Hearty Soy Curl Stew With Cheesy Pastry Straws

March 22, 2022 by Izabela

Hearty Soy Curl Stew

This cozy stew is perfect for cold nights when you want something filling and full of flavor! The soy curls add a "chicken" texture which is perfect for this dish. Hearty Soy Curl Stew With Cheesy Pastry Straws In these early days of spring it's hard not to jump into warm weather mode; clothing and all! Mother Nature on the other hand likes to remind us that there are still chillier days ahead and so this stew is a perfect transitional dish from winter to spring or fall to winter! This soy curl stew is reminiscent of the chicken pot pies and beef stews my mom used to make when I was a kid. We'd usually pair it with a slice of Polish rye bread and dip it into the stew when it was ...

Easy Chickpea Toona Smash

March 2, 2022 by Izabela

This easy chickpea toona smash will remind you of the days when you used to eat tuna for lunch but instead it's cruelty free! When I was a kid, I LOVED tuna sandwiches for lunch. My mom made them so saucy with mayo and onion and I didn't care how bad my breath smelled when I brought it to school LOL! Moving into my adult life I definitely still ate it but as I started learning about animal agriculture and it's harmful effects on our environment, I stopped grabbing the tins of tuna to stock my pantry with. Still, I longed for something that would replace that delicious mayo-y, creamy, savoury goodness of tuna so I went looking on the internet for a vegan tuna recipe. A lot came back ...

Vegan Double Chocolate Brownies

January 28, 2022 by Izabela

Sweet friends, I did it. Just when I thought I made a really GOOD peanut butter brownie recipe yesterday, I went and made some MIND BLOWING double chocolate brownies today, and friends, you'd never think that a.) they're vegan & gluten free and b.) they're made with chickpeas!! The idea stemmed from the over abundance of chickpeas due to the fact that I make royal icing for my sugar cookies with aquafaba. I was having a serious fridge situation with cans upon cans of drained chickpeas just sitting in there waiting for their moment of glory LOL. For the past few months I had been just roasting the chickpeas in the oven and seasoning them with a blend of nutritional yeast, onion ...

The Vegan Alternatives List

May 31, 2021 by Izabela

Vegan alternatives can be tricky but fortunately in abundance these days! Today I'm talking all things vegan alternatives so I hope your coffee is hot and you're ready to dive in. A lot of times on Instagram I'm asked to share my personal recommendations on everyday products that are easy swaps to make when switching to a plant based diet- a "vegan starter kit"- if you will, LOL. So that's what I'm going to do! When we started our vegan journey we leaned a LOT on plant based products because it was the easiest way to take out the things we didn't want to eat without reinventing the wheel. While we do still eat meat alternatives from time to time, I do strive to eat a more whole foods ...
