Roasted Kale Salad w/ Easy Hummus Dressing {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com #kale #hummus #kalesalad #30daysofgreen #healthychallenge #easyvegan #kalehackI know that it may be difficult for some to eat raw kale in a salad as it naturally has a slightly bitter flavor, but a great way to serve it if that is the case is to roast it first! Not only does it add a new layer of texture to this salad, it brings out a whole new flavor in the kale. I made this recipe in collaboration with PlantPure Communities, a nonprofit organization that was formed partly as an outgrowth of the 2015 hit movie PlantPure Nation directed by Nelson Campbell. In order to celebrate Earth Day, they have created a 30 day challenge to eat leafy greens every day of the month of April called #30daysofgreen. #30DaysofGreen Challenge sweetsimplevegan.comPart of their work is to raise awareness about nutrition research, much of which was led by Nelson’s father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell in the book The China Study, and they strive to promote the benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle in a way that is accessible to a diverse audience. Their social media challenge will provide everything from recipes and nutritional information to cooking tips and health advice–all relating back to the importance of daily greens!

Happy Friday everyone! Chris and I partnered up with iHerb, an online natural products retailer that sells discounted products for all of your needs, and we worked together to create a "What A Vegan Couple Eats In a Day" series on our YouTube channel and blog using a wide array of vegan products we found on their site. You can check out all of the recipes and video below, and please let us know what you think! We would love to possibly continue this series as a regular feature on the blog :)

Smoky Tofu & Kabocha Squash Buddha Bowls {easy + oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.comThe beautiful result of a combination of leftovers in the fridge. I don't know about you, but when we are able to put together not only a beautifully presented but also delicious and hearty meal solely from the leftovers we have in our refrigerator, I feel very accomplished ???? There's something about a good hearty buddha bowl that just brings a smile to my face--especially one filled with some of our favorite savory ingredients-- and I hope that this recipe will help do the same for you :)

Not a fan of tofu? We honestly weren't huge fans either. Actually, before Chris and I went vegan, and even shortly after, we were convinced that we did not like tofu. In reality, the problem was that we simply didn’t know how to cook it. Once we learned how to properly prepare tofu, this all changed and now we LOVE tofu, and we hope this tutorial will do the same for you too.Not only are we going to share with you our absolute FAVORITE way to prepare tofu, but also a few tips on how to perfectly prepare tofu so that you can nail it every time you use it in the kitchen. The marinade for this recipe was inspired by our oil-free Carrot Lox recipe on the blog. We fell in love with the smoky flavor and knew we had to experiment in using the marinade on other ingredients, and we hit the JACKPOT with this smoky tofu recipe!
