I liked this method so much that I now sometimes substitute these for the zucchini noodles in keto pho and zucchini alfredo, the spaghetti squash in keto pad thai and spaghetti squash casserole, or the kelp noodles in kani salad. Once you learn how to cook shirataki noodles this way, I think you’ll be a convert for many of your pasta dishes, too. What Are Shirataki Noodles? Shirataki noodles, also called konjac noodles or miracle noodles, are a low- or zero-calorie noodle made from the root of the konjac plant....

Shakshuka is a Middle-Eastern dish that is not only perfect for breakfast and brunch, but also for a quick and delicious dinner. It’s perfect if you’re on a keto diet, but just as perfect for those who love their comfort food. Best of all, it truly couldn’t be easier to make. Follow me… How to make the BEST Shakshuka Shakshuka is essentially eggs poached in a tomato based sauce. The sauce is built up from layers of aromatics and spices, but at it’s core is a very simple sauce requiring few ingredients....

The process is as simple as searing the chicken breast and browning the veggies before putting them all together in the slow cooker, but you can even skip the browning step if you’re in a rush. What Is Chicken Cacciatore? Chicken cacciatore is a classic Italian dish prepared “hunter style” (cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian) and typically features tender chicken in a rustic sauce of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic....

When it comes to special just about all dinners, I’m all about the bread. Bread is the side dish that goes with just about everything. I don’t care if I’m eating pasta and piling carbs on carbs, this girl loves her bread! So it’s no surprise that I’m quite fond of dinner rolls, and pretty discriminating in my taste for them. Well let me tell you, these are not only the best vegan dinner rolls in the whole world, they’re the best dinner rolls period!...

I make these quite often because we are big peanut butter lovers and these cookies disappear in no time. chocolate Chip or CrunchyPeanut butter blossom Cookies

Today, I am sharing another very quick and easy recipe on my blog that tastes delicious. The recipe is for spicy garlic mushrooms. This dish can be served in a lot of different ways. You can serve it as an appetizer or a side dish with Indian or any other Asian meal. There are a lot of other ways in which these spicy mushrooms can be enjoyed and I have shared a lot of serving suggestions in the post ahead....

Someday I am going to be so organized. I just know it! A day will come when I’ll consistently have all of my blog posts ready to go, days and days in advance, and all I’ll have to do on my chosen posting day is hit a button and watch the blogosphere light up with vegan goodness. I’m so excited about this prospect. Alas, that day is not today. In fact, this isn’t even the post I had scheduled for today, but things get hectic and don’t go as planned, and I always try to keep a tasty little post or two tucked away for just that reason....

How To Make Stuffed Eggplant I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.

Let’s create a summer wellness juice that’s earthy but sweet and just a little bit bright, that combines powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals. Let’s drop some beets on this so-called life. Let’s make something that tastes damn good and looks like liquid rubies (that’s important)! Let’s do this. This fresh juice came together when I was feeling a little guilty about my recent diet–lots of unhealthiness present, to be sure–but I wanted something a little different from my regular, super earthy beet-and-carrot deal....

But, first things first, let’s begin with the basics by explaining what tamales are. What are Tamales? Tamales contain a combination of meat, cheese or vegetables all conveniently stuffed inside a corn-based dough. Then, these handheld treats are wrapped up in a corn husk and tied together with twine. Due to the way they are presented, unwrapping a freshly made tamale is just like opening a present on Christmas day!...

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best chicken teriyaki ingredients, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.

Tempeh is one of my favorite things to make veggie burgers out of. But it took me a while to come up with the perfect way to use tempeh in a burger. Here’s the thing about tempeh burgers: the tempeh really sucks up flavor. So when you’re putting it in a burger, you want to use intensely flavorful seasonings and sauces. Teriyaki sauce is perfect! But here’s the other thing: tempeh doesn’t hold together like other ingredients we normally make vegan burgers out of, namely, beans....

O fell in love with chicken fried tofu when we were pushing the limits of the “fill it up for $12” bowl at Whole Foods. My bowl clocked in at over 2.25 pounds, about which I was prrrrretty dern proud, and even prouder still on my second day of leftovers. My ability to overfill compostable bowls aside, O was immediately attracted to the crispy, golden cubes of chicken fried tofu nuggets and loaded up on them, begging me to make them again at home....

Greek Pasta Salad Alrighty, let’s hit this straight off the bat and address the elephant in the room shall we? 😂 What makes this pasta salad ‘Greek’? Whilst I’m sure there’s a million Greeks screaming at the idea of a Greek tuna pasta salad, the Greekness in this dish simply can’t be ignored. In fact, it should be celebrated! Here’s the stars of the show: Greek Feta Greek Yogurt Kalamata Olives...

Turkish Lamb Pide ‘Pide’ sounds like a fancy word, isn’t it? Well, the Turkish lamb pide is nothing but a kind of Turkish pizza. Along with other different varieties of bread, pide is also a very popular snack. First time I came across this in a TV food show. I was amazed to see so many varieties of bread that they do in Turkey. At first, it resembles so much to a pizza, though it is a dish in its own right....

Well now. Here we are, post Memorial Day, temperatures steadily climbing, and I’m posting a recipe for comfort food. Hearty, heavy, veganized chicken and dumplings no less. Serious comfort food. You know what though? It was really freaking good comfort food. No regrets. I didn’t really plan to post something like this in late May, but when I received a copy of Mastering the Art of Vegan Cooking by Annie and Dan Shannon for review, along with an invitation to choose from a few recipes for posting, this vegan chicken and dumplings recipe was the one that grabbed me....

Cream of broccoli soup isn’t normally on the menu if you’re vegan. In fact, it’s not even normally vegetarian (watch out for chicken broth). But it’s one of those soups that I remember from my childhood as being so cozy, so comforting, that I felt like I absolutely had to create a meatless and dairy-free version. The secret to a killer bowl of non-dairy creamy broccoli soup is coconut milk....

Okay, so the internet already has a million and one recipes for vegan doughnuts. But almost all of them are for baked doughnuts. These are different — they taste just like they came from a doughnut shop. That’s because they’re made just like doughnut shop doughnuts! Did you know that legit doughnut shop doughnuts aren’t baked? My husband didn’t. When I told him I wanted to make legit vegan doughnuts for once (for upcoming Fat Tuesday), he looked pretty confused....

Roast beef has never been my thing. I know, you’re shocked! So the idea of a French dip sandwich never appealed to me very much. In fact, I distinctly remember ordering a French dip at Denny’s when I was a little kid, and thinking I’d be getting something involving French onion dip, which definitely was my thing. I was hugely disappointed when a roast beef sandwich with a cup of meat juice showed up....

How do you make your favorite comfort food even more comforting? Turn it into soup! Soup is pretty much always super cozy and comforting, and a surprising number of dishes can be turned into soup (without being gross). I did this with cabbage rolls, enchiladas, lasagna, and even cheeseburgers. All turned out delicious! So when I saw mac & cheese soup on the menu of a local lunch place, I knew right away that I had to create a vegan version....
