Best Vegan Hotdogs
I’ve loved hotdogs since I was little and my favorite has always been grilled, with a special touch that brings out the best taste. Field Roast Stadium are beyond a doubt, the absolute bestest vegan dogs. Period My trick is to grill them until slightly brown, then slice lengthwise almost through. Grill both sides until crisp. You won’t be disappointed in this method that I learned at Walter’s Hot Dogs in Mamaroneck, NY. Notice the crispy inside. Yum

One Pan Gnocchi Pesto Bake
We love the simplicity of this dish and it’s a great option for meal prep. You can also substitute vegan pesto for olive tapenade – or even rose harissa paste (trust us, it totally works!). Notes You can easily make this recipe gluten-free using gluten-free gnocchi. It’s also worth checking the label of the vegan pesto to be sure it doesn’t contain any gluten. If you don’t own an oven-proof pan, simply cook everything in a regular pan. Then at step 6, transfer the mixture to an oven dish, top with the vegan cheese and follow the remaining steps. You can try making your own vegan red pesto using our recipe for homemade…

Home-fries, caramelized onions and Just Egg
One of my favorite breakfast items is home-fries. Not hash browns, mind you, home-fries and this recipe is totally based on the ones my mom always made the day after baked potatoes for dinner. Baked potatoes are the basis for home-fries so I always bake an extra or two.

Learning from failure
I did everything right. Laid out my ingredients. Chopped and double chopped the red cabbage, carrots, sprouts and glass noodles. I used a cornstarch slurry to glue the corners of the wraps even. Then I left them in the air fryer a minute too long! Sad but still edible, plus it’s a learning experience. Right? Seriously. We cannot use recipe times for frying or baking when cooking in the air fryer. Always, ALWAYS, lessen the time and keep an eye on it. Mine is one of those air fryer, oven, toaster, air roasters with a glass door and I will never not pay attention again. I could have paused the World Series for…

Chocolate Cream Pie
Absolutely delicious pie I made from a recipe I found at The Vegan 8 but. I only had dark chocolate chips and wish I’d hunted further for other vegan chips. Also it set up very hard and needs a few seconds of microwave to soften. The Reddi whip vegan is awesome and next time I think I’ll add some into the mix. A requirement is cashew butter and I had loads of fun making some with their instructions. The raspberries were already in my frig and later on I also added some shredded coconut. Yum

No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
For this cheesecake we wanted to take things up a notch while staying true to our philosophy of keeping things simple. This recipe looks the part and it tastes incredible. Here’s what you need to know: We use Medjool dates in our base but any variety will do. Medjool tend to be on the larger scale so throw in an extra date if the variety you use is on the small side. You can also use up any leftover nuts for the base instead of almonds and walnuts: pecans or more cashews would also work. Ideally you’ll need to use a fast-powered blender to blend the soaked cashews into a super smooth filling…

Tahini Tofu Power Bowl
Here’s what you need to know: We use a brand of extra-firm tofu which doesn’t require pressing. But if yours needs pressing, place a clean tea towel on a plate and place the drained tofu on top. Then balance a heavy object on top (we use a cast iron pot) and leave the tofu to drain for 15 minutes. You can substitute the tahini for peanut or almond butter if you prefer. Sometimes we make our own pickled red cabbage by thinly slicing the cabbage and leaving it to pickled for an hour or so in 1-2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. You can also make this gluten-free using tamari instead of soy…

Love These Overnight Oats
Overnight oats which are my winter, stick to your ribs, go to breakfast. This batch I decided to change it up and mix in fresh raspberries and some stevia sweetener. Wow! So wonderful and refreshing in the morning. I use Quaker Overnight oats. Are they any different? I have no clue. The raspberries were mixed in before putting in the refrigerator overnight, but you can add them in the morning which also leaves the option for other mix ins. I did it this time as an experiment and I’m pleased. The oats absorbed raspberry flavor. I like them either way. But next time I’ll probably revert to adding in at meal time. That…

Vegan Scones With Strawberry Balsamic Jam
This weather can’t make up its mind. One minute we’re buckling down and getting ready for Autumn. The next minute we’re basking in 30 degree sunshine. Scones might be a favourite summer recipe for many, but we’ll happily eat these all year round! Especially with our very own and super simple homemade strawberry balsamic jam. Here’s what you need to know: We’re big fans of slightly ‘mini’ scones so we use a 6cm cutter. Simply use a larger cutter if you prefer you scones a bit bigger. We use a fluted cutter to create the typical ‘grooves‘ around the edges of the scones. The tin of coconut milk needs to be good quality…

Mushroom + Cranberry Vegan Sausage Rolls
These delightful little things have a lot going for them. We create a sweet and tangy mushroom filling made using chestnuts, sage and dijon mustard. We then pair the mushroom mixture with cranberry sauce and roll it inside a sheet of vegan puff pastry. They’re wonderfully tasty and a great festive snack. Things you need to know: We use vacuum-packed chestnuts which have already been cooked and peeled. Alternatively you can par-boil them yourself for 15 minutes – just be sure to rinse them first then score them through to the soft inside We absolutely adore fresh sage. It’s one of our favourite herbs to use this time of year, but you can…
