Easy Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo
New Mommy Quick Meal Prep (Vegan & High Protein)
This recipe is sponsored by the Kroger Family of Stores. As a new mom, one that’s exclusively nursing too, I’ve come to find that free time does not exist. If I want to eat a decent meal it has to either be something I throw in the blender or prep ahead to reheat. Because you…
One Pan Vegan Cheddar Broccoli Pasta
Growing up I clearly remember making this cheddar broccoli pasta dish from a cheap packet at my grocery store. It was one of those $1 things in different varieties. This was always my favorite, I’d eat the whole thing myself – I know, super healthy. Despite it not being vegan, I wasn’t raised vegan, I…

This recipe is sponsored by the Kroger Family of Stores. Kicking off back-to-school season with a new meal prep idea using my beloved quinoa. This is a super simple way to prepare meals in bulk for the week ahead. It’s also easy to change up the vegetables or dressing included for a different variation if…
Grilled BBQ Jackfruit Zucchini Boats
Ending the summer content with these bbq jackfruit boats! Also keeping it low-carb, which I never do. But I thought it would be nice to accommodate those that choose to restrict that. I will say though, this is the same base format for my bbq baked potatoes so if you feel so inclined to replace…
Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Salad Sandwiches
Last week I talked about my favorite buffalo chickpea salad, today I’m showing you my favorite way to enjoy it! This is hands down the best sandwich combo. Perfect for a picnic, lunch at the office or a snack for the kids (adjusting the heat of course). You just can’t go wrong with a fully…
Vegan Mediterranean Nourish Bowls (Oil-Free!)
I’ve always been a big fan of Mediterranean food. It’s full of fresh flavors and virtually everything I love most. Of course, it’s traditionally saturated in olive oil – which I refrain from using. I prefer oil-free for my own digestive health, but you can always modify these recipes to include it if you wish….
Vegan Thai Tofu Daikon Noodle Bowls
Finally getting around to sharing my favorite recipe to date – Daikon Noodle Bowls! Virtually raw, making a couple of adjustments if you want to make these fully raw. You can never go wrong with crisp veggies in abundance. This is the perfect meal that won’t weigh you down. It’s easy to tweak to fit…
Jicama Salad + Creamy Citrus Dressing (11-Ingredients!)
Keeping it light and refreshing with this jicama salad. Super simple to make with only 11 ingredients and delicious paired with roasted salsa. You can also eat this on tacos or burrito bowls! I’ve also included a creamy oil-free citrus tahini dressing to drizzle on top. Which can of course be used on other salads…
Vegan Tofu Chik’n Noodle Soup (10-Ingredients!)
Coming off of a week of being sick, soup was the only thing that made it better. I’m forever thankful to my friend, Ann @plantcrush, for making and delivering me vegan chicken noodle soup. After I felt better I really wanted to make my own version and this tofu chik’n noodle soup is what I…

Healthy Power Grain BLT Salad To-Go!
Making meals to-go has been a passion project of mine this year. I know mason jar meals aren’t a new concept, however they are incredibly useful to have around for those busy days. In the past I’ve shared a post on 5 No-Cook Mason Jar Meals. As well as Chia Pudding Parfaits & DIY Pudding…
Creamy Roasted Garlic & Spinach Pasta Stuffed Delicata Squash Boats
Winter is finally here in Texas, so bring on the squash! Lately I’ve been a bit obsessed with delicate squash. So much so that I took it upon myself to feature them in an extra special recipe today. This month officially marks two years collaborating with Kroger co. Using my favorite products by Simple Truth…
Veestro Plant-Based Holiday Dinners Delivered
Veestro is absolutely nailing it with the holiday meals! You might have heard me talking about Veestro way back when. About two plus years ago was when I reviewed their products. If you have no idea what I’m talking about – Veestro is a plant-based food delivery service that makes some insanely delicious meals! I’m…
Vegan Thanksgiving Style Poutine (Using Leftovers!)
In true tradition, I’m sharing another holiday recipe that’s late. I was inspired to make a Thanksgiving style poutine with all my leftovers from the previous day. I actually made this for the first time right after I cooked a dinner of Trader Joe’s sweet potato fries and cauliflower stuffing. As mentioned in my last…
Spooky Black Ramen Noodle Bowls
It’s officially Halloween season and that means spooky recipes galore! I’m not big on themed foods, so I did a play on colors instead. That’s about as festive as it gets for me. These black ramen noodle bowls are packed full of veggies! As well as a spicy Cajun-style tofu I’m currently obsessing over. The…
Oil-Free Thai Salad + Peanut Sauce Dressing
Flash back to earlier this year, I visited Portland and ate all the vegan foods. Including this Thai salad at a popular vegan restaurant. Well, it wasn’t this exact salad. But I was so inspired by the simple combination of ingredients I had to recreate a copycat version of it to share. If you’re ever…
Cheddar Broccoli Scalloped Potato Casserole
On the cusp of summer and all I can think about is this cheesy potato casserole. Please tell me I’m not the only person that craves hot food during the warmer months. It’s hard to explain, but I’m basically a weirdo. One that wants to bake when it’s 100+ degrees outside or drink an iced…
One Pot Spaghetti & Vegan “Meatballs”
In an effort to help those of you with busy schedules, it’s been highly requested I share more one-pot meals. Ones that can be made in less than 30 minutes and require only a handful of simple ingredients. In the past I shared a one-pot creamy mushroom alfredo pasta. It was a huge hit! So…
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad + Oil-Free Dressing
Once upon a time, I use to hate salads. Now you can catch me eating them on a regular basis. While romaine hearts are my go-to option, when I’m feeling a little fancier and I can find them – thinly sliced brussels sprouts are life changing. Especially if you like having that crisp texture. It holds…
GF Vegan Potato Pancakes (Oil-Free)
You may not know this, but I’m actually part German. My mother was born and raised in Fulda, Germany. Obviously I did not ever experience that culture. I’ve lived in Texas the vast majority of my life, up until this point. With the bulk of my roots being European-based, I have a very large space…
Rainbow Zoodle Spring Rolls + Almond Butter Dipping Sauce
It only took me a year and some change to shoot this recipe correctly, in all of it’s glory. I’ve been making rainbow spring rolls since way back when. Some, not so great looking – but my technique has greatly improved over the years. I always tweak the sauce as well. You can actually look…
