Easy Hummus Sauerkraut Salad sweetsimplevegan.comI put together a recipe inspired by my friend Vegetaryn for lunch the other day, and it turned out so good that I wanted to share it here with you all to try out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT73Fpha3t8 If you don't have all of these ingredients OR if you do not like some of them, that is okay! This recipe is actually all about the dressing --sauerkraut and hummus-- then you can add in whatever you'd like inside of it.

My Mom's Famous "Sweet Simple Beans" -- Easy & Oil-free sweetsimplevegan.comOne of my mother's best recipes EVER for you all to try out :) Not only are these jam packed with flavor, they are effortless, and can even be made while you sleep.
The way my mom measures rice is, well, not the usual method. From my YouTube video I have realized it is of my mom's Chinese origin, and I will try to explain it as best I can.

Vegan Avocado Yogurt Ranch Dressing {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.comEvery time someone tells me that they have a hard time eating salads, I always tell them that what they are in need of is good a dressing. Not just any dressing, but one that is still healthy and free of any added oils. Why ruin a perfectly healthy salad with a fatty and unhealthy dressing? Before going vegan and eating healthy in general, I was used to eating my salads doused with ranch dressing. Well, I decided to make a healthier vegan version of ranch dressing, and this is what was born :) I was also inspired by my friend Ashley Clark and her raw vegan ranch dressing that I was fortunate enough to try at a potluck last summer.

I honestly cannot keep up with all of these holidays, who the heck picks them anyways? Well, I am going to have to thank that person in part for this recipe, cause if it wasn't for a random email hitting my inbox telling me of this holiday, this recipe would not have been born! I had so so many vegan marshmallows in my pantry and this was the perfect excuse to use them all up.Popcorn Krispies S'mores w/ Sweet Potato & Black Bean Fudge {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com
