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!

The Best Vegan Nachos Ever

the best vegan nachos ever

One day a few months ago I decided that I wanted vegan nachos, and pretty much threw together a recipe as I went along. I had made vegan nachos before, but these were different. I wasn’t sure how well that would turn out, but they tasted so amazing! I decided to do a recipe video for them, and although the photo & video do not do these nachos justice, let me tell you – they are delicious and extremely filling!

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

vegan buffalo cauliflower bites

“Wings” made from cauliflower are pretty popular around Super Bowl time to replace the non-version wings that are served up at all the parties. I’m a couple of months late for the Super Bowl, so maybe these can be Easter wings??? In my opinion, cauliflower wings are perfect any time of the year, including these buffalo cauliflower bites. They have just the right amount of tang and spiciness. They are also very filling, which causes a quandary because they are so delicious it is hard to stop eating them! Check out my brand new recipe video below for these tasty little bites 💃

Red Lentil & Kale Stew

red lentil & kale stew

Y’all, it’s actually cold in South Texas! ❄️☃️

It’s been cold and rainy off and on these past couple of weeks, and we even got snow one morning! I’ve been drinking lots of homemade hot chocolate and snuggling with my foster dog, Opal. Then I remembered this warm, hearty soup I made not too long ago and thought it would be the perfect recipe to post.

This delish soup is my version of Kimberly Snyder’s Red Lentil and Carrot Stew. When it comes to soups and stews, I like to keep it simple, and I’m not a big fan of cooked carrots, so I changed things up just slightly. Make this savory soup for your friends and family, or store in the fridge and have ready made meals! Full of nutrients, fiber, and protein, this Red Lentil & Kale Stew is the perfect cold weather meal!

9 Quick Tips to Beat Winter Sickness

November 21, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

9 quick tips to beat winter sickness

Nobody likes being sick. Well, there was a brief period of time as a child that I looked forward to staying home watching television all day when I had a cold or the flu. But now, getting sick is something that I dread and try to avoid at all costs 😷🤒🌡

Since I’ve gone vegan, I’ve noticed that I get sick way less. Pre-vegan I battled allergies/sinus/colds at least twice a year plus any other illnesses like the flu, 24 hour bugs, strep, bronchitis, etc. The only time I get sick now is seasonal allergies once or twice a year and if I take action as soon as I notice symptoms, it goes away a lot faster and isn’t as agonizing.

Whether you’re vegan or not, these 9 easy tips can make you feel better a lot faster. They will help you fight sickness in a much healthier, all natural way that your body will be thankful for. You can still incorporate your regular medicines if necessary. These suggestions will just boost your immune system for a speedier recovery this winter!

Was waiting in line at Walmart when I saw this Bey Was waiting in line at Walmart when I saw this Beyond Meat jerky. It's been probably a good decade since I had regular jerky, but this tasted pretty legit. However, don't eat an entire bag at once as a substitution for actual lunch bc you'll probably get a stomachache like I did 😝
