When Best of Vegan hosts a Best of Vegan Burger Contest, best believe that Chris and I are going to enter.
The creation of this burger actually came together all on its own. Almost all of the ingredients that are in this burger were already available to us to use in my home, with the exception of the bread, mushrooms and large tomatoes that we ran to the store for.
Afternoon snack attack? I've got you covered {and it's healthy, too!}. I wanted to put together a savory snack for once, and I think I nailed this one ;)
Not only will this satisfy your mid day slump, but it will also bring to you a plethora of nutrients in every bite! I included a whole slew of vegetables, healthy whole food fats {hemp and chia seeds} + probiotics.
Healthy neapolitan waffle sundaes that is vegan, gluten-free AND oil-free?! I know I know, you already knew that from the title, but I just had to repeat it to myself. Prior to going vegan or having any sort of exposure to this lifestyle, I would have never that could be done!
Have you ever photographed ice cream? OH MY GOD is what I have to say to that. I plated these Waffle Sundaes and felt like everything was suddenly PANIC mode. I had to do all that I could to beat the melt of the ice cream, luckily I had Chris with me to help to shoot these photos and some for our roundup. I think that we did a good job in the tight time, I am very happy with the photos <3 But most importantly, I was pleased by the outcome of this recipe! I appears indulgent but is made from nothing but healthy ingredients, oil-free, and allll vegan of course. The variation of textures and flavors created such a well rounded dish.
I can't wait to make these again for a Vegan Super Bowl Sunday...or as we called it, Souper Bowl Sundae ;)

An easy, no-fuss recipe that is filling, comforting, and does not skimp on flavor one bit. I was actually very surprised by how fluffy these pancakes turned out to be, considering I did not use any baking soda. I have been seeing oat-banana-nut-milk pancakes all over Instagram and I finally had to try my hand at it + the fancy food styling that always comes along with it as well ;)
The day I made these in the kitchen was also a day where Chris and I worked on 2 other recipes, his Epic Thanksgiving Leftovers Pizza and his Easy to Make Potato Leek Soup in Sourdough Bread Bowls as shown in the recipe video I put together for this (below). My favorite out of them had to be his bread bowl soup ;P
I 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.
