Copycat TTLA

By 3 Comments

This post is sponsored by Lightlife. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

By now, if you haven’t seen Tabitha Brown’s viral video review on Whole Food’s famous sandwich, the TTLA, then stop whatever you’re doing and watch it. Honestly, after watching it myself, I ran to the nearest Whole Foods and ordered three!!!

To be honest, I didn’t even like tempeh before I discovered this sandwich. Actually, I loathed it. After trying the TTLA, I am now a tempeh loving, full blown TTLA addict. I even made the sandwiches for my monthly segment cooking show on KMPH Fox Great Day Kitchen a few months ago! You can check it out here!…

Vegan Chikn Chipotle Pasta

By 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’!

The Best Vegan French Toast

By 4 Comments

Are you guys ‘Team Sweet’ or ‘Team Savory’ for breakfast? Usually, I’m Team Savory. I’ll pick tofu scramble and soyrizo over pancakes any day. 

Lately, though, I’ve had a glarly sweet tooth and this vegan French Toast has been a Sunday morning ritual.

I know what you’re thinking, and this vegan French Toast is not lacking without an egg batter. Chickpea flour takes the place of the egg in this recipe and we promise, you’ll never taste the difference! This recipe is the perfect weekend brunch recipe!

Grab your mimosa and let’s get to cooking the best vegan French Toast!…

Vegan Tofu Spring Rolls (GF)

By 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)

By 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)

By 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!

Nacho Average Hot Dogs (Vegan)

By Leave a Comment

I always have a pretty good laugh when my omnivore friends tell me that plant-based meats are weird…especially when it comes to hot dogs.

I mean, if you think about it, hot dogs are just a bunch of remnants of the pig that no one wants to eat – all ground up into a link, then encased with intestines to hold it all together.

Doesn’t that sound way more scrumptious than a veggie dog?! I didn’t fucking think so.
