Culinary School featured everything about potatoes. Mashed, fried, baked, tournéed; you name it, we made it. I love learning new ways to reinvent the foods I enjoy; and, what's better, I love taking that knowledge and making it vegan! This post will be the first of many recipes that I learned from my time at Culinary School and converted to fit my vegan lifestyle. It's surprisingly super easy and just as creamy as it was in class. Chef would be proud. Let's

Vegan Beef Stew
Nothing says comfort food quite like a bowl of hearty beef stew. It's a classic, and, as a child I loved the warm feeling it gave me. Beef stew meant comforters, fuzzy socks, and TV Time. It may be spring time outside, but, I love to curl up with my fuzzy pink socks and favorite book all year round. This stew is the perfect snuggle up accessory, and, it's completely vegan. What you need: 1 Pack MySoy by Yves Cubed Seitan 1 TBSP EVOO 3-4 Medium Yellow Potatoes, Peeled 1/4 Red

Tofu Sushi
Sushi is e v e r y t h i n g to me. I'm pretty sure I've mourned Shrimp Tempura since day one of my vegan transition. I've also taken several moment of silence for my love of of the Rainbow Roll; sad days, people. Can vegan sushi soothe my woes? Yes, yes please! I took a little inspiration from a recent trip to Fusion (this place is amazing!); and, this weekend I decided to give homemade sushi a try. I could have slapped myself for waiting so long to try this. It was literall

Mac & Cheese Balls
Of course vegans love mac & cheese! Who doesn't? It's one of the only traditional side dishes that I can actually enjoy as a main course. These mac & cheese balls are crispy on the outside, yet, contains all of the liquid golden goodness on the inside that you look for in your favorite side dish. Per usual this recipe is super easy, and, it's fun to eat. I went for a side of traditional marinara sauce for dipping, but, you're free to dip them in whatever your heart desires (o

Chickpea Salad
This recipe is the vegan dupe for all of my chicken salad lovers, or, my "chicken of the sea" lovers. It takes me back to those tuna melt days, but, with half of the calories, none of the dairy, and, none of the kool-aid. This Chickpea salad is simply delicious, and, your taste buds won't believe its vegan. I paired it with a side of homemade sweet potato fries and chowed down. It's incredibly easy and incredibly fulfilling, Lets do it. You'll need: 1 Can Drained Chickpeas

Peanut Butter Banana Parfait
I love a classic Strawberry Parfait; but, throughout my transition to vegan life I have learned that putting a slight twist on something "traditional" can lead to something incredibly delicious. Besides the fact that this parfait is dairy free and completely vegan, the filling is infused with real peanut butter and banana. I layered in some fresh strawberries and ended up with a protein packed breakfast that packs just as much flavor as it does protein. It's delish and simp

Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Who doesn't love cheesecake? No one in their right mind, that's who. Don't mind me, I just get a little emotional about delicious things. There is nothing (and I mean nothing) like the bite of a smooth and creamy cheesecake to send my soul stirring. And topped with a sweet peanut butter drizzle? Still my wildly beating heart, Lord. This is honestly a cheesecake even non-vegans can love. Get into it. Prep time: 1 hour | Freeze time: 4 hours | Total time: 5 hours 30 minutes Yie
