This week are bringing something a little different to the table -- we were challenged by our friend Lisa aka The Viet Vegan to create a recipe that is not only MOUTH WATERING good but one that also equates to a $10 meal.
For Lisa's recipe, she created a Vietnamese Style Stir Fry. Check out both of our recipes, and let us know which one(s) you would like to try out!
I 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. 
Part 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!
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!
These glazed carrots have that oven-roasted appearance and taste, but they are actually cooked on the stove and SO EASY to make! They make the perfect appetizer or even an add on ingredient to a macro/buddha bowl. Today I am sharing with you not only a new hit recipe in our kitchen, but also an amazing GIVEAWAY to win a case of 12 vegetable juices delivered straight to your home! 
I had never attempted to cook kabocha squash as I had heard a lot of how inconvenient it was to cut and prepare it at home. But in reality, I realized that it is SO EASY to prepare kabocha squash-- prebaking it is the KEY to easing this process.
I want you all to be able to enjoy this god sent vegetable (seriously, it will change your life :P), so I put together a step-by-step tutorial and video to do just that.
I know I know, healthy is boring, right? WRONG, I promise :) I rounded up the best of the best, mouthwatering, flavor packed and guilt-free recipes that would be perfect for you to bring to a party and impress a crowd.
AND not only are these recipes vegan, they are also oil-free and made mostly of whole food ingredients, woot woot!
