  • neab on June 01, 2022

    12 oz fresh hot chili's 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 tbsp minced onion Combine with 1/4 cup water and cook over high heat, stirring fir 3 minutes. Add 1 1/4 cups water and cook medium fir 15 - 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Add to food processor ND get smooth. Add 1/2 - 1 cup apple cider vinegar to taste. In glass jar can be stored for 6 months.

• French toast with berry drizzle

  • NicoleBrown on July 08, 2025

    Good! Halved the recipe. Dirtying my blender seemed unnecessary. Whisked together in shallow bowl/dish instead. Subbed maple syrup for date. Turmeric does provide a lovely yellow shade! Make sure your first side is pretty dried out before you attempt to flip. Served with some Kite Hill Greek style yogurt mixed with PB Fit + blueberries. Got this up to 28g of protein! Will repeat!

• Warm pear compote

  • NicoleBrown on October 25, 2025

    Such a delightful recipe to make & eat in the fall. Subbed maple syrup instead of date sugar + used dried cranberries instead of raisins.

• Pumpkin seed dip

  • SugarFree_Vegan on July 24, 2018

    The gram measurement for the beans in wrong as 95g is not 1.5 cups! A can of drained beans weighs approx 230g! Anyway, I really liked this particularly as the pumpkin seeds stay a little bit chunky and therefore add some texture to the dip - you could process for much longer for more of a smooth result. The miso is fab - anything with miso and tahini is always a winner for me.

• Kale & white bean soup

  • Mweisenburger on November 03, 2024

    So good! 11-3-24

• Sesame purple cabbage & carrot slaw

  • Dcampos on July 09, 2018

    This was really good. It tasted even better the next day.

  • catatat on July 19, 2020

    If you make this, make sure you eat it on the same day. The salad dressing separates and becomes an unpleasant texture.

  • NicoleBrown on July 10, 2025

    Good! Originally I thought the grapes were an odd addition, but the slaw needs them for some sweetness. Based on people disagreeing if it keeps well the following day, I kept the dressing separate and will toss it together as I eat it.

• Black bean burgers

  • NicoleBrown on February 12, 2026

    Good! I was nervous to flip these, as I am with all veggie burgers, but they held together nicely! Super easy and quick to throw together in the food processor. Tasty, too! Didn’t have parsley, so I subbed cilantro. Next time I will double the recipe for freezing!

• Beet burgers

  • NicoleBrown on July 02, 2025

    Quite tasty! I use cooked brown rice. Really enjoyed the addition of the walnuts in this. Probably could have cooked mine a little longer as they were still kind of soft. Recipe says it makes 6 patties, but they must be huge. I did 115g per patty and ended up with 8. Topped with sauerkraut, spinach, and some sunflower cream sauce I had made up in the fridge.

• Whole roasted cauliflower with lemon tahini sauce

  • SugarFree_Vegan on July 21, 2018

    I love lemon, miso, tahini and cauliflower so it was a no brainer to make this dish. I didn't however bake a whole cauli as I was only cooking for myself today. I just split enough cauliflower into florets and blanched them in boiling water for max of 2 mins. I then brushed the cauli with the sauce and baked it for about 20-30 mins until tender and toasty. Served with some roasted chickpeas and salad this is a wonderful, cheap and easy dish to make for 1 or for many.

• Mac & cheese

  • musik on August 11, 2021

    Cook carrots in the microwave and blend all ingredients in the blender, still tastes amazing. Double the batch and freeze half and cook fresh pasta and bake for a quick dinner.

  • NicoleBrown on August 26, 2025

    Taste does not resemble Mac and cheese, but that’s fine. I’m used to vegan/plant based name stretches. Unfortunately I found the sauce to be on the bland side. Will finish, but not repeat.

• Yellow rice & black beans with broccoli

  • Carolynmoore on January 02, 2020

    This was really good! Great flavor. Simple and fast with items I had on hand. I used Instant Pot and added broccoli at the end to steam. My husband said he could eat it weekly

  • Churchim808 on October 09, 2025

    This was a bit of a disappointment for me. The 1.5 tsp of tumeric overpowered the other flavors. I wish I had cut that way back and I like tumeric!

• Roasted beets with balsamic-braised beet greens

  • Acarroll on August 26, 2023

    Very good and simple, I would make again. I scrubbed the beets but didn't peel them, which was fine. I would omit the sugar, the greens turned out too sweet with the reduced balsamic. I did cheat a little and sprayed some avocado oil for the last part of baking the beets, and I finished it with some flaky salt.

• Baked onion rings

  • NicoleBrown on March 03, 2026

    I enjoyed these! Red onion felt like an odd choice for onion rings. I used sweet onions instead. My husband said there was a texture from them getting stuck in his teeth. He thinks it might be the cornmeal. If we repeat I’ll try leaving that ingredient out next time.

• Buffalo cauliflower with ranch dressing

  • NicoleBrown on July 06, 2025

    Have you ever wanted to eat an entire head of cauliflower in one sitting? This was delicious. I’ve made variations of buffalo cauliflower before, but using chickpea flour was a new twist for me. Breading did come off a bit when I tossed them in the oven at the halfway point. Used vegan sriracha for my hot sauce + a higher protein vegan ranch recipe vs what was in the book. Will repeat!

• Berry chocolate chia pudding

  • NicoleBrown on August 29, 2025

    A bit more effort in comparison to other chia puddings I’ve made + didn’t set very well. Taste is ok. Won’t repeat.

• Banana-chocolate smoothie

  • catatat on June 28, 2020

    This recipe uses date syrup, not dates.
