Hi my name is Sarah Ahn and am the girl behind Ahnestveggie blog! I'm here to use my creativity and love for food to showcase how amazing and beautiful living a plant-based, vegan diet can be. Being vegan doesn't have to be either boring or flavorless.
As a Korean-American, I grew up eating meat (Korean BBQ for days) and all sorts of seafood, seasoning, and dairy. Back in 2008 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (inflammatory disease in my colon) where I lost over 20 lbs. I had excruciating burning pains in my stomach/intestine and food did not digest and went straight through my system. Although stress was the main trigger for this sickness, my diet affected it as well. Per doctor's orders, I had to cut most spicy foods, greasy fried foods, processed foods and eat more raw fruits and green vegetables. This was extremely difficult as my diet consisted of diet coke, fast foods, alcohol, eggs, cheese, pork, steak, etc.
After a few months, my symptoms seemed to have worsened and I was hospitalized for a blood transfusion and left myself, friends and family in shock and fear. I knew I had to do something quick about my health. It was not until 2012 that I started to really focus on what I was putting into my body. I started cooking more, was aware of what ingredients were going into my food, focused incorporating vegetables and cutting red meat out of my diet. I decided then to try a full vegetarian diet to help cope with the pain and it seemed to have worked. I was a vegetarian for about 2 years since then.
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! 
PIZZA. CAKE. YES, YOU ARE WELCOME :)
Three layers of Sun Dried Tomato Jalapeño Cornbread + refried beans, nacho cheese, guacamole, pizza sauce, all them veggies, is this real life?! Why yes, yes it is :) After promising to you guys this epic recipe in 
I honestly can't remember how Chris and I came up with this recipe idea -- we were chatting one day about future blog posts etc. that we wanted to create, and one way or another, a pizza cake came to mind. Our original idea was a bit different, but after being blown away by mexican-style pizzas from our friends Alex and Kristin (Mr. and Mrs. Vegan), we just couldn't resist. 
Nothing beats a good, hearty, flavor packed burrito, especially one that is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and plant-power! I decided I would make a simple, high-raw vegan recipe for you all as this is one that I enjoy on a normal basis as a "raw till 4" style dinner.
Unique, flavorful and nutrient dense layers, coming right at ya!
