This semi-homemade spicy marinara will become your go-to pasta sauce, I promise you. A little kick of thai red curry paste heightens all of the flavors of the tomato sauce, and will literally “spice up” pasta night! And it’s so simple to make. Even if you don’t usually like spicy food, I encourage you to…
Sweet Potato Gnocchi
I’ll be the first to admit that this gnocchi is rustic, but I believe that it has more character than all the annoyingly perfect-shaped gnocchis out there! I think I cut mine too big, so don’t allow your gnocchis to be such huge giant golf balls when you make your own imperfect version of this recipe. 😂🙈…
Mofongo
Every time I go to Puerto Rico, I have to have some mofongo – a delicious dish of mashed plantains. I have a cookbook of Puerto Rican dishes, which is for the most part heavily meat-centric, but I seriously LOVE the section on plantains. Mofongo is typically flavored with chicharrones or pork rinds, but I…
Garlic Rosemary Flatbread
Bread is life. It’s very healing for my soul, and brings me a lot of joy and happiness. 🙏 Plus, it’s just gosh darn delicious and I could eat it for/with every meal! 😺 That’s why I’ve decided to try to make it myself sometimes. I want to unlock the secret to this life fortifying…
First Birthday Post: 3-Day Vegan Meal Plan
Today is An Imperfect Vegan‘s first birthday! It’s so surreal that an entire year has passed since starting this project. It feels like yesterday that I was planning and researching how to make a blog. Since then, I’ve had more than 1,000 views per month from dozens of countries (that might seem like a small…
Greek Salad
Sometimes we’re just craving a great big salad for dinner. Whether it’s because we’ve been eating lots of treats and our bodies are screaming for a vegetable, or if we just want something quick, easy, crisp, and fresh to eat. We’ll often throw together a simple Greek salad (minus the typical feta cheese topping), and…
Easy Balsamic Bruschetta
I’m really yearning for summer over here. Can you tell? Nothing says summer to me like tomatoes, because that’s when they taste so juicy sweet I can eat them like an apple with a little salt. I didn’t go that far, but I was craving some fresh bruschetta. I whipped up this easy balsamic bruschetta…
Vegan Ramen with Tofu
Ramen noodles – not just a college student’s favorite 50 cent insta-meal. Ramen is a wonderful brothy Chinese noodle soup that’s typically topped with pork, eggs, sprouts, green onion, and other various toppings. But with ramen it’s all about the broth, baby. I really try to be an “under an hour” chef so I made…
Cauliflower Spinach Bake
This Cauliflower and Spinach Bake uses just few simple ingredients to create a super healthy and cozy dinner or side dish. It starts with an easy vegan bechamel sauce as its creamy base. Then you add slightly cooked cauliflower and spinach to finish cooking in the rich, creamy sauce. It’s a warm and hearty meal…
Corn and Black Bean Empanadas
Okay, so I think I made something that’s a cross between an empanada and a hand pie. I chose not to fry them – I baked them instead in an effort to be semi-healthy. And as many vegans know, it’s hard to get golden brown pastry in the oven without using an egg wash. (If…
