These lentil sloppy joes are so flavorful and are done in 30 minutes, so we have them monthly. They pack a ton of protein and are a healthy way to feel full and satisfied. After the pasta last night and again for lunch today, I was carbed out. No bun for me! I decided to…

Butternut Squash Mac and Garlic Asparagus
Mac ‘n cheese was my favorite food growing up so it holds a special place in my heart, however I’m lactose intolerant so it also makes me sick, literally. When I was little I would order it every time we went out to dinner and without a doubt we would have to stop on the…
Black Bean Taco Salad
This is everything you want in a salad. It’s filling enough to make you feel satisfied, and it has so many colors and flavors to appeal to all of your senses. We’ve been trying to incorporate more salads into our weekly meals and still feel like we can have something yummy at the end of…
Easy Bean and Quinoa Chili
What goes better than chili and football? Not much. Well since it’s the day of the SEC Championship (War Eagle!) and my dad’s meaty chili is no longer an option I wanted to come up with something spicy and hearty to eat during the game. I hadn’t gone to the grocery store, but luckily you…
Tempeh “Sausage”, Mushroom, Tomato and Kale Pizza
What’s one thing I miss the most since becoming veganish? Pizza. Who doesn’t want pizza every weekend? I wanted to find pizza that was still worth daydreaming about, but was something easy we could make on a Friday night. There’s not many good vegan pizza places around here, and the dairy free cheese isn’t the…
Crispy Tofu Stir Fry
I had NEVER even tried tofu before becoming vegan, so getting used to the texture was …interesting. The crispier the better for me, but I didn’t want to fry it because I still want to be healthy. I just got an iron skillet which would be great for this recipe, but I have been roasting…
Best Black Bean Burger
Josh used to have a burger any chance he got, so I tried to find a recipe that would help us feel like we can still have burgers and fries, but in a healthier way. I tried out a few veggie burger recipes and the result was a mushy patty with no texture and…
Asian Lettuce Wraps
These crumbled tofu lettuce wraps taste just like the ground chicken version, but a little lighter texture. They taste like a restaurant specialty and this is a great recipe for a light, colorful dinner. Recipe here
Chickpea and Veggie Stir Fry
I pretty much crave Asian all the time which annoys Josh, but it’s helpful going vegan since there is rarely any dairy involved so it’s an easy go to category. This was a quick Asian stir fry that you can be really creative with. You can swap out the veggies or use a pre-made sauce,…
Our First Turkeyless Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving… the holiday celebrating togetherness, thankfulness, and gorging yourself with tons of FOOD. It’s everywhere! Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, peas, gravy, etc., etc. and very little of that makes the vegan cut. This has been what we’ve eaten every year on Thanksgiving for my entire life. SInce we started this veganish diet…
