I was craving a good old sloppy joe the other day, so I decided to improvise. The tempeh here is a good substitute for meat because the texture is crumbly and really holds up during cooking.

One of the few things I miss as a vegan is pizza. This vegan version I whipped up satisfies, but I have to admit it isn’t the real thing. It was still tasty though! Ingredients Pita bread or flatbread Tomato sauce Trader Joe’s brand vegan shredded mozzarella cheese Various toppings- basil, cilantro, garlic, sliced tomato […]

First of all, I have to start out by saying I am not a huge kale fan. There is something about the texture that I just do not love. I try to eat it though because it is so nutritious. Much to my surprise, I really liked this kale recipe. It was tasty and the […]
Can of vegan Trader Joe’s chili + fried egg + vegan cheese = YUMMY Now I know this isn’t one of my healthier posts, but boy did it hit the spot. Sometimes you just need something that is quick and easy and that does not taste vegetarian. The egg obviously makes this un-vegan but I […]
