Mushroom, Leek, and Brie Turnovers Recipe

-
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Today I am veering away from the vegan recipes and just going for a vegetarian dish, one of my absolute favorites. I have always enjoyed turnovers, but usually sweet ones. This savory twist is absolutely amazing. And brie cheese is my favorite. It has an odd taste. But it is extremely rich and creamy. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! And if you have any vegan/vegetarian dishes you’d like to recommend, please do not hesitate to comment below!

Makes: 12 Portions
Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 6 oz chopped mushrooms
  • 3 oz sliced leeks
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Madeira Wine (Dry port, sherry and Marsala all make good substitutes for Madeira wine)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb 8 oz Blitz Puff Pastry
  • Egg Wash (2 egg yolks, and 2 Tbsp of water)
  • 3 oz Brie cheese
Directions:
  1. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat, heat until it shimmers. Add the mushrooms to the pan and saute until lightly caramelized, 2-3 minutes. Add the leeks until they are light golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Deglaze the pan with the Madeira and reduce until nearly dry, about 1 minute. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Cool the mixture to room temperature.
  4. Roll the dough into a rectangle 12 by 16 in. Cut the dough into 12 4 inch squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet and let chill in the fridge until firm, about 10 minutes.
  5. Brush each square lightly with egg wash. Place 1 Tbsp of mushroom filling in the center of each square. Top the filling with 1 ½ tsp of the Brie. Fold one corner of the dough over the filling and line it up with the opposite corner of the dough. Press the edges firmly together to seal the filling inside the puff pastry dough. Chill the turnovers for about 10 minutes before baking. Brush the turnovers lightly with egg wash. Cut a small opening in the center of each turnover to allow steam to vent.
  6. Bake the turnover in the oven at 425 for 20-25 minutes. Serve.

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
