Get ready for some old-school "meat 'n potato" comfort food right here as I show you how to make this Mexican Hash called Vegan Picadillo.

Just in time for Taco Tuesday, I give you my newest recipe for Vegan Carne Asada using soy curls. I had them last night and truly thought I was eating in some fancy Mexican Restaurant. Soy curls are so versatile. You can turn them into super easy BBQ Sandwiches or even one of my favorite take-out dishes, Mongolian Soy Curl. But they really shine in Mexican dishes. "Carne Asada" translates to grilled meat in Spanish, so soy curls are the perfect texture to imitate strips of grilled steak. And when you marinate them in this flavorful sauce and fry them in a pan? Oh my....you'll swear you were e ..read more

Be sure to add my new Korean Cucumber Salad to your summer salad rotation! My secret ingredient sends this recipe over the top! I have been seeing a few recipes on YouTube for making a Korean Cucumber Salad and thought it sounded tasty, so I wanted to try making one myself. If you can't tell by now, I LOVE Korean spices like Gochugaru and Gochujang. I just recently made a Gochujang Salad Dressing that has become my new favorite sauce to pour over potatoes, along with my homemade Kimchi. Most of the recipes I found used sesame oil and sugar, so I made this version completely oil-free. And inst ..read more

Who loves Hatch Green Chile? Then you HAVE to try my new Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing! It's the PERFECT way to spice up those boring Summer Salads. If you know me at all, you KNOW I love my Hatch Green Chile! Some of my favorite recipes are based on the foods I loved when I lived in New Mexico, like my Vegan Potato Soup or my Green Chile Tofu Stew. Both of which are perfect for taking the chill off of a cold New Mexico winter. But now that summer is here, I thought I'd try a Green Chile Salad Dressing and it was amazing! Thick and creamy with the flavors of green chile and lime and just a ..read more

Spice up those boring summer salads with this super easy Gochujang Salad Dressing! Think of it as a 1000 Island dressing - with a kick! As anyone who eats a WFPBNO (whole food, plant-based, no oil) diet will tell you, finding oil-free salad dressings in the store can be challenging at best, if not impossible. Sure, you can use salsa or a good balsamic vinegar, but nothing beats the taste of a good homemade dressing. And guys, this one is SUPER easy to make! You can whisk this up in a jar in less than a minute and it tastes SO GOOD, especially if you like Korean spices as much as I do. These a ..read more

This Vegan Tahini Salad Dressing tastes just like Annie's Goddess Dressing but with a lot fewer calories since it is oil-free! Same great flavor! We have started a new Spectacular Summer Salad Extravaganza Challenge over in our BNV Community Support Group. The goal is to eat a big salad every single day for a month. Last week I made this incredibly tasty Sangchu Geotjeori (Korean Lettuce Salad) so I thought this week I would try to make a copycat version of one of my old favorite salad dressings, Annie's Goddess Dressing. It came out pretty darn good I think, and without the oil it has consid ..read more

Whoever says that salads are BORING has never tried this Korean Lettuce Salad! The flavor of the gochugaru dressing is out of this world! I'll be adding a few more SALAD recipes this summer since we started our Spectacular Summer Salad Extravaganza over in my BNV Support Group. Our new challenge is to eat a BAS (big a$$ salad ?) at least once a day. But how many people think salads are BORING? Or that a "salad" is that scrawny piece of lettuce on their cheeseburger? Or a tiny bowl of iceberg lettuce drowned in ranch dressing? Well, I want to prove them WRONG! One of MY goals for this challeng ..read more

Seeing how today IS Mother's Day (and a very happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there), I thought a nice refreshing salad might be the way to go for today's recipe.
