I firmly believe that going plant-based does not mean you are doomed to eat salads for the rest of time. However, this one is particularly delicious and I simply must share my take on this modern classic. Biggest take-home message – make your own salad dressing. Trust me, it’s worth it. Prep time: 20 minutes…
Soy Marinated Eggs
This recipe is the quintessential have-food-ready-to-eat-in-the-fridge recipe. No one has the time or energy to make every meal from scratch, so having something fast and tasty is key. The fastest way to eat these is just cold over some rice, but they are also good to add to any noodles, soups, or anything you want!…
Summer Soba Noodles
I can call it a summer dish because it’s the last day of August. But seriously, it’s hotter than heck down here in Alabama (oh by the way, I live in Alabama now). Eating some cold noodles overlooking Mobile Bay is my idea of a good time. Not only that, this literally takes 5 minutes…
Mexican Breakfast Bowl
What makes this a breakfast item exactly? When I made it, it was my breakfast time (typically around 1PM), it has an egg on it (a classic breakfast food), and also because I said so. I firmly believe anything can be classified as breakfast if you are hungry enough, which I usually am. Also, Mexican…
Portobello Mushroom Burger
It’s been over a year since I’ve posted any recipes. I’ll be honest life got in the way, and I felt somewhat discouraged about the importance of what I am doing. Recently I remembered I was doing it for me. And what better way to kick things off again than to post a burger recipe…
Akela’s Perfect Ramen
Yep. You read it correctly. I have indeed perfected the ramen bowl. Is it authentic in any way? No. Is it delicious? Heck yeah. I’ve had this at least twice a week for dinner for the last month and a half. It’s really easy and really fast, and you end up with a satisfying bucket…
Jackfruit Tacos
Yes hello everybody. I know I have taken quite a long hiatus from posting recipes, and I know you all have been anxiously awaiting my return, but fear not. Kale is back in force. These jackfruit tacos are definitely good. But I think the best part about making food that excites you is the fact…
Smoothie Bowl
This recipe was requested by a dear friend of mine, so of course I must oblige! Smoothie bowls are really just whatever fruit you like into a blender and then into a bowl. This is the kind I have been making recently. Again, choose whatever fruits or toppings you want! I make these in the…
Butternut Squash Soup
Its mother-freaking SOUP SEASON Y’ALL!! I splurged on an immersion blender just so I could make some butternut squash soup for mahself this week. It did not disappoint. Nothing screams fall more than a squashy soup and I am all here for it. It was extra exciting because its been rainy all week here in…
Homemade Onion Rings
Okay so this is more of a mini recipe because school and life in general is getting ahead of me at the moment. These homemade onion rings thought…GAWD they are good. So I hope y’all enjoy. I feel like cooking a store-bought plant based burger is pretty self explanatory. I mean, you’re basically just heating…
