Cauliflower Vegan Cheese Steak

Can you handle how good this looks? I for one cannot. I must admit that real steak has never appealed to me, even in my meat eating days, but this cauliflower cheese steak gets me salivating like a hungry dog. I was never a humongous fan of cauliflower, but once I became vegan and realized how nutrient-dense and versatile it is (I mean, Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce for crying out loud, not to mention it makes a great pizza crust) I actually get cravings for it on a regular basis. Then there’s cheese… Oh sorry, did I need to go on? Yes, there’s super yummy Daiya Cheddar Cheese shreds all over this dish. And scallions. And a few seasonings. Wham bam boom you’re done!

Although I do create the majority of my own recipes, I can’t entirely take credit for this one. For my birthday last month my friend Salina gave me a beautiful vegetarian cookbook called The Forest Feast. Many of the recipes are vegan as well, and Salina knew it would be easy for me to veganize the recipes that contain dairy in them. She was right!

Fudgy Vegan Beet Cupcakes

Best. Cupcakes. Ever. I’m not kidding. These bad boys are seriously chocolately and super duper moist. No milk, no eggs, just… beets?

Yes, you’re reading that right. My friend Salina found the recipe for these cupcakes over at The Minimalist Baker and they looked so delicious that we made them the same day. Not only are beets healthy, but they create a rich moistness to the texture of the cake. And since this is a vegan recipe, they also act as a great egg replacer. Plus, all of your non-vegan friends will love these cupcakes despite the fact that they don’t – gasp – have dairy in them!

Delicious Vegan Cheese Sauce

The other day I was making Red Lentil Hummus and I got an idea. I added a little too much water to my lentils when I was cooking them, but when I transferred them to the food processor with my seasonings and blended it, it came out with a cheesy flavor and the consistency of a sauce. I’ve been wanting a super easy vegan cheese recipe, because the one I usually make consists of too many steps and too many ingredients. My Delicious Vegan Cheese Sauce recipe only has six ingredients, is full of fiber and other nutrients, and is super filling and yummy.

Turmeric Milk

I’m crazy about this drink! If you want a delicious and healthy alternative to coffee, hot cocoa, or tea, then turmeric milk is your drink. It’s packed full of cancer fighting antioxidants but you don’t even notice because you’re too busy enjoying the creamy taste and the rich yellow color. Make this warm drink in the morning for a coffee substitute, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or in the evening when you’re winding down. I like to drink it mid-morning as a light snack or before bed with a piece of dark chocolate. You will fall in love with this easy to make drink.

Before we get started, I want to quickly go over the health benefits of Turmeric:

  • It fights inflammation, and since inflammation leads to diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and other chronic diseases, that’s pretty awesome.
  • It’s a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals (which also cause cancer).
  • It’s linked to improved brain function.
  • Can lower the risk of heart disease, prevent and treat Alzheimer’s, and alleviate arthritis.
  • Studies show that it may treat depression.
  • Turmeric benefits anti-aging.

These are just a few of the many benefits of using turmeric. If you don’t already have some lying around in your kitchen, go out and buy some and get busy using it!

I originally found the recipe for turmeric milk at Nutrition Stripped, which is a blog I highly recommend. It contains some great plant based recipes and resources for healthy living. I decided to make my own simplified version of this vegan drink. Here goes!
