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.

Vegan Pineapple Casserole
Pineapple Casserole is a classic old fashion southern casserole. Good news is that it can very easily be veganized. It is a sweet casserole but it isn’t served as desert. It’s a side dish that you will often see at family gatherings and on holiday tables in the south. Pineapple Casserole is one of those recipes that everyone’s mamas just knows. The ingredients are simple and don’t vary much from recipe to recipe.

It’s great on burgers and oven baked fries too! We slapped some vegan comeback sauce…
