German Sausage & Potato Skillet

January 14, 2017 by Jillian Leave a Comment

vegan german food

Welcome to the final recipe of my RawSpiceBar recipe series! I may have saved the best for last, and I’m not saying that because it’s the recipe I created! If you’ve read the other recipes, you’ll remember one came from RawSpiceBar, one I modified from another food blogger and this one is created by moi! Looking at these photos right now as I work on this post is making me oh so hungry. I’m at the library eating donuts (true story) but I would much rather be eating this German Sausage & Potato Skillet! 🍽

This was my favorite RawSpiceBar combo -caraway, fennel and anise – and it went perfectly with the kielbasa sausage, smoky potatoes and crispy onions. This recipe is filling enough to be the main dish but not so overwhelming that it can’t be a side dish. It’s hearty and flavorful and super easy to whip up. It may be one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever posted. Check it out!

Gluten Free Veggie Pasta Salad

All right, I know it’s almost Thanksgiving and for many parts of the world it’s already cold enough outside to be wearing heavy jackets and mittens, but here in southeast Texas the weather is kind of amazing 🌞 It’s been warm and mild during the day and chilly at night, but not so chilly that I’m freezing my vegan butt off. So even though pasta salad feels more like a spring or summer dish, I’m gonna put it out there anyway because this pasta salad is really delicious and healthy and filling.

For starters, this pasta is gluten free and contains minimal ingredients. I love that. Then it gets tossed in a tangy dressing and topped with tons of delicious veggies. I even added some pre-seasoned, pre-cooked tofu crumbles for added texture and protein 🙌

This Gluten Free Pasta Salad is perfect for lunch with friends or for making a huge batch to provide you with quick on-the-go meals for the rest of the week. It’s an easy way to get those veggies in 🍅🍋 if that’s something that’s a struggle for you 😜

Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole

Oh bright yellowy goodness 💛 🌞 (That would be homemade cashew cheese sauce y’all)

I came up with this recipe on the fly because I wanted something filling and easy to make that I could store in the fridge and eat for several days with zero effort to prepare. And so this cheesy Chicken & Veggie Quinoa Casserole was born 👶

It’s got loads of protein coming from the Beyond Meat chicken strips and quinoa, good fats from the cashews, and anti-inflammatory properties in the turmeric. Plus, it’s utterly delicious and you will wolf it down faster than you can blink 🐺 Not to mention, like all of my other recipes, it’s vegan and gluten free!

In all seriousness, this is a really yummy recipe that is perfect for those comfort food cravings that everyone gets, even gluten-free vegans 🙋 Not only is it free of animal product and tons of over processed ingredients, it’s actually kinda healthy and contains wonderful things like turmeric, veggies, and raw cashews. That means it also contains protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants. High five!

Even though I have this recipe categorized under “Dinner,” it’s great for lunch, parties, or to make in a big batch to take to work with you. It’s incredibly filling and satisfying, and easy to reheat. Now that I’ve talked up this creamy, savory bowl of cheesy heaven, read on to see how simple it is to make Fully Loaded Vegan Mac n’ Cheez!

Eggplant Parmesan Casserole

Eggplants are my spirit animal ✨🍆 I mean wait… but you get what I’m saying, right? Eggplants are my jam right now, not literally but maybe eggplant jam is an actual thing to look into 😆

I’ve liked eggplant for a while now, but it wasn’t until I lived in Beijing and discovered a dish with white rice, potatoes, and eggplant smothered in a delicious sauce that I realized Hey, eggplants are super cool and a good meat substitute. I should eat them more often. Enter this saucy (literally) recipe for Eggplant Parmesan Casserole. Hearty brown rice, garlic sauteed eggplant slices, savory tomato sauce, and melted vegan cheese all in the form of a comforting and satisfying casserole.
