Kid Friendly Vegan Goulash

October 19, 2016 by Jillian 2 Comments

kid friendly vegan goulash

amerian goulash

Before I made this recipe, I had heard of goulash before but honestly had no clue what it actually was. It wasn’t until my roommate at the time made a non-vegan version of it and told me how easy it was, that I decided to do a little investigating. Traditional goulash originates from Hungary and consists of a soup or stew with meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices.

American goulash, on the other hand, is more of a spaghettios-on-crack-type-situation. It usually includes elbow macaroni, ground beef, onions & garlic, tomato sauce and the option of cheese. My roommate gave me the recipe for the latter and it sounded super easy to veganize, so I gave it a try. This vegan goulash is a very savory, filling comfort food with plant based protein and only takes about half an hour to make a huge pot. Kids will love it because it’s a simple, tasty dish! Oh, and it’s gluten free too!

Let’s get cooking 🔪🍝🍴🍅

Cheesy! Cheesy! Cheesy! I love anything and everything cheesy, and thanks to the miracle of vegan cheese and nutritional yeast, I never to have to live without it.  #blessed ❤️

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.

Sweet Potato Fries with Magic Sauce

sweet potato fries with magic sauce

For the past several weeks I’ve basically been living off sweet potato fries and banana nice cream and I’m totally okay with that. Bananas and sweet potatoes are two of the most nutritious foods known to man 🍌 🍠 (and the fact that there’s even a sweet potato emoji pretty much sums it up, right?) and they’re dang delicious.

What’s even more applause worthy is that these sweet potato fries are filling enough to be an entire meal 👏 I make them for lunch or dinner and they are totally satisfying. I mean, crunchy and savory wedges with a hint of garlic and cumin, dipped in creamy, tangy magic sauce? 😍 Heart exploding.

I hope I never ever get tired of these fries because they should really be named Awesome Amazing Dynamite Sweet Potato Fries with Magically Powered Magic Sauce 💥 💥 💥 but that was too long for this blog post…

Popcorn Tofu Chikin & Sauteed Veggies

This is my new go-to dish. I love it so much. The popcorn chikin is crunchy, the sauteed veggies are savory, the sauce is tangy, the nutritional yeast gives it a hint of cheesiness, and I wash it all down with a refreshing glass of apple cider soda (recipe below). It’s really perfect. I think I could eat it everyday. Plus, the tofu really looks like a chicken nugget on the inside!
