 Burrito bowls, burritos, nachos, and salads are some of my favorite vegan recipes to make. I just finished my 21 Day Vegan Challenge group, and during the last week of the group I ate only a raw vegan diet. I felt really great, and I decided to start incorporating more raw meals into my week. I had decided to make taco salad for dinner, so I made a raw version and another version with tofu as well. Normally I make walnut meat, but I was out of walnuts. So, I improvised and hoped for the best. I used cashews instead, and I am so glad that I did! I will probably use cashews for this recipe from now on. The sweetness of the cashews combined with the seasoning that I used made the salad extraordinary.  I don't know why I didn't think of making cashew meat before now! Sometime the best recipes happen accidentally. Occasionally I have a bunch of ingredients to put together, and I think it's going to make the best recipe...and it doesn't happen. I don't do that often, but sometimes what I think is great in my head doesn't translate as greatness to my taste buds with the finished product. Trial and error. Anyway, if you like cashews I think you will be pleased with this recipe.  Fresh, zesty, packed with protein and fiber, and only 10 ingredients to make!

 Out of all of my recipes, I enjoy making veggie burgers the best, and vegan pizzas are a close second place. I am so happy to see that more and more stores are carrying a variety of plant based burgers. I am also seeing restaurants starting to add them to the menu. Times are changing! It's fun eating out and trying out the latest veggie burger, but my favorite by far is homemade. Usually around the spring and summer holidays I hear conversations about grilling out and burgers and what not. People excitedly talk about what they are putting on the grill, and that is when I mention veggie burgers. I am amazed at the comments, and people often ask for recommendations. When I tell them I make my own, they genuinely ask, "Well, how do you do that?" I share my recipe, and a day or two later I get a message where someone excitedly tells me that the veggie burgers were a hit and tasted better than meat burgers. I love hearing these reports, and it is encouraging to be able to let people know that they can add plant based options to the menu. It's another seed planted. These burgers are a variation of my original sweet potato black bean burger recipe.  This is a quick and easy veggie burger recipe packed with protein, fiber, and an abundance of flavor. You just add all of the ingredients to one bowl, form your burgers, and grill away!  Thick, juicy, protein-packed and only nine ingredients to make.

The company sent me the organic almond and organic cashew My Nutty Mylk to try. In addition to being USDA certified organic, they are also PALEO friendly, dairy free, contain no additives, gluten free, and Non GMO. I look forward to using them in sauces, savory dishes, and vegan desserts as well. Since I was responsible for bringing dessert to a work function, I decided to incorporate the cashew mylk into my recipe.  I had a few different dessert ideas, but I finally decided to make the chocolate bark with my daughter's help. We had so much fun making the chocolate peppermint bark during the holidays, and I knew that this would be a blast as well. This recipe does not require many ingredients, and it's definitely kid friendly. In between munching on the dark chocolate peanut gems, we stirred, sprinkled, and made this recipe come to life. The creamy cashew mylk is so silky, rich and smooth that it made me think of at least four other recipes where it will be featured in the near future.  Rich, smooth, creamy, crunchy, sweet, nutty, and only five ingredients to make!

From garden salads to vegan tuna salad, chickpeas add flavor and health benefits. Chickpeas are high in protein and fiber. They are also a great source of calcium and selenium, which helps the enzymes in the liver to function properly and can detoxify some cancer-causing compounds in the body. In addition to chickpeas, this recipe is packed with seven superfood ingredients. It can be used a side and a great topping for veggie burgers. It only takes a few minutes to make. Enjoy!

I know I do...minus the dairy cheese, of course! Being vegan doesn't prevent me from enjoying one of my favorite meals, and I have created several plant based pizza recipes that will blow your mind...and there was no animal cruelty involved in the process!  Cheeseburger Avocado Pizza This recipe uses only 10 ingredients like vegan cheddar shreds, vegan crumbles, spicy black beans, baby spinach, red onions, and avocado. Your taste buds with definitely thank you! It's both nutritious and amazingingly delicious.  Thai Chick'n Pizza Tofurky never ceases to amaze me with outstanding, quality products. The Thai Basil Slow Roasted Chick'n is no exception. The creamy, herb garlic tree nut cheese used in this six-ingredient recipe melts in your mouth and makes is extremely hard to eat just one serving. It's simply savory and superb!  Spicy Guacamole Pizza Break away from the traditional tomato-based pizza sauce with this zesty combination. This pizza brings the heat with a spicy guacamole base, spicy black beans and a nice balance of sweet corn and fresh, sliced tomatoes. This quick and easy vegan pizza recipe only takes six ingredients to make.  Spicy Kale and Chick'n Pizza If you haven't noticed by now, I thoroughly enjoy spicy food. What better way to top off this flavor fest than sriracha hot sauce? The flavor combination of this pizza is off the charts. With toppings like Tofurky Barbecue Slow Roasted Chick'n, steamed kale, diced red onions, and vegan mozzarella shreds, this pie is sure to please your non-vegan friends and family as well.  Roasted Veggie Sriracha Pizza
For this veggie-fied pie, I combined steamed broccoli, red onions, peppers, and baby bella mushrooms. Of course it wasn't complete until I added sriracha hot sauce, which is totally optional if you do not like all the heat. This 10 ingredient vegan pizza recipe will truly tantalize your taste buds!  I am going to keep this post simple, short, and sweet. I am currently working on a vegan children's book, and it's taking up most of my free time. I had to pause and take a break and post a recipe though. When my daughter and I were at Whole Foods the other day trying the TTLA sandwich made famous by Tabitha Brown, we looked for vegan brownies, and I ended up deciding to make my own. I am so glad I did. These vegan brownies are the truth!  What holds the recipe together and gives the brownies that moist, chewy, gooeyness? Pitted dates, of course! Dates are a great source of vitamins and minerals, and they are low in calories and rich in fiber. I also use them in my peanut butter chocolate energy bites recipe.  This is a fun, kid-friendly recipe filled that is literally "hands-on" and easy to make.  Rich, decadent, gooey, nutty, chocolatey, and only seven ingredients to make.

Participants were required to list an ingredient and choose three ingredients off of the list to create a meal. Kale and sweet potatoes were both on the list, and as I was walking through the grocery store last night the idea hit me: Why not make some type of burger? So I did.  So, I put my ingredients together and hoped for the best. A lot of my recipes are trial and error, and most of the time they turn out well. I didn't want to use black beans like I did in my previous vegan burger recipe, and I figured chickpeas would work just as well! They tasted great! They had just the right amount of crunch on the outside, and they were firm and exploding with flavor on the inside. I knew I would be on to something if they passed the husband taste test...  My husband is one of the hardest working people I know. He was exhausted going to work this morning and packed two burgers for breakfast. I got a call from him at 8:00 a.m., and he was fired up. He said, "I don't know what you put in those burgers, but they gave me so much energy!" I was so happy because not only did he like them, the superfood ingredients gave him a great energy boost for the day. Not caffeine. Not supplements. Just a fabulous plant based meal. When I started my vegan journey, he was so supportive, and encouraging, and I enjoy cooking great meals for such a great man.  Savory, filling, tasty, energy-boosting, and only ten ingredients to make.

They are a wonderful addition to a veggie plate, and they don't have to be laden with butter and salt to taste good. I often make mashed potatoes as a side dish for holiday meals. This is an easy and inexpensive recipe that my daughter helped me to prepare. Family cooking is what I love to do!  Potatoes are a great source of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. I like to leave the skins on my potatoes when I cook them for added nutritional value. The skins contain phytochemicals, and these bioactive compounds help fight high cholesterol and heart disease. Creamy, comforting, hearty, flavorful, and only seven ingredients to make.

There are so many health benefits to list, but I will just name a few.

I know I have eaten a lot of pizza in my lifetime, but after becoming vegan I gained a whole new appreciation for pizza pies. I enjoy making vegan pizza recipes and experimenting with different ingredients so I was really looking forward to incorporating guacamole instead of using traditional pizza sauce.  We always look forward to pizza night, and this is the pizza my five year-old daughter made. I have had several people contact me asking how they can get their children to eat the vegan food they prepare. One of the main suggestions I give is to allow them to be part of the entire process. Whether it's shopping for ingredients or preparing the meal, allow them to help! Pizza is a great kid-friendly vegan recipe, and fun for the entire family. Everyone can customize their own pizza.  Spicy, flavorful, filling, protein-packed, and only six ingredients to make.
