Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

March 16, 2018 By Ashley 2 Comments

Do you guys celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Neither Ashlee or myself are of Irish descent, but we celebrate every year mainly for the food. In the past, before switching to a vegan diet, we would go all out. Corned beef and cabbage, bangers and mash, Guiness beef stew, and my personal favorite…Shepherd’s Pie.

Ashlee and I don’t generally like casseroles, but there’s something so satisfying and comforting about Shepherd’s Pie. Maybe it’s the rich, meaty stew-like filling or the fluffy mashed potato topping. Or both combined. To say I love this dish is an understatment.

Since St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, I figured there’s no better time to veganize this famous dish.

Grab a Guiness and let’s get to making some vegan shepherd’s pie, shall we?!

Vegan Chikn Chipotle Pasta

March 6, 2018 By Ashley 3 Comments

In the past – just a few weeks ago, to be exact – if you had told me that chipotles would make a great sauce for pasta, I would have laughed in your face.

Chipotles? And Pasta? Like, together? No, thank you.

To be honest, I would have never even thought of this epic combination. I credit a local restaurant here in town that serves up a similar dish as a lunch special every now and then. Unfortunately…well, now that I think about it, fortunately, the restaurant’s version isn’t vegan and that’s how our vegan chipotle pasta was born! As soon I saw it coming out of the kitchen, I knew I had to make a similar version. And as soon as I tasted it, I knew I had to share with all of you! Our vegan chipotle pasta is sooo damn good.

You’re welcome. Now grab a beer and let’s get to cookin’!

February 19, 2018 By Ashley 15 Comments

First of all, can we just admire the beauty and color in this dish?!

I’m not one to make fancy looking meals, but conquering vegan scallops has been on my to-do list for months, so I figured I may as well go all out.

After a couple weeks of intense recipe testing, I’m finally ready to share our recipe for vegan scallops and I promise you, they will not disappoint!!

Grab a glass of your most elegant wine, and let’s get to cooking, shall we?!

Vegan Wonton Soup

January 16, 2018 By Ashley 10 Comments

If you follow me on social media, then you might remember when I made vegan wonton soup on my Instagram stories last week. I wasn’t planning on posting an actual recipe for our vegan wonton soup on my blog (when I was cooking it on my stories, I was making it up as I went), but since so many of you asked for one, I figured out the measurements and here it is!

Vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Fried Sage Croutons

January 10, 2018 By Ashley Leave a Comment

Happy January, friends!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Holiday season!

I don’t know about you guys, but I am going through some serious PCD (post Christmas depression). My entire immediate family was able to spend The Holidays together for the first time in years, so going back to “real life” after everyone left kinda sucked, but I am super excited to see what this new year has in store for us!

Besides ending the year with the people we love the most, we also ended 2017 with a vegan pop-up dinner at the same location we had our very first pop-up! It was the best pop-up we’ve had! Looking back, I still can’t believe how smooth it went.

Anyway, the first dish we served at our Holiday inspired pop up was vegan butternut squash soup with fried sage croutons and it was a huge hit! I figured since all of our guests loved it, you guys will too.

Let’s get to makin’ some soup!

Vegan Holiday Croquettes

December 5, 2017 By Ashley 5 Comments

I can’t believe it’s been nearly a month since I posted a damn recipe!!!

Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies when we’re older? I miss the days when it seemed like forever for Christmas to come. Counting the days off my advent calendar was torturous! Now, The Holidays come and go with the blink of an eye. Honestly, how is Christmas less than three weeks away?!

Anywho, with all the Holiday parties coming up, I bet you need some crowd-pleasing recipes! No need to fret, because I made the most amazing vegan Holiday Croquettes that are perfect for all the festive celebrations you’re about to partake in.

You’re welcome.

Vegan Tofu Spring Rolls (GF)

September 17, 2017 By Ashley Leave a Comment

I love spring rolls. I could eat them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

In fact, I have eaten them every single day this week.

I mean, if you ask me, what’s not to love about them? They’re damn delicious, extremely versatile, pretty simple (and fun!) to make, and can be enjoyed as a healthy lunch, dinner, or snack…or breakfast, or brunch, or all day!

I told you, I love spring rolls.

Southwest Style Quinoa Burgers (Vegan + Gluten Free)

August 29, 2017 By Ashley Leave a Comment

I love Mexican food. I also love burgers. The other night I was craving both, so I figured why not combine the two? If you’ve been following me for quite some time now, then you probably already know I have a thing for combining different dishes…I love fusion cuisine! Examples A, B, and C.

Cauliflower Buffalo & Ranch Tacos with Celery Slaw (Vegan)

August 3, 2017 By Ashley 2 Comments

Ok, first thing’s first. I apologize I didn’t post a recipe last week, but Ashlee and I have busy little bees lately! If you follow us on Instagram, then you probably saw we hosted our very first Pop Up Eats a couple weeks ago! It was seriously amazing! Crazy busy – since we did back to back days – but still AMAZING. We live in a town that doesn’t offer many vegan options when eating out, so we were extremely happy and honored to have sold out both days! Spreading the word on vegan cooking and a vegan lifestyle is my absolute passion. For everyone who bought tickets, THANK YOU! We cannot wait to host our next Pop Up Eats in a few weeks! If you guys wanna see a page on this site dedicated solely to all of our pop ups, let me know! I’d love to share with you!

Aside from our Pop Up Eats, I’ve also been developing recipes like a madman for Greg over at veganlifecoach.com. The recipes I’ve developed for Vegan Life Coach are exclusive to that website only, so make sure to check em out! You can also follow Greg on Instagram at @veganlifecoachdotcom.

Alright, now for the good stuff – FOOD! A few days ago, I asked you guys on Instagram what recipe ya’ll wanted to see next on the blog. The most requested? Cauliflower wings.

Since cauliflower wing recipes are literally everywhere on the internet, I decided to step it up a notch for you guys. I mean, who doesn’t fucking love tacos, anyway, right?!

Friends, I introduce to you…(drum roll, please)

CAULIFLOWER BUFFALO AND RANCH TACOS!!!

YUM!

Rigatoni Pie with Spicy Pomodoro Sauce (Vegan)

May 10, 2017 By Ashley 3 Comments

Everyone knows that Mother’s Day is all about showing your mom how much appreciation you have for her.

Sure, you could get her a massage or take her out to lunch, but to be honest, that’s basic as fuck and we know you’re better than that.

Show your mom you really care by making her our Rigatoni Pie with Spicy Pomodoro Sauce.

I mean, nothing says I love and appreciate you quite like a big plate of carbs and cheesy goodness.
