For the past week or so, I’ve been making this sandwich, and it’s instantly become one of our favorite recipes. It’s not often that we want to eat the same dish over and over again in the same day, but that’s been the case with this sandwich. It’s a hearty and filling sandwich, but we…
Indonesia has approximately 5,350 traditional recipes – apparently, somebody actually counted – but only 30 or so are considered staples. Rice, noodle, and soup dishes comprise the bulk of standard Indonesian cuisine; however, with over 300 ethnicities occupying the 6,000+ islands that makeup the nation, there are no hard and fast rules. While Indonesian cuisine…
Hawaiian cuisine, not unlike many other regional cuisines in the West, is comprised of a diverse amalgamation of foods and cooking methods brought to the island from other regions. While most traditional regional and ethnic cuisines rely heavily on animal ingredients, fruits and veggies are the cornerstone of Hawaiian cooking, namely pineapple, coconut, sweet potato,…
This ice cream is so easy to make! You don’t need any fancy equipment or special ingredients. All you need is a blender, a freezer, and a handful of basic ingredients you can find at any grocery store. As long as you have those things, you have vegan ice cream in your future! I’ve been…
Wow, this might be the only way I am ever going to make green beans again. OK, that’s probably an exaggeration, but these roasted green beans with cranberries and almonds far exceeded my expectations. I’ve seen this dish done many different ways, and I thought I could do better. I put a lot of thought,…
We’ve been trying to eat a lot healthier lately, so I figured one good way to start would be by replacing potato chips with kale chips. I know that probably sounds like a lame swap, but these cheesy ranch kale chips are really good! I could easily see these becoming my new favorite snack. Even…
If you’ve been looking for a super-healthy, easy-to-make cream cheese substitute, look no further! When we took a trip to New York City a few years ago, we were thrilled to see all the delis and bagel shops had house-made tofu cream cheese. It’s a simple tofu puree that doesn’t exactly taste like cream cheese,…
“It’s better than McDonald’s!” exclaimed one energetic little boy from HiHo Kids in a new Kids Try video. In the video, kids sample a variety of vegan foods for the first time, including faux chicken nuggets, sausage, bacon, and ice cream. Although the kids liked most of the food they tried – one girl fell…
Popular Californian chain, Fatburger, has added the Impossible Burger to their menu. Starting today, the burger will be part of their vegetarian menu, which currently consists of your choice between a Gardenburger or a Boca Burger. The Impossible Burger will be available at five Fatburger locations in Los Angeles, CA that are going to serve…
The Not Company must’ve learned a thing or two from Hampton Creek’s problems, because they are not mincing words, they tell customers exactly what they aren’t: They are Not Mayo, Not Milk, Not Yogurt, and definitely Not Cheese. They are, however, a vegan brand from Chile that will be hitting the shelves of Walmarts all…
This is not a warning. This is an alternate reality alert. I repeat, not a warning. We have drifted into an alternate reality. One in which McDonald’s actually has vegan fries and a vegan burger, and they don’t suck – they’re actually really good, according to hoards of reviews. McDonald’s just began trying out their…
Clarence Kennedy, an Olympic Irish weightlifter who can lift 485 lb over his head, reveals the massive amount of plant-based calories he eats in a day. Each meal consists of about 1,000 calories, and totals up to between 3,500 and 4,500 kcal for the day. Surprisingly, many of Clarence’s meals lean towards the junk-foodie side…
15 years ago, I worked at a feed store. Every day, during orange harvesting season, one of the local farmers who was a regular customer would stop by and give me a bag of his oranges. I would eat up to 10 or 12 of them a day. Another guy I worked with would frequently…
This is going to sound crazy, but you can actually cut the calories in rice in half by adding coconut oil to it. How? It’s simple: Science. That’s how. We’re often told that if we want to reduce the number of calories in our meals, we should cook without oil; however, it turns out rice…
Detoxes Have Been Debunked Many Times Yet the Trend Continues In the past few months alone, I have seen a slew of “detox” recipes and diet plans coming from prominent vegan websites and food bloggers. It’s upsetting to me because the whole detox fad is pseudo-scientific junk, and members of the vegan community, especially well-known…
I just came across an interesting video that changed my views on coconut oil being the “healthiest” oil out there. I’ve read a lot of information about coconut oil on health and fitness website that make a strong argument for why coconut oil is superior to all other oils – not just better, but actually…
We’ve been using nutritional yeast for many years. It’s one of our favorite foods, period. We incorporate it into several of our recipes, but we also sprinkle on whatever we might be eating, like popcorn, pasta, or pizza. I cannot emphasize enough how much we indulge ourselves on this tasty member of the fungi kingdom, but…
