Beefless Broccoli Creamy Pasta

Comfort food is something I tend to make a lot, especially foods that resemble favorites from my childhood. This was a Happy Accident that tasted amazing, so I thought I would share it with you! It is reminiscent of hamburger helper, but obviously vegan and slightly more healthy!

*It is important to note that culinary coconut milk is much thicker and higher in fat content than regular coconut milk for drinking. If you try to use the thinner version, it will taste different and be a runny sauce.*

Ingredients:

1 box of spinach rotini pasta
3-4 cups of frozen broccoli
2/3-1 cup of So Delicious Dairy Free culinary coconut milk
1 1/2 cups of Gardein Ultimate Beefless Ground
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 cubes of Edward and Sons Not-beef broth and seasoning
Water

Directions:

1. Cook pasta as indicated by packaging directions.

2. In a separate large pan combine broccoli, beefless ground, culinary coconut milk, and water. Stir until un-clumped and defrosted.

3. Add seasoning cubes and nutritional yeast. Stir until dissolved. Simmer until everything is cooked down properly (about 7 minutes)

4. Remove from heat and add drained pasta. Serve immediately with extra nutritional yeast as topping.

Makes four large servings.

Fellowship Of The Ring Eat-athon

Fellowship Of The Ring Eat-athon, Part One! (We are pacing ourselves with small portions... It's the reason for the half apples or cupcakes!) We begin with a hobbit chomping into a cake! We started by eating half of a vanilla cranberry cupcake! And there's a number of times tea is made in the Hobbiton, so go ahead and make a whole pot (we drank this lovely Earl Grey blend from @adagioteas fandom blends) Bilbo Baggins turns 111! So we eat the other half of the cupcake! Merry eats an apple to look nonchalant while stealing fireworks with Pippin. After seeing some elves in the forest, Sam can't sleep on the hard ground and eats some bread in the middle of the night... My kind of hobbit! Then, as we make it to Bree, we see Peter Jackson take a huge bite out of a carrot... We had baby carrots😂 Pippin's infamous Second Breakfast scene gives us another opportunity to eat an apple! ...

Coconut Curry Rice

Coconut Curry Rice! Hello everyone! Long time no post, I know! It has been a super crazy fall and the year is startlingly almost over. I have a super crazy week coming up, and I'm currently under the weather, so I decided to do some cooking since I didn't want to go out in the rain. I had some coconut milk I needed to use in the fridge, I've been craving curry, and I needed to use up some things in the freezer, so I decided to meal prep for this week since I'm going to be super busy. This is the end result! Ingredients: 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 large white onion 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup frozen corn 1 can bamboo shoots 1 package of extra firm tofu, diced 3 green onions 1 cup coconut milk 2 @edwardandsons curry cubes 2 cups dry basmati rice Garlic powder to taste Salt to taste Directions: I basically cooked the onions in olive oil, threw everything else into the pot with a bunch of water, brought it to a boil, then simmered for 20 minutes. Really super ea...

Vegan Red Beans and Rice

This is my favorite local food. Since going vegan I don't eat it a lot, since I can't order it at restaurants because they are full of meat. It's actually really easy to make, and is super tasty. Everyone has their own family recipe, it seems, for red beans. You will find so many people using different ingredients to make them taste amazing. This is just my take on red beans and rice, New Orleans style, without the meat. Enjoy! Variation 1: the easy way Ingredients: 2 cans no salt added red kidney beans, drained 4 stalks celery, chopped 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp onion powder 1 tap kosher salt flakes Directions: Throw everything in the pot except the beans and cook until soft. Add beans and a little water and cook until thoroughly heated. Take a hand blender and puree 1/2 the pot until smooth. Mix together and serve with rice. Variation 2: the long version Ingredients: 1 package ...
