Vegan Bruschetta Chickn Pasta with Balsamic Cream Sauce

By 7 Comments

Fun Fact : Bruschetta is my favorite appetizer of. all. time. Whenever there’s a potluck or a get-together, my go-to dish is this Pea Pesto Bruschetta. It’s so flavorful, fresh, light, and out of this world good – my friends and family can attest to this!

Fun Fact #2 : Ya’ll should know this already, but pasta is my favorite food of all time. Like, I can eat a ridiculous amount of noods and not get full. I am the human pasta/noodle garage disposal, and I have no shame in admitting this. I love them so, so, sooo much (example A, B, and C).

I have no idea why the thought of combining these two dishes hasn’t crossed my mind much sooner. I mean…instead of putting bruschetta mix on bread, why not toss it in pasta with balsamic cream sauce?! Duh, Ashley.

I guess that saying is true, though. Good things do come to those who wait, because this Vegan Bruschetta Chickn Pasta is the best thing that’s happened to my taste buds in a long time!

Fettuccine with Green Olive & Caper Sauce, Blistered Tomatoes, and Lemony Breadcrumbs

By 2 Comments

You know those dishes that come together when you haven’t had time to grocery shop in weeks, and your produce is going bad, and the bread is going stale, and you just throw something together in hopes it turns out alright?

Well, this fettuccine with green olive & caper sauce, blistered tomatoes, and lemony garlic breadcrumbs is one of those dishes. Except it turned out more than alright; it turned out pretty fuckin’ fantastic.

Crisp and buttery olives pair especially well with capers, garlic, and cheese (vegan, of course). Throw in some noods and breadcrumbs for texture, and you’ve got a one-way ticket to Flavor Town, folks.

Grab a glass of wine and let’s get to cookin’ some #DeliciousAF pasta, shall we?

Vegan ‘Egg’ Salad Sandwich

By 3 Comments

This Vegan ‘Egg’ Salad Sandwich is made in less than 5 minutes, with just a few simple and clean ingredients. It’s made from tofu and Kala Namak, or Black Salt.You can find Kala Namak at most specialty Indian Markets and on Amazon.Because of Black Salt’s high sulfur content, these eggless sandwiches are extremely reminincent of an old, classic favorite.   

I’ll be honest, I never really liked egg salad.

It’s weird. Befire going vegan, I loved eggs; sunny side up (my personal favorite), poached, hard boiled (another fave), scrambled, or fried. I ate them for breakfast alongside garlic fried rice. For lunch, crumbled atop a cobb salad. And for dinner, oozing out of a big burger. If it it was and egg, mostly likely I was eating it.

Unless it was egg salad.

Ashley, on the other hand, grew up on egg salad, and loved it. So much so that when she tells stories of coming home from school to her mom’s egg salad sandwiches, her eyes light up #TrueStory.

Copycat TTLA

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!…
