Cheesy Broccolini Breakfast Biscuits

Today is the day. The Vida Vegan Con Bazaar has arrived in Austin, TX. A few hours from posting this, I will be in vegan heaven collecting cruelty-free swag and meeting more vegans than I’ve ever been in a single room with. I’m going to be a kid in a candy shop. A vegan candy shop. I can’t wait. I want to make sure I post a yummy recipe before heading out because who knows how long it will take me to recover from rolling in all the swag I’ll be getting.

On Monday I posted my recipe for Cheesy Broccolini & Brown Rice Patties, so don’t get these confused. I had a bunch of leftover broccolini and needed something to do with it, so I came up with the idea of a savory breakfast biscuit because who doesn’t love those? If you’re gluten free and miss those ultra bread-y products, I think you’ll enjoy these biscuits. They hit the spot!

Cheesy Broccolini & Brown Rice Patties

It’s been raining nonstop here in Austin, Texas. The humidity has been off the chain and my hair is very unhappy. However, it’s been great for the greenery and all the lakes. I’m hoping it means this summer won’t be quite as scorching as usual. But that’s probably just a pipe dream…

On the plus side, broccolini popped in my brain the other day and I ran with it. Broccolini is one of those veggies that people tend to forget about, but it’s full of vitamins and nutrients, easy to prepare, and very yummy. I decided to create a recipe using this cruciferous vegetable and I came up with the idea of making cheesy brown rice patties and broccolini. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but I had a feeling it would, and the end result was better than I expected.

Cheesy Veggie Tofu Scramble

I don’t know how you feel about breakfast, but for me, it’s verrrry important. Not only am I ravenous when I wake up in the morning, but I definitely notice a difference if I don’t eat anything. I’ll get light headed, have trouble focusing, hunger pains, headaches, procrastinate, and can be extremely agitated and grumpy. None of that is worth skipping breakfast!

That’s what I love about this recipe, other than the fact that it tastes super yummy, is that it’s full of nutrients to keep me going the rest of the day… or at least until lunchtime 🙂

Cheesy Quinoa With Avocado and Kale

This week’s recipe is all about green! It’s a really easy lunch or dinner recipe that is full of nutrients, and it’s sooooo filling! I went crazy during my first grocery shopping trip back in the States (from China) and bought some of my favorite foods that I’d been missing, including kale, avocado, quinoa, nutritional yeast, and Daiya cheese. The recipe came to me one afternoon and was most likely motivated by my ravenous appetite. I hope you enjoy it!

My China Diet

April 29, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

my china diet

I just returned home to Texas after a six month stay in Beijing, where I was teaching English to little kids and cultivating my blog. Before I went, I imagined that being a vegan in China would be fairly easy. Even though China has adopted a more Westernized diet in recent years (lots of meat and dairy), I figured it would be pretty easy to find plant based dishes.

Boy was I wrong! All I ate the first two months I lived there was rice with vegetables because that’s all I could find in the way of vegan options. That got tiring after a while and didn’t give me an array of needed nutrients. Eating out was wreaking havoc on my digestive and immune systems because the quality of food is so low in China, plus they tend to over-do it with the oil. I was always sick, had headaches, couldn’t sleep well, and felt tired and light headed. I decided to stop eating out, get a blender and food processor, and make all of my meals at home. What a difference!

For anyone that plans on being abroad for an extended amount of time, here are some suggestions for quick, easy meals that are healthy and plant based.
