Chopped Seitan Salad
I love a good salad! The chopped seitan makes this salad more of a full meal than just a side. Plus it’s a great use for leftover seitan. Waste not want not. We made seitan ribs this past weekend and chopped up the leftovers. The smoky BBQ flavor was amazing on the Chopped Seitan Salad. Yum! If you have a food processor use it to chop the seitan. It shreds it in to fine little piece and the texture is really nice. Don’t have a food processor or don’t want to drag it out? No problem! Just chop it up finely with a knife. You may not get the same…

It is a little known fact that I love pizza and could eat it everyday. I love to experiment with different flavors but the idea for this BBQ Peach Pizza actually came from a local restaurant. The local pizza joint, to remain nameless, was offering a special pizza that sounded amazing. It was a BBQ Peach Pizza with Andouille Sausage. When I asked the waitress if I could order it without the sausage she came back to the table and said “No,…

Oven Fried Cauliflower
I love the crunch of fried foods but hate the grease and mess of frying things. Let’s not even start talk about the calories in fried foods. Oven Baking or Air Frying is totally the way to go at home. It’s so much healthier and easier. Way less clean up involved. I rarely fry food at home any more. We used to have an Air Fryer, and I loved it until it broke. That was a sad sad day. Luckily our new oven is also a convection oven. I have tested this recipe for Oven Fried Cauliflower by baking normally and using the convection oven setting (like any air fryer).…

Seitan Carne Asada
Craving that smoky, charred street-taco flavor but keeping it plant-based? This Seitan Carne Asada is the ultimate game-changer for your next taco night. Why You’ll Love This Plant-Based Carne Asada For our Seitan Carne Asada we wanted to get a juicy but chargrilled flavor. Carne Asada is typically a beef dish but this seitan recipe is a little bit closer to a roasted pork flavor. We’ve found that homemade seitan provides the perfect canvas for bold, citrusy, and earthy Mexican spices. This isn’t your average store-bought meat substitute. By simmering our seitan in a rich, savory veggie broth, we build deep layers of flavor from the inside out. The result…

We had leftover dried black eyed peas from a recipe I made earlier this year and I wanted to use my Instant Pot so I came up with this yummy sloppy joe idea. Our vegan Instant Pot Sloppy Joes recipe makes about eight sandwiches. Don’t know eight people? No problem because you…

Vegan Cajun Pasta
Cajun food is meant to be rustic and hardy. It is country food with bold, smoky, and spicy flavors. Cajun food can be a little spicy but the heat doesn’t have to be overpowering. It is often misunderstood. People assume Cajun means it will be blackened or hotter than a southern summer. It’s really about building flavors from veggies and spices. This Vegan Cajun Pasta is built on classic Cajun flavors that just take some time and love to develop and thicken. What Is In Vegan Cajun Pasta For our Vegan Cajun Pasta I wanted incorporate the trinity of flavors from bell peppers, onions and celery to make a delicious…
