I admit, I do enjoy a handful of my mom’s homemade granola, or a big salad with veggies, nuts and olive oil. But the options for vegan food are truly endless, I kid you not.
If you know me… then you know that I love to cook. So the first thing I did once becoming vegan was scour the internet for recipes and inspiration. And I found A LOT! I think the switch would have been harder if there weren’t so many amazing resources out there. You don’t need to be a chef to make great vegan food and you don’t need to spend lots of time in the kitchen at every meal. You just need to re-discover food and be open to new things.
Here is a list of some of my recent favorite recipes:
- Banana Blueberry Bread (above)
- Black Olive Bruschetta with Cashew Cream
- Pea and Avocado Penne
- Easy Pad Thai
- Curried Butternut Squash Risotto
- Tempeh Bacon (I am addicted)
- Sweet Potato Hummus
- Tempeh Pecan Salad
- Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
- Red Onion and Garlic Focaccia
- Twix Bars
- Mocha Root Beer Float
There are some great links on the left side of this blog that you can check out. There are also easy ways to veganize you current recipes:
- Replace butter with Earth Balance Buttery Spread (comes in sticks and tubs)
- Replace mayonnaise with Veganise (100 times better than mayo)
- Try out some vegan cheese from Daiya
- Switch out cows’ milk for soy, almond, rice or coconut milk
- Season your pasta with ground cashews and salt rather than parmesan
- Check out this vegan food guide if you have no idea what tempeh, seitan and nutritional yeast are
- Make a smoothie for breakfast with fruit, non-dairy milk, ground flax seed (high in omega 3s) and agave nectar (to add more sweetness)
- Experiment... it's fun!
