Delicious salad with Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:

Roasted Chickpeas

Purple cabbage

Mixed greens

Lacinato kale

1 small bag of frozen peas

1-1/2 onion

Yellow Bell pepper

Broccoli

Coconut amino, lemon, tahini dressing

These happened to be the veggies I prefer and had in the fridge at the time. Add or take away whatever veggies you would like. πŸ˜‰

Before chopping veggies, put a small pot of water boiling for the frozen peas. Chop veggies to desired size. Once peas are done, strain and add to veggies. Mix veggies already in bowl, and they are ready to serve.

Once dished, add roasted chickpeas and dressing. Enjoy! πŸ™‚

Split pea Dahl

Ingredients:

2-3 cups of split peas

1 can of full fat coconut milk

1 bag of frozen spinach

7 cups of water

1-2 tablespoons of cumin

1 tablespoon onion and garlic

1 teaspoon turmeric (optional)

Sea salt or himalayan pink salt to desired taste πŸ™‚

In your crockpot combine all the ingredients together and cook on low heat for 6 hours – 8 hours, or on high heat for 2-3 hours stirring occasionally. Once split peas are soft, it is done. Serve with rice and coconut aminos/soy aminos or as desired. Enjoy. πŸ™‚

Optional – I like to add the spinach near the end.

Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:

2-3 cans of chickpeas (or equivalent amount in bulk chickpeas)

Paprika

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Cayenne pepper

Sea salt or himalayan pink salt

This amount of chickpeas is enough chickpeas for a few meals for two people.

Put oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.

While oven is heating up, strain chickpeas and add into mixing bowl. Into mixing bowl added the amount of spices to desired taste, and mix.

On a baking tray/pan, put parchment paper and add seasoned chickpeas to pan. Cook in the oven for 15-25 minutes, or to desired crispiness. Enjoy! πŸ™‚

Coconut amino, Lemon, Tahini dressing

Ingredients:

Coconut aminos

Tahini

Lemon juice

This is my absolute favorite dressing!!

Whether you are making a single serving or a bottle of dressing, it’s usually about equal parts of each ingredient. Adjust ingredients to your taste. πŸ™‚

For example- that much lemon may be too tart, or that much tahini may be too rich. I personally prefer a little less tahini and lemon compared to the coconut aminos.

Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

Ingredients:

Crust:

2 Big or 3 Medium Sweet Potatoes

3-4 cups of oat flour or blend oats into flour

2 tablespoons italian seasoning

Sea salt or himalayan salt (desired amount)

For pizza toppings:

Pizza or spaghetti sauce

Italian seasoning

Onion

Homemade vegan cheese or healthiest version of vegan cheese you can find. πŸ™‚

Whatever other toppings you desire πŸ™‚

I used an almond ricotta in picture. πŸ˜‰

Bake sweet potatoes in oven at 375 degrees F for 45 – 60 minutes or until done. (This can be done the morning or night/day before – left over cooked sweet potatoes can be used as well.)

When you are ready to make the crust, put the oven to 425 Degrees F. Blend oats in blender to make oat flour. Add sweet potatoes (with or without skin, if skin isn’t too tough), add 3/4 of the flour, italian seasoning, and salt to bowl. Mix with hands until it forms into “ball of dough”, almost like bread. If the dough is still too wet, add the rest of the oat flour.

Before forming the dough into a crust shape, put a piece of parchment paper down on cooking sheet/pan and shape dough into desired thickness and size. (NOTE: This dough is stickier due to the sweet potato – so you may need some water to prevent too much sticking)

Healthy Seasoned French Fries

Ingredients:

4 Big or 5-6 Medium Yukon or Russet or 8-12 Small Red Skin Potatoes

1-2 Tablespoons of Avocado oil (preferred – you can use olive oil as well)

Paprika

Parsley

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Sea salt or himalayan salt

Put oven to 425 degrees F. Cut potatoes in slices or wedges. In a bowl put cut potatoes, avocado oil, and spices. Mix together until spices are evenly spread.

Put down a piece of parchment paper, and spread out seasoned potatoes on cooking sheet/pan.

Bake potatoes in oven for 30-40 minutes, or until they are cooked to preferred crispiness or tenderness.

Let cool, serve, and enjoy!

Vegan “tuna” Mock Salad

Ingredients:

2 – 3 cans of cannelloni beans, chickpeas, or a combinations.

4-6 Stalks of celery

2 cans of peas

1 big red onion

1-2 tablespoons of tahini

1-2 tablespoons of lemon

Seaweed (optional)

Fresh or dried dill (to preferred taste)

Sea salt or himalayan salt

In a large bowl put drained beans; mash with potato masher or fork.

Cut up celery and onion, and add to large bowl with beans.

Drain peas and add to bowl, along with dill, salt, and seaweed (crush seaweed with hands).

Serve plain, as a sandwich, in a tortilla, or in a lettuce/collard green wrap. I personally loved it wrapped in collard greens! Enjoy. πŸ˜‰

White bean kale Soup

Ingredients:

1 or 2 cans cannelloni beans

2-4 stalks of celery

3-4 medium carrots

1 big onion

2-3 gloves of cut up garlic (if you prefer you can put more).

4 cups vegetable stock or 4 cups water

1 tablespoon of lemon

1-2 small or medium sweet potatoes

2-4 small to medium regular potatoes

1 bag frozen kale or one bunch of fresh kale

1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (optional)

Italian seasoning

Cayenne Pepper

Bay leaf (optional)

Sea salt or himalayan salt

Cut up onion, celery, carrots, and garlic.

In a large pot, add oil, onion, carrots, and celery. Heat on medium to high high until onions are caramelized, and then add your garlic and some salt.

While that is cooking, I like to cut up my potatoes.

Then add your 4 cups of veggie broth (or water), potatoes, Italian seasoning, cayenne, bay leaf, and more salt. Turn heat down to medium and cover until veggies are soft. (About 10-15 minutes).

Then add your cannelloni beans, kale, and lemon. Let everything sit on stove for a bit or preferably overnight to let all the flavors come together.

When you are ready to eat, serve in a bowl. Enjoy. πŸ˜‰

Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

2 bananas

3/4 cup of applesauce (optional- pancakes turn out great without the applesauce too- I just personally prefer it)

2 cups of oatmeal (blend up oats in blender to make oat flour)

1 cup plant milk

Cinnamon (optional)

Sea salt or himalayan salt

Coconut oil to oil pan

Optional toppings:

Real Maple Syrup

Nut butter

Fruit or jam

Heat pan with coconut oil, to prepare pan for pancake batter.

Mash bananas with a fork in a mixing bowl. Once bananas are mashed add the rest of the ingredients and mix together.

Add blueberries if you would like. πŸ™‚ Easiest to flip if you make small to medium sized pancakes; flip them when you see quite a few bubbles forming and popping.

You can also use buckwheat or any other flour instead of oat flour. Enjoy!

Granola fruit bowl

Ingredients:

Homemade or healthy store bought granola

Lots of fruit (fresh or frozen)

Plant based milk

Ground flax or chia seeds

Nut butter of choice (optional)

Sea salt or himalayan salt (optional)

Cut up the fruit that needs to be chopped. Add granola, fruit, flax or chia, nut butter, milk together in a bowl and enjoy!

In picture I used frozen mixed berries, an apple, banana, pineapple, with granola, flax and milk. πŸ™‚

Rice & Bean wrap

Ingredients:

Rice of choice (cilantro rice, leftover white or brown rice with or without beans)

Beans mixed into rice or refried beans

Spinach or lettuce

Avocado or guacamole

Salsa

Sprouts

Salt, onion powder, garlic powder

Whatever ingredients you need to use up or think would be good in your wrap. Experiment. πŸ˜‰

I know there are many amazing wraps out there, and many variations you can make. πŸ™‚

This one is beans, rice, and corn, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt; over spinach topped with avocado and sprouts.

We tend to use whatever foods we have in our fridge at the time. If it’s not spinach, then lettuce or kale, for example.

This is a brown rice wrap, but you can use any kind of wrap you would like. Lentil, wheat, spinach, etc. I hope you enjoy!

Healthy Carob β€œFudgsicle”

2 Tablespoons Carob powder (I’m guessing, it could be more) 🍫

A little sea salt or Himalayan saltπŸ§‚
