September 15, 2021 By Nava Atlas Leave a Comment

With all the flavor of the traditional oven-cooked dish, skillet vegan baked beans with plant-based sausage is delicious with a crusty dark bread like pumpernickel or a dark sourdough.

Though this recipe calls for navy beans, which are more traditional to the classic recipe, feel free to swap in another type of white bean. Great Northern beans are a slightly larger white bean that works well. Cannellini would be fine, though they tend to already be on the softer side, and a firm bean is best for this dish.

With a wealth of good fats and carbs, avocado toast makes a great breakfast or lunch (or dinner with soup). And though it may not be the hot food trend it was a few years ago, it’s here to stay.

The contrast between smooth, mellow avocado and mildly spicy fermented kimchi is amazing. With the addition of cucumber and a sprinkling of sesame seeds and/or scallion, this just might become your go-to way to enjoy avocado toast.

Here’s a delectable vegan seitan salad that can also be made with high-protein plant-based “steak” (which is often made with similar ingredients as seitan). It’s a hearty salad that you can enjoy on its own, or stuff it into fresh pita bread for a satisfying sandwich meal.

A typical tossed salad of lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, avocado and olives gets a chance to shine by adding sizzling plant-based protein and a tasty dressing.
