Vegan Meatball Sub Sandwich w/ Cashew Parmesan & Caramelized Onions (oil-free) sweetsimplevegan.com #oilfree #meatball #vegan #sub #hearty #caramelizedonions #homemadeparmesan #cashewparm #veganmeat Meatball subs were a childhood favorite of mine. I had them often, and they were always reminiscent of times with family and friends. Growing up in an Italian household, they were pretty much a staple. Thankfully, we've created a vegan alternative, and in my opinion these vegan meatball subs are way better as they are free from cholesterol, saturated fat, and any of the harm associated with its counterpart.

Thai Peanut Roasted Veggie Sandwich {easy + oil-free} #thai #peanut #sandwich #vegan #oilfree #easyveganA unique yet simple veggie sandwich that's rich in flavor and jam packed with an array of nutrients! We're big fans of peanut sauce in our house, and we decided to share with you a new way we have been serving it up. We were inspired by the Soba Noodle Salad w/ Easy Peanut Sauce that we created and shared a couple of months ago. We tweaked our peanut sauce and somehow made it even tastier, and instead of noodles, we threw it in between two slices of our favorite bread because everything is better with bread, right? What was born, this Thai Peanut Roasted Veggie Sandwich, is incredible. It is easy + oil-free and can be made gluten-free by simply using a gluten-free bread!

Eggplant & Tofu Stir Fry {hclf oil & gluten-free} sweetsimplevegan.comI always love myself a gooood gingery stir fry, and this one hits the spot. I put together this recipe 2 days ago, and I have already made it twice since then. Not only is it a simple recipe, but it keeps well for a few days and when served with rice, is a substantial and nutrient dense meal. Always be sure to use organic & non-GMO tofu, and for this recipe, opt for extra firm to avoid crumbling. This recipe is a part of my Healthy Oil-Free Vegan Christmas Menu from my 2015 dinner with my boyfriend Chris. We worked together in the kitchen to put together a few dishes to share with you all here on our blogs, to give you some inspiration and ideas for easy recipes you can try out during your next {holiday} gathering or dinner party.
