Tofu Lettuce Wraps
I made a version of these tofu lettuce wraps for New Year’s Eve and I really enjoyed them, so I ended up making them this week when my bestie came over for dinner. They’re so tasty! Crispy cubes of tofu and veggies tossed in a sweet and savory sauce on a bed rice noodles inside…
Creamy Mushroom Asparagus Rice
Well, it was supposed to be risotto but who thought the basmati we had in the same container was aborrio? Me. So it was still delicious, creamy, flavorful, and filling but not technically risotto. It comes together in about 20-25 minutes so it’s faster than risotto and still has such great flavor from the mushrooms…
Black Bean & Cheeze Quesadillas
I haven’t had a good quesadilla since going vegan and when I saw a vegan quesadilla on Instagram I knew it was something I wanted to try out. I’ve been making vegan cheeze made from veggies and cashews that we’ve been liking and it’s healthy and oil free. I thought it would be perfect for…
Mushroom Bolognese
Pasta is up in my top 5 favorite foods because it’s so versatile, filling, comforting, and it takes a lot for me to get tired of it. It’s cheap and can feed a family for about a dollar! It’s my perfect base. I try to limit it to about once or twice a week for…

Tofu Curry Ramen Bowl

Hearty 3 Bean Chili
This is from the Minimalist Baker cookbook and it looked interesting because I’ve never thought about using sweet potatoes in a chili. I tried it out and it’s so tasty! They don’t give the chili a sweet flavor, but more complexity and texture. It wasn’t super spicy which is good for Josh, but if you…
Spinach and Artichoke Pasta
Everyone loves spinach and artichoke dip because it’s creamy, flavorful, and you feel semi healthy eating greens in form of a dip.

Crispy Orange Chili Tofu
This was right up my alley because I LOVE Chinese food and lately I’ve been loving crispy tofu. I love the texture, crispy on the outside and slightly chewy in the inside, and love that it takes on any flavor. I found this recipe in the Bosh cookbook I got for Christmas and wanted to…
Creamy Lasagna Soup
This is a recipe from @Rabbitsandwolves blog and it looked so delicious! I’ve been wanting to try it out for a while and made it this week. The recipe is pretty simple actually and didn’t need many ingredients. I cut the amount of cashews in half just to lessen the amount of fat, but it…

Portobello Burgers and Fries
If you’re craving the flavor of a burger and fries, but want something whole foods plant based then this might do the trick! Portobellos are a great source of protein, vitamin d, and have a meaty texture that make a great burger replacement. They also soak up any flavor you add to them so it’s…
Shepherd’s Potatoes
This is a recipe from the Bosh cookbook that I tried last week and they were really tasty! It’s a mix between shepherd’s pie and a twice baked potato and they’re filled with a lentil gravy mixture. They were savory, filling, and felt like a really hearty meal. They’re also visually appetizing and would be…
Untraditional Vegetable Pad Thai
Well I was planning on making Bosh’s recipe for pad thai and when I looked in my fridge by the end of the week I didn’t have any of the ingredients for it! I decided to make up my own recipe for it and it ended up being pretty tasty! Pad thai usually has tofu…
Vegan Waffles
When I made my blueberry pancakes last weekend, I found my waffle maker sitting on top of my griddle so it made me want to use it. I’ve probably only used it a handful of times since we got it for our wedding, and I usually use it to make oil free hash browns. Since…
