A stir-fry is inevitably one of my favorite dishes to make after a workout or a long day of studying. It’s relatively quick, you can switch up ingredients, and the sesame oil gives it such a delicous umami flavor that seeps into your tastebuds with every bite. It’s also a great way to incorporate a lot … More Rainbow Veggie & Tofu Stir Fry
I’m not going to lie. Some of the vegan meat products currently out on the market can be downright heinous in terms of taste or texture. Let’s be honest here: no one fancies a vegan “burger” that looks and tastes like a piece of grilled condensed carboard. No. We want flavor, we want “meatiness”, and we appreciate … More Product Review: Beyond Meat’s Beast Burger
I am a huge fan of crêpes; both making and eating them. They’re so delicate and elegant while virtually being no trouble at all to make with minimal ingredients. I make them for breakfast and usually save a couple to eat later as a light lunch or even dinner (!). Also, my family (non-vegans) are … More Vegan Crêpes + Video Tutorial!
Though pizza isn’t necessarily deemed as a ‘health food’, I think we can all agree that a life without pizza is just a life not-fulfilled. It’s dark. Depressing. Void of all things beautiful and savory and loaded with carb-esq goodness. Now, this isn’t some genuine Italian nonna recipe that was handed down for generations in … More Personal Pizzas + Video Tutorial!
Do you dislike salads as much as I do? Great, because I have the perfect solution for you. When I tell someone I’m a vegan, I’m often hit with the line: “Oh wait, so you just eat grass and stuff right?” (…Really??) Honestly, one of the things I really don’t like is salads. They’re boring. They’re leafy. … More Buddha Bowls + Video Tutorial!
Four cans of sweet corn sat in the corner of our cupboard, abandoned and hopeless at the thought of ever being used. Frankly, I didn’t even know why we had canned corn. No one at home really eats the stuff anyways. After a few minutes of searching for ingredients that would pair well both in … More Black Bean Corn Cakes + Video Tutorial!
“Mm.. pasta“, I thought to myself while sweating for my life and finishing a run on the treadmill last week. I’ll admit though, before I was a vegan I didn’t indulge much in my pasta fantasies due my irrational fear of calories and my milk allergy. But today I want to show you how to … More Tomato & Mushroom Pasta + Video tutorial!
Being the only vegan in my family, I have to admit that sometimes going out can be a little stressful and/or disappointing due to the limited options available to me at certain places, say the beach. Here in Puerto Rico, the coastline where locals and tourists unite to catch waves and rays is dotted top to bottom … More Food Diaries: Beach Adventure
In the past, I have experimented with and tried various vegan and vegetarian recipes but ultimately they fail at one of two criteria for pancake goodness: (1) consistent fluffy texture or (2) the taste. Fear not, fellow pancake aficionados. I have found such a heavenly and divine recipe that you’d think the pancake gods themselves created … More Fluffy Vegan Pancakes + Video Tutorial!
I make smoothies on the regular, whether it be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There’s really nothing easier than tossing a few fruits and veggies into a blender and flipping the ‘on’ switch. However, with the hot summer months closing in, I thought about making a few smoothies and turning them into frozen treats to stave off … More Summer Smoothie ‘Paletas’
