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…

Butternut Squash Farro with Roasted Carrots
This farro recipe is a copy cat of Dig Inn’s farro bowl base. If you’re not familiar with Dig Inn, it’s this lovely fast casual food restaurant that’s basically a Chipotle but serves whole foods in healthy bowls. This farro is one of their seasonal offerings and is delicious topped with any of their roasted…
Veggie Supreme Pizza
Pizza is my favorite food and I could eat it for every meal. There is no doubt in my mind that I could eat it every day three times a day for the rest of my life. Especially with the existence of such good dairy-free cheeses these days, and their availability in most super markets,…
Review: Urban Vegan Kitchen
What a midweek treat! Our trip to Urban Vegan Kitchen (UVK) was lively, delicious, surprising, and fun. Highlights include: Buffalo Wings, Chick’un and Waffles, and the Mississippi Mud Pie. It was a spontaneous decision to meet hubby for dinner. Earlier that day I met up with a friend at a coffee shop, and on my…
Beet Risotto
Eat the rainbow! It’s sound advice if you’re trying to eat a healthier diet, because vegetables with big color usually have big nutritional value too. The vibrant colors are mother nature’s way of making healthy fruit and vegetables more appealing to animals. It’s no wonder why I’m drawn to bright berries and juicy red tomatoes…
Slow Cooker Bean Chili
Sometimes hubby and I have busy weeks, full of after hours work responsibilities and/or social plans. Many times our schedules oppose each others’ and there are weeks that we don’t eat dinner together at all. Those weeks can easily mean back-to-back takeout or fast food for dinner, but due to the costs of those options…
Banana Muffins
Brown bananas are a weekly output in our apartment. For whatever reason, we never manage to buy the bunches at the peak ripeness so that we can eat them all week long. Either they are too green and you can’t eat them right away, or they are too yellow and turn brown at too fast…
Breaded Tofu and Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Comfort food – not normally what comes to mind of when you think “vegan”. But this meal sure was comforting for both my mind and my tummy. All the elements of a good comfort meal were present: creamy mashed potatoes, gravy, slow roasted veggies, and breaded and fried tofu? Okay, maybe tofu is not what you…
Ribbon Veggie Noodle Stir-fry
Tonight’s dinner was really fun to make. I knew that we had all the ingredients to make a stir-fry, and I was in the mood for a stir-fry, but I was trying to think of a new, more exciting way to prepare it. We had asparagus and carrots in the fridge and, tired of the…
Date and Nut Bread
Yesterday hubby and I had a full Saturday of exploring, eating, and walking around town, so today, we couldn’t think of anything better to do than to do nothing. We started our lazy Sunday by sleeping in, watching the soccer match on TV and reading, and then I decided to do a little baking in…
