Delicious Vegan Recipes for Winter

-
With the holidays coming up, the semester that recently ended, and my job being on holiday break, I have had more time to make delicious and healthy recipes. I have been enjoying such a wide range of meals and have been also discovering some new foods and meals that I love. I have really enjoyed cooking and finding new foods or recipes to prepare. These could also be good for holiday parties as well. 

The first recipe I have loved making recently is a sandwich and I usually have a side with this. I have been switching up what I have as my side. I usually have quinoa, couscous, fries, tater tots, roasted veggies, or riced veggies on the side when I eat this and I usually switch it up for variety.

For this picture, I have a ciabatta roll by the brand Schar, which is gluten free. I do not personally eat a gluten free diet, but I have been seeing these in the stores and wanted to check them out. I enjoy these with Gardein chicken scallopini (which is gluten free, vegan, and of course delicious-tastes like chicken), which I put on the roll. I also have onion, pickles, and bell pepper on my sandwich along with some Just Mustard by Hampton Creek. If you want a different flavor, there are also many other dressings or sauces that could be put on as well. For my side, I have sweet potato fries which I dip in the Hampton Creek sauce. It is one of my favorite meals to make and I hope some of you make it and enjoy it as well.

I have also loved making a lot of fall and winter meals. The next few images are good for holiday meals, like if you are having company over the next few weeks. I have Gardein turkey cutlet, which is vegan and comes with an amazing gravy. I was very pleased with this and loved making this recipe with some quash and grains with veggies.

I have a pilaf blend that has rice, quinoa, cranberry, red bell pepper, spinach, and a red wine vinaigrette. This has been one of my favorite meals to make and it is highly nutritious and filling.

I also love that this product comes with a gravy because it shows that even if you choose a vegetarian, vegan, or plant based lifestyle, you can still eat things like this and they do not taste any different. I also love that this gravy has amazing ingredients and it is a much healthier alternative. The breading is also a great touch as well! I would also recommend a dish like this for Thanksgiving as well that can be cooked with some other sides. If you need ideas for that, I have also posted some cruelty free recipes worth checking out!

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

Veganism and Animals: Does veganism really help animals?

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

Healthy Snacks

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
