Good Food. Made Vegan.
Growing up, Black Eyed Peas were a pretty rare occurrence on our dinner table. Occasionally my dad would make them to celebrate the new year, but outside of that you can forget about it. Last year I decided I wanted to change that. I love experimenting with new foods. Even […]
In my house, cornbread is usually reserved for holidays and the occasional pairing with vegan chili. Welp, not anymore! A few weeks ago I was whipping up a little soul food dinner. Some black-eyed peas, white rice, collard greens and these beautiful Vegan Jalapeño Cornbread Muffins! This cornbread is certainly […]
I am officially OBSESSED with these Garlic Herb Potatoes! If you haven’t noticed by now, I am obsessed with potatoes! They’re so versatile, and super cost effective. Especially since we’re quarantined! I don’t know about you but my grocery shopping lately has been an absolute mess. Probably because every time […]
Cilantro Lime Rice has long been on my list of things to make! Like many people, I was introduced to it in undergrad during many trips to Chipotle. There’s something about it that really compliments a meal. I love how simple and delicious it is. Don’t you? That’s why you’re […]
If you’ve been plant-based or vegan for any length of time, I’m sure you’ve grown familiar with beans. Most likely black beans. I’ve been longing to make some Chipotle style black beans and the time has finally come! These seasoned black beans are LEGIT. So flavorful and versatile! How to […]
Growing up, one of the things my family ate most was RICE! There were even times I would be perfectly content eating a bowl of rice topped with black pepper, butter and occasionally a sauce like General Tso’s. Actually my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Because I love […]
Happy New Year! Yes, I’m a little late, but the New Year is actually what inspired these Black-Eyed Pea Fritters you see before your eyes! In case you didn’t know, eating black-eyed peas are a must for the new year. That and collard greens! The two of them are supposed […]
Folks, mashed potatoes have just gotten EVEN BETTER! It’s possible that I’ve been living under a rock lately, but I just recently discovered the magic of adding sour cream to mashed potatoes. I’ve never really been crazy about sour cream until now. My husband on the other hand can’t (won’t) […]
If you live in the south, collard greens are definitely a staple. Especially in the black community! You can’t go to any “soul food” or “southern” restaurant without them being on the menu. And if by chance they’re not on the menu…RUN! The problem with most traditional collard green recipes […]
They say that one of the hardest things for folks to give up when going vegan is cheese. I can definitely see why! Before making the switch, I probably ate cheese 5-6 times a week. Most likely more! One of my favorite things to eat has always been mac and […]
