A fried chicken sandwich is one of those things I had written off as a meal I will never consume again. I used to love the crispy/zesty taste of a fast-food chicken sandwich (guilty as charged!!) but figured it would be impossible to make a vegan version, and even if I tried, it would be…

Grilled Prosciutto and Cheese with Tomato Soup
Sometime it’s nice to have a busy evening so you have no choice but to whip up a quick, classic childhood favorite, the grilled cheese. And it’s even nicer when you have vegan prosciutto to spice up the grilled cheese into a grilled prosciutto & cheese, complete with Dijon mustard and a side of canned tomato…
Caprese Open Faced Sandwich
Arguably one of the best things about summer is the taste of fresh, ripe tomatoes from the farmers market (especially Jersey tomatoes!). They’re delicious by themselves just with salt and pepper, but also divine with basil and mozzarella, also known as the caprese salad. We had the caprese combination on some rustic bread and some…
Chili Dogs
It isn’t a summer festival or a baseball game without a chili dog! I’ve been craving this summertime favorite for a while now, and decided to just go ahead and make the dang thing vegan — it couldn’t be too hard, right? Right! 🌠A hot dog is one of those things that you can’t…
Radish Toast
Want to feel European? Make this super simple but surprisingly delicious snack/appetizer of radish + butter toast. The key is to slice the radishes really thin (use a mandolin if you have one!) and use lots of butter and salt. A healthy sprinkle of salt takes away the sharp bite of the raw radish —…
Pesto and Tomato Grilled Cheese
Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomato – Grilled cheese is already amazing but when you add pesto, tomato slices, and make it vegan, it’s even better! I highly recommend trying this jazzed up version of everyone’s childhood favorite. You could also make this with lots of different combinations, like salsa and avocado or fake ham…
Quinoa Bowl with Corn Salsa
I love a big bowl of goodness. I especially love when that goodness includes beans and salsa. There’s never a bad time for rice, beans, and salsa. This healthy bowl uses quinoa instead of rice to amp up the protein, black beans, and a homemade corn salsa that is an easy and delicious way to…
Rice Bowl with Kale and Radish Slaw
Something about spring makes me want to eat healthier, whether it’s because I have to wear a bathing suit soon or because I’m naturally outside exercising more and building good health juju. This kale and radish slaw is a delicious and easy dish to whip up and pair with lots of different meals. Here it’s…
Tofu Banh Mi Sandwiches
If you haven’t had banh mi before, it’s a delicious Vietnamese sandwich on a baguette with lots of pickled vegetables, cilantro, and typically, pork. This vegan version uses grilled tofu as the main filling and vegan mayonnaise in a spicy chili mayo sauce. It’s so simple to make these glorious (and super packed!) sandwiches. You…
Sweet Potato Toast
I’m jumping on the bandwagon for this beautiful little trend. I was so pleasantly surprised by this fad that I want to shout it from the rooftops. If you want to go low carb or no carb but still want to eat a warm piece of toast in the morning with melty butter/ nutella/ peanut…
