The Vegan Cheese Dilemma

The Vegan Cheese Dilemma

There are a lot of bad vegan cheeses out there, and they’re not cheap, so it can be discouraging to try a new one. We’ve tried quite a few, and find that some work better than others depending how you use them. […]

Spinach and Potato Samosas

During quarantine time I took some Ethiopian cuisine cooking classes organized by a dear friend with a wonderful person she found online named Betty. (You can find her on Facebook and YouTube). The money we paid for the cooking classes went to her charitable organization Hope Arising, which supports families in need in Ethiopia.

This is a recipe she showed us in one of her classes and it’s been a big hit with friends and family! […]

Easy Vegan Indian 'Takeout' with Naan

Indian food was always a favourite go-to takeout meal in winter but when I jumped onto the plant-based bandwagon, it wasn’t an option anymore. It had been years since I had Indian food and with the cold November wind upon us (and the election looming) I needed a distraction and some comfort food in equal measures.

So, here is my easy vegan Indian feast with Naan menu: Vegan Butter Chick’n, Red Lentil Dahl, Roasted Cauliflower, Vegan Naan Bread, Basmati Rice. You’ll need approximately 2 hours tp prep, but I start the dough and rice in advance then go and do other things until about 40 min before dinner. […]

The Best Vegan Carrot Cake

Our family LOVES the carrot cake at Aux Vivres, this cake comes close, or might be even better! It’s moist and delicious, plus it feels somewhat healthy since it has carrots and walnuts in it. I found this recipe in a cookbook that Shannon got me for my birthday one year; The Superfun Times Vegan Holiday Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. It’s filled with great recipe ideas for every holiday. Last year I served some of my non-vegan family members Thanksgiving Burgers from this cookbook, and they loved it! I just made the Carrot Cake last week for my husband’s birthday, it was gobbled up in no time! […]

Aquafaba brownies

Every year I bake brownies for Luna Yoga Teacher Training graduation. What better way to celebrate life's accomplishments than with chocolate? There are thousands of vegan brownie recipes out there, and I look for every opportunity to try another one from the list. In the past months I've been cooking a lot with canned chickpeas and I save the liquid for vegan meringues and marshmallows (the liquid freezes really well!). So when I saw a brownie recipe with aquafaba (that's the liquid that comes from canned beans), I was excited to try it out. […]

Looking to try out a new vegan recipe to warm you up this fall? Check out these hearty Vegetable Bean Pot Pies from the cookbook “The First Mess” by Laura Wright! Instead of the traditional pastry crust, this recipe substitutes in thinly sliced potatoes as the topping, which makes this recipe a little easier to make, but just as tasty to eat! […]
