The Smoothie Vegetarians

Hey everyone! Today's recipes is going to be a Vegan Italian Meatball. This has been one of the best things I have made by far. No only is this recipe delicious it is also flexible!  With a quick change of the seasonings (especially the herbs) used in this recipe and you can make a different "meat"ball. The key ingredients here are the Maply syrup and liquid smoke. Those two ingredients are my secret ingredient in any fake "meat" recipe I make. The two flavors combine really well and make a wonderful smokey flavor.  These are really good with pasta and a red sauce (as pictured) or even on their own as a snack! This is a new family favorite and I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does! Happy cooking! ~Stella~  Vegan Italian Meatballs Recipe Makes 5 servings 1 cup green lentils (cooked) 1 cup yellow onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic minced 3/4 cup mushrooms chopped Olive oil for frying 1 cup bread crumb...

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you a stuffed pepper recipe. The thing about stuffed peppers is that they are extremely versatile. There are so many different kinds of stuffed peppers to try. Growing up, my Grandma used to make an Italian stuffed pepper. In culinary school I learned to make Greek stuffed peppers, Mexican stuffed peppers and even some American stuffed peppers. Most traditional stuffed peppers have meat  or animal products in them but it is not to had to convert it to a veggie friendly dish! The secret is the seasoning! This stuffed pepper is no different. This recipe is an Indian inspired stuffed pepper. The other swap I made in this recipe was the rice. Instead of using rice for this I used cauliflower pearls. Cauliflower pearls make a great swap for rice in many dishes if you are looking for a lower carb option. If you are counting calories this is also a great option. Cauliflower is extremely low in calories. What is your favorite stuffed pe...

Hello everyone! Since transitioning to a plant-based diet, I have developed a whole bunch of new favorite foods. One of the first food to make it's way to my list was green beans. This was ironic in a way because when I was younger I hated green beans! Let's be honest, I hated anything that was green (except broccoli and cheese casserole!). Every time I cook up a batch of green beans I laugh to myself about how times have changed. Anywho, the recipe is definitely a keeper. My husband requests it all of the time and he is not even a big fan of green beans. I thought this recipe would be perfect to share with you guys is because it is quick, simple and delicious. It takes a total of 10 minutes to make. These green beans came ready to go as soon as I opened the package. If you buy them not pre-packaged like these were you can prep them ahead of time. I like to make a plan for the week at the begging of the week and prep all of the food I can then. I find that ...
