BUTTERNUT SQUASH STUFFED SHELLS
You can get so creative with stuffed shells, such as these butternut squash stuffed shells! Traditionally these jumbo shells are stuffed with ricotta cheese and topped with tomato sauce.

VEGAN FRENCH ONION SOUP
Vegan French onion soup was a must make for us as soon as fall hit! Growing up my mom used to make me French onion soup during the colder seasons. It was only fitting that I made a vegan version of my own! I don’t know if I can put it into words but, do…

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM STEAKS
These portobello mushroom steaks are so perfect for a holiday or fancy meal! We have been attracted to portobello mushrooms lately because of their deep earthy flavour and meaty texture. Portobellos contain a lot of moisture so we used a bake and pan fry method to get most of that water content out of the…

TOFU BANH MI SANDWICH
This tofu banh mi sandwich turned out absolutely incredible. Banh mi sandwiches are basically a Vietnamese version of a submarine sandwich. They are traditionally served on a baguette style bun and loaded with meat and pickled vegetables. You won’t be seeing any meat on our plates so we used marinated tofu as our substitute! By…

SAUSAGE FENNEL PENNE
We absolutely loved how this sausage fennel penne pasta turned out. If you haven’t tried Beyond Meats Italian sausage, you’re missing out. They did an amazing job of recreating both the texture and taste of traditional Italian sausage. My stepdad is a pretty hardcore Italian so I grew up eating a lot of meals like…

CHILLI LETTUCE WRAPS
Reyhan and I have been craving Mexican food lately but we wanted to try something a little different! I have heard of having chilli in lettuce wraps before but have never tried.

SESAME TEMPEH STRIPS
If you’re looking for a vegan meat swap – these sesame tempeh strips are perfect. When we went first vegan, we weren’t the biggest fans of tempeh. As we learned more about vegan foods and how to cook them correctly, it changed things. Tempeh is a soy based protein alternative to meat! It is such…
