The day had finally come where Chris and I had our parents meet :) It was nerve wrecking for me, and I am not sure why. His parents are so kind and personable, and I already knew that they would hit it off, but I guess it was just one of those things, a step in our relationship that I had butterflies in my tummy for. I did not vlog the day for my YouTube channel as I was not sure how they would have felt about it, and it was one of those in the moment events we had to be fully immersed in. We all sat out on our back patio on our couches and just chatted for hours about everything. Well, more so our parents, Chris and I got up here and there cause I needed a break LOL but trust me, after all the cooking and bouts of stress, you would too.
Okay so onto the food....we blew it out of the park! We rocked this vegan brunch spread and our parents were thoroughly impressed by all of the food, especially the bagels and lox, it made us so happy <3 We always want to be able to show that vegan food is delicious, easy, and so fun to make & share with your loved ones. Being able to show people new and creative ideas we have in the kitchen is something that I honestly find so much joy in. Both his and my parents are not vegan, so of course it is even more of a plus that they loved the food. I mean, they all are so open to our lifestyles and have made positive changes in light of our own, but anything we can do to give them that extra push, we are going to do it!
Here is a summary of the brunch that we served to our parents, I hope you can try these recipes! They were actually very easy to make, and I was surprised by how less of a stressful night/morning it actually was. The most time consuming part was the bagels just because of the rising time and extra time for boiling, but other than that, we were able to prepare things ahead of time (two days ahead for the lox, night before for the bagel dough, night before for marinating the veggies, and salad), so that the morning of we just put the final touches.
Homemade Bagels + oil-free cream cheese, homemade carrot lox, capers and red onions
Just when you thought breakfast couldn't get any better, we present to you our Vegan Breakfast Nachos! These babies are oil-free, loaded with some amazing plant ingredients and guess what! You can eat as much as you'd like as these are good for ya, and won't have you feeling like poop after :P
We are back at it again with another savory breakfast idea for you to try out. If you haven't already check it out, last month we shared a Loaded Vegan Chickpea Omelette recipe that you will DEFINITELY want to try out if you love these nachos.
This recipe is part of a vegan brinner collaboration. What is brinner? Well that is a great question, I had to think twice about that myself haha. Brinner = breakfast for dinner and it is something that I have enjoyed my whole life but didn't have a name for. It just makes breakfast foods and dinner that much more enjoyable.
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!
