Oriana’s Thoughts On The Recipe I’m so excited to share my Eggless Chicken Cutlets recipe with you today. These cutlets have quickly become a family favorite around here, and I just know you’re going to love them, too! They’re super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They’re eggless, so they’re perfect if you have someone in your family with an egg allergy. Plus, they’re kid-approved, which is always a win in my book!...

Stir fries are the ultimate weeknight meal. When you’re tired after a long day at work, a stir fry requires minimal effort—and even better, you’ll have dinner done in minutes, too. They’re packed with flavour (hello, sweet ginger sauce!) and have a variety of textures. This Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry has the perfect balance of plant protein and vegetables, and you’ll love the way the soft, chewy tofu contrasts with the slightly crisp carrots and broccoli....

Who Doesn’t Love Potatoes? We love potatoes and welcome ALL types and forms! Honestly, we love potatoes so much, we think they should be their own food group, are we right?! Potatoes are incredibly versatile, and we’ve got all the potato recipes! They shine as an appetizer with Potato Skins, a side dish with Potato Salad, a breakfast favorite with Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole, and even a hearty main dish with Cheesy Potato Soup....

When it comes to cooking, I can’t really think straight. I love experimenting with different flavors, textures, and fusing cuisines together. Fusion recipes can be a bummer if not done right. But if combo works then it takes the dish to a whole new level like my Tex Mex Loaded Pasta Bake or this Vegan Chipotle Jungle Curry. This Indian Italian fusion veggie lasagna happened by chance last year when my son demanded lasagna for dinner....

These double chocolate banana muffins are full of surprises. When you make them to share, you’ll get a lot of: “Wait, these are vegan?” and “What?! These are gluten-free?“ The answers are yes and yes! Oh, and did I mention that all the sweetness in this recipe comes from maple syrup and ripe bananas? Use stevia-sweetened chocolate chips and these muffins are completely free of refined sugar. Let me tell you, coming up with this recipe took a lot of trial and error, but the results are definitely worth it....

I love nachos. Who doesn’t? Nachos are a perfect food, whether they’re a midday snack, a party dish, or a meal all by themselves. These loaded vegan nachos have all the components that I want in a plate of nachos. There are meaty vegan crumbles and rich beans. There’s lots of spice, and of course, gooey cheese that’s sure to get all over your fingers. Make them for dinner or as a snack on game day … they’re perfect either way....

Macadamia nuts are always a treat because, well, they’re expensive! They’re not an everyday nut like almonds or peanuts, which means they’re worth taking some time to savor. Macadamias are buttery, creamy, smooth, and nutty all at the same time—it’s easy to see why they’re so pricy! This vegan White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie recipe is definitely worth the splurge, though. Oh my goodness, are they good! One thing that’s often lacking in vegan baked goods is buttery flavor, but this recipe has it in spades—it starts with a stick of vegan butter, then you get more butteriness (is that even a word?...

Happy Stranger Things 2 Day! Can you tell I’ve been counting down?! Okay seriously though – this was a major requested roundup. One of the requests I get ALL the time is “Can you make some more main dish recipes please!”. Sometimes as vegetarians and vegans we feel kind of stuck having dishes that are essentially side dishes in main dish portions. Boo, no one wants that. I’ve made a real effort to create real main dish recipes that are not only something you can have with something on the side, but that are filling!...

It’s that lovely time of the year again – Cinco de Mayo is around the corner! Isn’t it insane who quickly May has arrived? I’ve always loved Mexican food – uh hello black beans, corn, and my life fruit avocado! Then again, who doesn’t love Mexican food? Truthfully, I don’t need a reason to eat Mexican food – tacos and burritos are always on my eat list. If you’re celebrating like I will be, you’ll definitely be needing some great dishes....

Indian pickle is very different from the pickle we get here in the United States. The combination of spices like fennel, nigella seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek, red chilies, and mustard oil makes this spice blend very unique in taste. It is a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. To make my life easy I always stock up on a jar of ready-made achari masala just like I have garam masala in my pantry....

Crescent roll dough comes in handy when making little bite sized appetizers. For example, try Cranberry Brie Bites or Spinach Dip Bites, both wrapped in crescent dough! Hot and Spicy Bites I have loved Buffalo Wings for as long as I can remember because my mom has been making them since I was young. You could call them a family favorite, especially since they show up at most family events and parties....

Have you Tried them? Buñuelos (crispy fried dough fritters) are a traditional Mexican dessert topped with cinnamon and sugar. Have you had them? They are a personal favorite and something we’ve enjoyed most of our lives. These bunuelos are primarily served throughout Christmas and New Year’s, but you can enjoy it anytime! They are flattened and fried to golden perfection – similar to fry bread; however, that hint of cinnamon adds a warm, spiced flavor....
