Vegan Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese

January 28, 2021 by Jillian Leave a Comment

vegan smoked salmon & cream cheese

carrot lox

I finally did it! I have been wanting to make carrot lox for quite a while now, but it seemed complicated, so I never did. That is, until I was recently looking up carrot lox recipes on Youtube and found this easy one by the Edgy Veg. I decided to give it a try and WOW – I’m so glad I did! Made some cashew cream cheese while I was at it and let me tell you, this is the perfect breakfast, brunch, lunch, there’s no bad time for vegan lox.

I’m somewhat of a lox connoisseur, having grown up with a Jewish dad and a grandma from New York, I was scarfing down lox and bagels almost since birth. Lucky for me, this recipe for vegan smoked salmon & cream cheese imitates the same smoky, tangy, flavorful non-vegan version I remember. And it doesn’t take as much effort as you would think!

Apple Pie Muffins

Even though it’s warm and sunny today where I live and I’m wearing shorts and a tank top, it’s technically winter and I wanted to post a recipe that has winter vibes ☕️

I’ve been making a lot of chocolate chip cookies lately and wanted to mix it up a little. So I took the same basic batter I use for that recipe, incorporated apple, and made some delicious muffins that taste and smell like apple pie! The best part about it is that when you’re preparing the apple mixture on the stove, your house will smell like an apple cinnamon candle! These muffins are really filling, too, because they have healthier ingredients than your typical muffins. They are great for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even dessert!

Chia Lemon Muffins

May 29, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

chia lemon muffins

For the longest time I hated lemon flavored sweets. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to eat lemon candies or lemon desserts or lemon ice cream. I mean, what kind of psycho would choose lemon cake over chocolate cake? It just isn’t right. But slowly, my love for lemons began to shine through my chocolate exterior. Finally, I could admit to myself that lemon squares are delicious. Lemon sorbet? Don’t mind if I do. Raw lemon cheesecake? Even better!

So I decided to make lemon muffins for the first ever last week, and I also added chia seeds because one can never have too many chia seeds. The result? A hearty, flavorful muffin that tastes super amazing with homemade strawberry jam and a cup of coffee ☕️🍓

Brown Sugar Oatmeal & Home Fries

February 4, 2017 by Jillian 2 Comments

oatmeal and berries

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I cannot skip breakfast! As soon as I wake up in the morning, I stumble into the kitchen and begin making my brekkies, because I cannot function or talk to other humans until I eat food and drink coffee 😩☕️

For me, it’s all about the carbs. The more healthy carbs I consume in the morning, the more energy I have and the less hungry I am before lunch. That’s what makes this oatmeal and potato combo the perfect breakfast, plus it’s easy to make and goes perfect with a foamy vegan latte. Yum!!

Just imagine… organic old-fashioned oats topped with butter, brown sugar, coconut flakes and berries, then paired with crispy cubes of red potatoes sauteed in olive oil and seasoned with onion and some cheesy nutritional yeast. I like the balance of sweet and savory because you get the best of worlds!

Check out how my take on these classic breakfast dishes that are vegan, gluten free and totally delicious!

Protein Packed Breakfast Tostadas

September 26, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

preotein packed breakfast tostada

breakfast tostada

I’m one of those people that must eat a hearty breakfast with hot coffee every single morning NO. MATTER. WHAT. ☕️ But as as a vegan, sometimes it can feel like my breakfast choices are limited. I can only handle so much oatmeal. I can’t cook up eggs and bacon. I’m also gluten free, so pancakes and bagels and waffles can be tricky. What’s a vegan girl to do?…

Whip up some healthy breakfast tostadas filled with creamy refried black beans, crispy potatoes, sliced avocado, crunchy red onion, and hot sauce & vegan ranch of course! So much yes. I want them right now and it’s no where near breakfast time as I write this but it doesn’t matter because tostadas can be consumed any time of day 🍽

If you’re looking for something new to throw into the breakfast mix, or want something filling and healthy, or just a mega breakfast of champions, try these Protein Packed Breakfast Tostadas🏋💪 They’re pretty addictive.

SERIAL KILLERS. Oh, do I have your attention?? 🧐 I visited the prison cemetery in Huntsville a few months back and discovered not only are 2 infamous serial killers buried there, but a cowboy from the prison rodeo who was killed by fellow inmates, and it was the first resting place of a prominent Kiowa chief named Satanta who committed suicide by jumping out the window at the Huntsville Penitentiary rather than spend life in prison. The link in my bio will take you to the full story and more photos from my visit to the cemetery 🪦

In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soup In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soups. The first is green lentils with potato and mushroom. The second is Greek Red Lentil soup that tastes like a gourmet tomato soup 🍅 and also has carrot, rosemary, lemon, and a hint of cumin. Both soups have kale because that makes them 💯% better.

One of the things that has interested me about the One of the things that has interested me about the horrific scene at the Capitol yesterday is the connection between veganism and colonialism. Some of the mob members yesterday were proudly covered in the skins of dead animals. To me, it's no surprise that white male supremacists are speceiests at their core. They believe they are inherently superior. They have historically compared people of color to animals, and treated them as sadistcally as they treat animals. In America, the government orchestrated the slaughtering of 60 million buffalo for no other reason than as a way to starve Indians into submission. Among other things, white supremacy and colonialism is linked to an obsession with killing, hunting, and dominating over others. So here are some bomb homemade VEGAN Butterfinger I made yesterday. Free of cruelty and made from plants. I'm not just vegan for the animals, I'm vegan for people because it is all connected.
