• Puff Pastry
• Onion
• Pinto Beans
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Jamaican curry powder
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Thyme
• Paprika
• Plain Breadcrumbs
• Vegetable Broth

Make The Filling

In a medium mixing bowl mix together the pinto beans, bread crumbs and walnuts. Gently smash the pinto beans until chunky but not mushy. This will ensure you leave some texture in your beef patties. In a medium pan over low-medium heat, sauté the diced onions with a Tbsp of neutral cooking oil.
Sauté until the onion is translucent. Add salt and pepper to taste. Next add in the bean-walnut mixture, mixing them in with the sautéed onion. After about 2 -3 minutes add in the seasonings, bread crumbs, and vegetable broth. Stir until combined. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until broth has evaporated then remove from heat.

Bake The Patties

Remove the pastry puff from the fridge. On a clean counter surface, sprinkle with 1-2 tbsp of flour to keep the dough from sticking. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a medium thin layer. Preheat oven to 375°. Spoon about 1-1½ tbsp of the filling into each disc. Dip your finger in water and lightly dab the outside of the disc to help seal the edges. Fold over the disc to create a half circle shape. Use a fork to press down the edges. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all discs have been filled. Bake the patties for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned. Enjoy!

Portobello Mushroom Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Portobello Mushroom Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Deliciously grilled portobello mushroom steak. Drizzled with freshly prepared Chimichurri sauce.

Before going vegan I used to hate mushrooms. I think it was the texture and not so much the taste. Is there something you didn’t like before going vegan and then afterwards you’ve grown to love it? If so, drop it in the comments below. But back to mushrooms, once I discovered meals like this portobello mushroom steak I’ve been hooked on mushrooms ever since. It is important to note though, cooking mushrooms lightly is the best way to ensure they remain a healthy part of your anti-inflammatory diet. Let’s Partii!

Gather the ingredients

For this recipe the main focus is on the portobello mushrooms but most of the ingredients are pulled out as we prepare the chimichurri sauce. This Argentinian inspired sauce is paired perfectly with these portobello mushroom steaks because it’s so light and flavorful.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started with this recipe.

• Portobello Mushrooms
• Kosher Salt
• Chopped Parsley
• Garlic
• Salt
• Ground Pepper
• Chili Pepper Flakes
• Fresh Oregano Leaves
• Shallot
• Vegetable Oil
• Red Wine Vinegar
• Lemon Juice

Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce

Next you’ll want to add all the ingredients minus the portobello mushrooms and kosher salt to a blender or food processor and lightly pulse. Be sure not to blend. I made this mistake the first time and it turned out too smooth. The desired texture for chimichurri is meant to be slightly chunky. Once adequately pulsed set aside until it’s time to serve with the lightly grilled portobello mushroom steaks.

Prepare the Portobello Mushroom Steaks

Now you’ll want to prepare the portobello mushrooms for grilling. Again, if you’d like to keep the anti-inflammatory properties of the mushrooms be sure to grill the steak lightly. To clean the portobello mushrooms simply wash the mushrooms and then dry with towel. Ensure you don’t wash the mushrooms until you’re ready to eat. If you wash them too far in advance your mushrooms might become waterlogged and moldy.

Once clean heat your grill and lightly brush the mushrooms with oil. Then sprinkle with kosher salt. Starting with the bottom side down grill the mushrooms over medium heat for bout 5 – 7 minutes. Then flip the mushrooms over and grill the other side for about 5 – 7 minutes.

Slice the portobello mushrooms when ready to serve, drizzle the chimichurri sauce on top and serve warm!

How do I make this into a well balanced meal?

You can easily pair this with leafy greens like arugula, spinach, kale, etc. Brown rice or quinoa as your whole grain and add another side of veggies like carrots, beets, or another colorful side.

Kung Pao Cauliflower Noodle Bowl

Kung Pao Cauliflower Noodle Bowl

This kung pao cauliflower noodle bowl is an easy weeknight dinner option. Easily customize and add vegetables on hand to create your own bowl.

We are starting the new year off healthier! Plus, if there’s one thing I’ve learned as I enter this new year it’s to work smarter and not necessarily harder all the time. That said some days you just need an easy meal option like this kung pao cauliflower noodle bowl. But here’s the great thing about this recipe, it also has some anti inflammatory properties too! I’ll go over all of that below. For now… Let’s Partii!

Gather Ingredients

This recipe calls for many ingredients you already have in your pantry or fridge. Which is the great thing about this kung pao cauliflower noodle bowl. If you’re like me and one of your goals this year is to get healthier, then going the anti inflammatory route is the key. Did you know inflammation is one of the leading causes of disease? And the American diet is laced with inflammatory foods like red meat, dairy, alcohol, refined grain and more! So eating a healthy vegan diet is definitely a great step in the right direction to better health.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this noodle bowl:

Breaded Cauliflower
1head cauliflower
6Tablespoons aquafaba
¾ cup almond flour
1teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2teaspoon Salt
1/2teaspoon Pepper
Kung Pao Noodle Broth
1tsp neutral oil
1Tbsp miso paste
1/3cup water
⅛ teaspoon tamari
½ teaspoon rice vinegar
½ tablespoon sriracha
8oz brown rice noodles
Noodle Bowl
sliced zucchini
sliced carrots
spinach
torn cilantro
lime
tofu (optional)

Make the Air Fried Cauliflower

To make the cauliflower first preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees or oven to 420.
Core the cauliflower and cut into larger florets. Add the aquafaba to a small bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

Dip the cauliflower into the aquafaba, and then coat in the almond flour mixture.
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet until ready to cook.Continue with the remaining cauliflower.

Spray the bottom of your air fryer or a parchment lined baking sheet with oil.
Add the cauliflower in a single layer. Spray the top. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes in the air fryer or 20 to 22 minutes in the oven, until golden brown, flipping half way through.

Make the Kung Pao Noodle Broth

Add 1 tsp neutral oil to medium saucepan. Allow to heat through over medium heat.
Then add miso paste, 1/3 cup water, soy sauce, sriracha and rice vinegar to saucepan. Whisk together and allow this to cook over medium heat until thoroughly combined and bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Next add the brown rice noodles and allow to simmer until al dente. Timing will differ depending on noodle brand so check package instructions closely but this should typically take only 4 – 5 minutes.

Remove noodles from saucepan once finished cooking and add to bowl. Then add remaining noodle bowl ingredients: air fried cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, spinach, cilantro and a squeeze if lime. Enjoy!

Is sriracha anti inflammatory?

No. However, chili peppers have been known to have anti inflammatory properties and may help reduce the symptoms of inflammatory diseases. Sriracha is high in sugar and sodium and should be used sparingly. Note in this recipe I use no more than a tablespoon.

Easy & Delicious Vegan Breakfast Sushi

Easy & Delicious Vegan Breakfast Sushi

A quick and easy vegan breakfast idea – breakfast sushi made with fresh bananas and your favorite crushed topping of choice.

Veganizing sushi will likely be one of the most rewarding things you learn to do as a new vegan. But start with an easy recipe like this. Of course, let’s be real, this is not necessarily sushi but it makes this vegan breakfast recipe no less delicious!

Gather Ingredients

Because this vegan breakfast recipe is creatively easy to make you probably already have everything you need to get this breakfast dish ready and on the table.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Bamboo Skewers
• Bananas
• Nut Butter of choice (For this recipe I used Fix & Fog’s Cashew Maple)
• Crushed Nuts
• Instant Espresso Mix
• Chopped Chocolate Chips
• Crushed Cookies
• Whatever else you can imagine would take good rolled on top of a banana!

Prepare the Sushi

Now it’s time to prep the banana. First peel the banana and then cut in half. I tried slicing it first and then dipping it. Trust me this is a mess. Instead cut the banana in half, stick the bamboo skewer into the cut half and dip into the nut butter.

The nut butter will be thick so have patience here. Occasionally, I did end up using my fingers to slather the nut butter on to the banana half.

Make the Sushi

Now make sure your ingredients are crushed and ready to roll the banana in. This part is straightforward and easy. Roll the cut half of the banana into your crushed topping of choice. Then slice the banana into thick sushi like pieces. Repeat this until you’ve used all your banana pieces.

Plate the sushi and enjoy!

Soft & Fluffy Funfetti Vegan Biscuit Recipe with Blueberry Butter

Fluffy Funfetti Vegan Biscuit Recipe with Blueberry Butter

Fluffy vegan biscuit recipe with a twist! Funfetti candy chips added to this recipe for a sweet, crunchy bites slathered with homemade blueberry butter.

A good fluffy vegan biscuit recipe can be hard to find. While this recipe has been adapted from All Recipes I’ve added a bit of a twist. The sweet candy bits folding into this vegan biscuit recipe makes it the perfect Funfetti Biscuit Recipe. Then I don’t stop there. I decided to pair this biscuit with homemade blueberry butter. Slathered on top is truly a great morning treat. Let’s get baking!

Make the Blueberry Butter

To make the blueberry butter you will need the following ingredients:

• Frozen Blueberries
• Coconut Sugar
• Lemon Juice
• Vanilla Extract
• Ground Cinnamon

Add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan and let simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 – 20 minutes. Then add ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour blended butter into a butter mold and freeze. For best results allow the butter to freeze overnight but freezing for 2 hours will be sufficient.

Gather Ingredients for Vegan Biscuit Recipe

Keep in mind when making biscuits that you want to actually be fluffy it is a bit of a science. You’ll want to ensure your butter and milk is cold. That’s the best tip I can give you for this recipe. So, to get this recipe started you’ll need the following ingredients:

• All Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Sugar
• Salt
• Cold Vegan Butter
• Coconut Oil (not melted)
• Cold Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Candy Sprinkles

Make Vegan Biscuit Recipe Batter

First, preheat the oven to 425* F. Grease a glass baking dish with butter. Next, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to a large mixing bowl. Then cut in vegan butter and coconut oil with a fork. You’ll want the mixture to resemble coarse crumbles.

Once your mixture resembles crumbles begin to slowly add in almond milk and stir until dough JUST comes together. Two very important tips here:

• You may not need all of the milk. Add milk until dough just comes together.
• Do not over mix. If you over mix of over knead the dough the biscuits won’t be soft and fluffy. They will be tough. You don’t want that!

Knead the Vegan Biscuit Recipe Batter

Now you’ll want to turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead (fold over) 15 times. Again please don’t over knead. While kneading add candy sprinkles 1/4 cup at a time. Gently roll or pat dough to a 1- or 1 1/2 inch thickness. Cut biscuits with a small biscuit cutter or small glass. Gently re-roll the dough scraps and cut remaining biscuits. **Again, heavy emphasis on the gentle part. Over rolling will cause toughness**

Bake the Vegan Biscuits

Place the biscuits in your prepared glass baking dish. You want to ensure the biscuits are touching. This will make sure the biscuits rise high and are fluffy! Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with homemade blueberry butter.
