VEGAN LOBSTER CHOWDER
With the cooler weather, this vegan lobster chowder is the perfect comfort meal to make! We always feel very happy with ourselves when we can recreate a classic seafood dish using only vegan ingredients. To mimic the texture of lobster, we used oyster mushrooms! Oyster mushrooms have a great, meaty texture that is perfect for…

VEGAN ZUPPA TOSCANA
This vegan zuppa Toscana is an amazing, unique and filling soup. The weather here in Ontario is starting to cool down a bit and with fall around the corner, a soup was necessary. As summer ends, we definitely begin thinking about warmer, comfort foods. There’s nothing like being inside on a chilly day in comfy…

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…

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…
