One night, during the COVID-19 lock-down, in an attempt to make a quick yet tasty gluten free mac and cheese for myself, I grabbed the only gluten-free noodles I had left.  They so happened to be the millet and brown rice ramen from Costco. Adding a few simple ingredients I had on hand, I threw something together that turned out quite good if I do say so myself. Check out the recipe for it below.

I don’t know about you but pasta is a staple in our house. One of the easiest recipes to make with pasta is spaghetti, but what is spaghetti without the meatballs? Before going vegan, I made them with ground turkey.  Now, I make them with lentils! One of the perks about making them with lentils versus raw meat is that you can taste test as you are making it to see if you need to add anything.  That being said, this was a bit of trial and error getting the right consistency and the right flavor.  However, I’ve finally gotten it hubby and kid approved, so it is time to share the recipe! 

Before going vegan, chicken salad sandwiches were a staple in our household, especially in the summer. They are quick to throw together while being light and refreshing. Since going vegan, I have found that chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) make a great substitute for chicken. Not only are they a good source of protein, but they taste great and have a  suitable texture for this.  So, without further ado, let’s get into my recipe for veganized chicken salad sandwich filling!

Before going vegan, a frequent dinner in our house was taco nights.  They were easy to make, everyone loved them, and they were pretty cheap to make.  Since going vegan in January 2018, finding a homemade, easy, cheap, vegan recipe for taco meat that everyone enjoyed was a challenge.  One night, I threw some things together and hoped for the best and it was a success! I have tweaked the recipe since that fateful night and recently measured out the exact amounts so I can share this recipe with the rest of you. Vegan and non-vegan family members alike have enjoyed this recipe so if you’re looking for a vegan taco meat recipe, I hope you give this recipe a try.
