Vegan Homemade Waffles
Who doesn’t love a good waffle?! If you don’t like waffles, we can’t be friends. Its that simple 😆 Okay, that might be a tad dramatic of me, what can I say, I love the theatrics. But seriously, I do love me some waffles. I am a big breakfast person. I think I’m opposite to most, I’ll never skip breakfast but have no problem skipping out on lunch or dinner. I’ve always been a breakfast gal. From pancakes, crepes, parfaits, lattes, waffles, French…

Green Lentil Vegetable Soup
Green Lentil Vegetable Soup…who would’ve thought I’d be creating warm soup recipes in the middle of July?! But, here I am 🤷🏼♀️ I’m often confronted with people telling me they’re searching for more protein in their diet. Especially when contemplating switching to vegan/plant-based. I find it comes easy to me, once you really open up to other foods that you normally wouldn’t go for. Nuts, seeds and different vegetables all provide exactly what you need. This soup is just one…

5 Easy Vegan Lunch Ideas
Just the thought of switching to a vegan lifestyle can be overwhelming. When my husband and I first made the switch, I wasn’t worried about dinners. I could plan those. My breakfast? It was already vegan friendly. I was worried about lunch. What could you possibly replace a ham and cheese sandwich with?! Was my first thought. It took some time before I felt comfortable straying away from a smoothie and a snack for lunch every day. And let me tell…

Peanut Butter Banana Brownies
Biting into a thick, dense, moist brownie is mouth watering…and these Peanut Butter Banana Brownies are no different. I had never been a big chocolate person. I was always into candy and non-chocolatey baked goods. But something about brownies… I get cravings that I just can’t ignore. If you’ve been able to get through the covid quarantine without all the sugary cravings then I applaud you. But that surely has not been the case for me 😂 Naturally I…

Creamy Vegan Alfredo
This creamy vegan Alfredo is a great ‘replacement’ to the real thing. I hadn’t had Alfredo in about 8 months — it was one of my favourite dishes! Often when people speak of wanting to switch to a vegan or plant based diet they bring up the foods they would miss. I try to not see it as a loss but rather as a gain. I’m actively saving animals lives, saving the planet and feeding my body the most nutrient…

Crispy BBQ Cauliflower Wings
It all started with Super Bowl…but don’t all good food stories start that way? February 2nd 2020 was when the San Fransisco 49’ers went to the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs and I made crispy bbq cauliflower wings. Unfortunately for my husband and the rest of San Fran, they were defeated in the last quarter by the chiefs. But, fortunately for myself, my crispy BBQ Cauliflower Wings were a giant win! The build up to the Super…

Disaster Preparation
Let’s talk food! It’s been such an interesting time, to say the least. Grocery shopping is an entirely new experience now. Since going vegan I have been diligently meal planning and creating shopping lists for each week. It’s been months since I’ve questioned what’s for dinner only hours before dinner time. Planning my week out in advanced has helped me tremendously with switching to a vegan diet as well as ensured that we have…
