Miso Roasted Root Veggies for Your Vegan Meal Prep

March 17, 2019 By JL Fields 2 Comments

Miso roasted root veggies are a nice change of pace from roasting vegetables with olive oil. It’s a taste of Vegan Meal Prep by JL Fields.

Vegan meal prep is now officially a thing. The idea is to create make-ahead plant base meals, portioned out, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes snacks and desserts are part of this planning ritual. As we all know, planning meals ahead takes the stress out of the daily “what to make” dilemma and makes for smart food shopping, too.

Let JL Fields guide you: While there are plenty of recipes and ideas for vegan meal prep online, sometimes it’s nice to hold a book in your hands. It’s somehow less overwhelming. Enter Vegan Meal Prep: Ready-to- Go Meals and Snacks for Plant-Based Eating by JL Fields. Says JL:

Kale Pesto Pasta with Mushroom “Bacon”

March 16, 2019 By Nava Atlas Leave a Comment

Kale pesto goes a lot farther than using a bunch of basil, the traditional ingredient in pesto — and maybe you’ll find that it tastes even better.

A greener pesto: First of all, it keeps its nice green color a lot longer, so when you’re dealing with a heaping helping of pasta like this, your leftovers (if you have any!) won’t have turned an unappetizing brown by the following day. The lovely green color of this kale pesto pasta dish is assisted by a small amount of green peas.

Next, kale is a leafy green packs a whole lot of vitamins and antioxidants into any dish that it graces. And finally, ounce for ounce, it’s less expensive than basil (unless you grow your own).

Vegan Enchilada Casserole

March 14, 2019 By Nava Atlas Leave a Comment

Vegan enchilada casserole is an easy main dish filled with classic Southwestern flavors, and makes a generous amount.

I’ve been making a version of this vegan enchilada casserole for ages. It’s my favorite in-a-hurry casserole, and maybe it will become yours, too!

It involves throwing together a lot of convenient ingredients like canned beans, tomato sauce, and frozen corn, Yet it’s unbelievably good when you need an inexpensive, tasty dinner that everyone devours.

In this version I give the option of combining beans with vegan burger crumbles or going all in on beans. Either way it tastes terrific, and all you need to do while it in the oven is to make a simple salad. Steaming a batch of broccoli or greens wouldn’t hurt, either.

Champagne Vegan Cheese Fondue

March 13, 2019 By Claudia Lucero Leave a Comment

Here’s an easy vegan cheese fondue whose a rich flavor is amplified by champagne or dry white wine.

The creator of this recipe, Claudia Lucero, writes: “I’m on a mission to bring back the fondue party. I honestly don’t understand why it fell out of fashion. Aside from restaurants where one can enjoy both a fondue meal and dessert, I just don’t hear enough about fondue parties. Let’s change that! Especially on cold and rainy nights, what could be better than gathering around hot cheesy sauce over a flame?

The variations will give you the same type of variety that can be achieved when using different traditional cheeses. Want to join me in my fondue party crusade? Try the serving suggestion and party on! Note: This fondue also works wonderfully as a special pasta sauce if you like to keep things simple.”
