I get so excited over holiday food. Every day I seem to be at my computer browsing recipes for cookies, cakes, and bars. And now that I’m vegan, I’m still on the hunt for the perfect recipes I can coerce my family into trying. For thanksgiving, I conned them all into switching over to my vegan pies!
Today I’m sharing with you, a recipe for the most scrumptious and elegant vegan cupcakes I’ve ever seen. They’re Red Velvet Cupcakes, originally from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World!
I love hearty meals. I also love using my slow cooker. Not only does it’s use signify several warm and hearty dinners and lunches ahead, but it also makes the house smell good enough to eat, all day long!
If you’ve been looking to pull your slow cooker out of the back of the cupboard, and put it to good use, I’ve found the perfect recipe! Vegan Chili with Winter Squash and Zucchini!
HEY! – Quit drooling on my blog! This vegan pepperjack panini spotlights the amazing and vegan Daiya Cheese! If you’ve never tried Daiya before, it’s dairy-free cheese shreds — that both melts and stretches like real cheese! It currently comes in 3 traditional flavors; mozzarella, cheddar, and lastly pepperjack — which will be featured in this delicious sandwich! Go to the vegan section of your local grocery and pick up a bag!
Just in time for Halloween, I’ve got a recipe to knock your socks off! Who doesn’t love creamy chocolate and gooey caramel? An idiot, that’s who. This chocolate bar even has a cookie in it! You can’t hate on cookies.
As you know, Canadian Thanksgiving was just a week ago. As a girl, mornings of the week following Thanksgiving were spent with all my family hovering over a loaf of wonder bread with mayo and leftover Turkey, making up our lunches. And even know as a vegan, I kind of miss those festive lunches of post-thanksgivings-past.
And this Vegan Chickpea Salad Recipe fits the bill. It’s loaded with celery, walnuts, apples, and cranberry! And, once you make it, it’s fridge friendly- making great sandwiches and pitas for grab-and-go, or to pack in your lunches!
I had been on a hunt for a while for a yummy vegan treat to bring with me to my family’s upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. Usually the bearer of apple pies, once I found this recipe for Vegan Pecan Pumpkin Butter, I decided to try something new. This autumn-approved recipe is perfect served as a jam on toast, or even turned into a delectable dessert atop a slice of pound cake!
Pico de gallo is a great raw salsa using fresh ingredients like Lime, Jalapeno, and even mango on occasions! Pico de Gallo is a great dish for vegans and vegetarians to master, because it’s versatile – and can be paired with a number of dishes! Easilly turn nachos into an entree, or turn a simple rice tortilla into a fresh, filling entree!
My recipe is simple, easy to make, and uses a variety of fresh ingredients easy to obtain.
Last weekend I had the opportunity to spend the weekend at the beautiful Toronto Harbourfront Centre, stuffing my face with delicious Vegan treats. Every year, the Toronto Vegetarian Association hosts this amazing event, filled with delectable treats to take home, venders serving up hot fresh cusine from their eateries around the city, and animal activists all aroudn the city can meet, eat and relax!
Here are some more photos of the event from the Official Flickr page for the event, as well as some snapshots I took, below..
I love documentaries. It doesn’t really matter the subject matter, I’ll watch it. A little while back, I saw a post on Vegansaurus with a link to Earthlings, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, a well known vegan. I’m not big on scare tactics, and though this entire movie is pretty graphic, horrific, and un-settling, I figured I would share it, as it’s moving and very well made.
If you’ve been interested in Veganism for some time and are looking for something to persuade you, look no further. If you’re vegan and losing motivation, look no further. If you’re looking for material to share with your friends and family to shut them up about your eating habits, look no further.
Interested? You can stream it online for free via the Earthlings website.
P.S – I’m not kidding about the graphic part. At one point I had to pause the movie and walk away to cry and hug my cat before I could even finish. It’s really jarring, Don’t say I didn’t warn your little, empathetic heart.
I recently picked up the ‘Veganomicon‘, a staple for any new (or uninspired) vegan! It features an enormous array of classic and new recipes ranging from spreads and dips, to full on courses, like the Quinoa Salad (above).
‘This salad is incredibly versatile. The basic is idea is something sweet, something hearty and a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to pull it all together, in this case cilantro. The dressing is super simple; a little vinegar and oil. All of these components can be filled in by you like one big culinary mad lib.’
And, lucky for you, they’ve published this fabulous recipe online over at the PPK! Click here for the recipe!
