One restaurant I miss is Olive Garden! I’m a carb lover, give me all of the carbs!Alfredo was my most favourite dish(with broccoli and chicken, mind you), and I’ll have to find a vegan recipe for some Alfredo! In the meantime, this post isn’t about Alfredo (unfortunately), it is about another seemingly popular dish: Zuppa… Read More Vegan Zuppa Toscana
I only recently discovered the incredible elote and if you haven’t had it.. You’re missing out!! One of my favourite vegan food trucks had elote as a side dish and I just fell in love! Unfortunately that food truck has closed up shop and I’m without elote. Well, vegan elote that is. I make this… Read More Elote
Sundubu (or soondubu) is hands down my favourite soup ever. It’s a Korean soup that I fell in love with before going vegan and one that has been so easy to veganize that it makes no sense to me to ever suggest adding meat! It’s savoury, it’s spicy, it’s filling, it’s delicious. This is an… Read More Tofu Soup
Also known as Kapusta kiszona duszona (stewed cabbage/sauerkraut), is a popular Polish dish that traditionally has pork. However, since pork is one cause of heart disease and cancer, we stay away from it. If you saw our pierogi blog, you know I’ve been trying to get more into my Polish heritage. So far, I love Polish food.… Read More Kapusta-Cabbage Soup
김밮 or gimbap or a type of sushi roll. Another Korean recipe that we’ve been eating A TON of here in the chickpea household.

김치 볶음밥 or kimchi bokkeumbap or kimchi fried rice.No matter what you call it, it’s delicious! Korean food is one of my favourite foods to eat and cook and I hate cooking! The reason I like cooking Korean food is because it’s delicious, it’s easy, and super customizable. Which means if you don’t have something… Read More Kimchi Fried Rice
“I could never be vegan. I like cheese too much.” -Every omnivore ever. Same though.Cheese is my weakness. I could eat cheese every day of my life and be the happiest person in the world! I’ve tried some non dairy cheeses and some are just plain disgusting! I’m a picky eater, so I’m difficult to… Read More Creamy Cheese
(Written by hubby)After making the shift to full-time vegan, I had been looking for something quick, easy, and nutritious to take to work for lunch for sometime. I needed something that didn’t need refrigeration, heating, or long preparation times. I found overnight oats. The recipes that were readily available always included milk and yogurt, which… Read More Overnight Oats
My favourite food is breakfast. Mainly savoury breakfasts! Bacon and eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy breakfast sandwiches, all of it! Since going vegan I haven’t been able to eat those yummy foods. Yeah yeah, I know “Kaylan eat tofu scrambles!”Nah man, it’s not the same and I’m not the biggest fan of tofu. I have wanted… Read More Rice Paper Bacon
