Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Cuppa Joe chili

    • hbakke on July 16, 2024

      Great flavor but 3/4 cup of dark roast coffee made this too bitter. Had to add lime juice and a little agave to offset the bitterness.

  • Perfect peanut butter curry

    • NicoleBrown on July 16, 2024

      This is my favorite thing I’ve made from the book so far. Great way to clear out the fridge of veggies! Next time I cook this recipe I’ll make enough to freeze!

  • Hot-pink pasta

    • NicoleBrown on July 16, 2024

      This was very beautiful, but everyone at my house agreed it lacked a little flavor. Added goat cheese to ours.

  • We-got-the-beet chips

    • NicoleBrown on August 08, 2024

      These were alright for me. Very similar to kale chips. Not sure I’ll repeat.

  • The knead for flatbread

    • NicoleBrown on July 16, 2024

      I’ve made this 3 times so far. I use my homemade Greek yogurt rather than vegan yogurt. My flatbread always seems to inflate (my kids call it, “pocket bread”), but everyone really enjoys the taste! Dough looks a little shaky in the beginning, but does come together after 5 minutes of kneading.

  • "Death by chocolate" flapjacks

    • NicoleBrown on July 16, 2024

      A HUGE hit with the chocolate lovers in my house. Pretty decadent - feels more like dessert than breakfast. For the chocolate sauce I just threw chocolate chips with a small amount of coconut oil in the microwave.

  • Veggie masala burgers

    • NicoleBrown on July 22, 2024

      Good flavors, but I’m not sure I’ll go through the efforts of forming them into patties again. Mine were on the dry side. I think roasting the rest of the veggies for the same time as potatoes was not the best. Still tasty! I made the tahini dressing as suggested + added some pickled cabbage, and melted cheese to mine.

  • Wacky cake

    • NicoleBrown on August 08, 2024

      I was intrigued by this cake and loved reading the story behind it. It’s very tasty! We even used the chickpea liquid (though I was a bit scared) in place of oil(and I didn’t tell my kids), but what a cool swap! I found the peanut butter frosting pretty hard to spread, but did my best. Definitely make sure the cake is fully cooled. Texture of cake is a little different than typical cake. Maybe…chewier? Denser? But everyone in my family loved it!

  • Everything tahini dressing

    • NicoleBrown on July 25, 2024

      I liked this, but I didn’t love it. I tried messing around with the ingredients a bit to get my tastebuds to the, “love it” zone, but I wasn’t able to get there this time. Maybe if I try the spicy version.

  • Peanut butter jar latte

    • NicoleBrown on July 16, 2024

      Smart and easy way to make a fun latte at home! I’m a huge peanut butter fan and I loved this.

  • No-waste nut milk

    • NicoleBrown on July 27, 2024

      Quick & easy way to make almond milk on the fly!

  • Common ground granola

    • NicoleBrown on August 12, 2024

      Decent. You can definitely taste the coffee. Originally I wasn’t going to add the chocolate chips, but I did to help bring in more sweetness. Mine did not make clumps. My favorite granola remains to be from the Love Real Food cookbook. Not sure I’ll repeat this one, though I love the idea of it!

Save money, reduce food waste and eat healthier than you ever have before with PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking, the brand new highly anticipated second cookbook from New York Times bestselling author and social media sensation, Carleigh Bodrug.

Spinning off of Bodrug's wildly popular Scrappy Cooking social media series, the cookbook is packed with over 150+ whole-food, plant-based recipes that show the reader how to make the most of the food they have in their fridge and pantry with easy and approachable vegan recipes anyone can make.

Transform radish tops into pesto, broccoli stems into summer rolls and wilting greens into smoothie cubes... But that's not all. The book will equip readers with not only the tools to make the most of their scraps, but use up just about any vegetable, grain or bean from their fridge and pantry in the flexible Kitchen Raid Recipes, or cross reference commonly wasted foods like stale bread from a "Got This, Make That" index so these items can be used up in the easiest and most delicious way possible.

Scrappy Cooking not only puts the focus on eating a diet that's more conscious for our environment (and our wallets) but our health as well. Every recipe in the book is vegan, almost entirely oil free, and focuses on whole, plant-based foods that are good for our bodies and the planet. Get ready for recipes like The Whole Darn Squash (Pasta), Skillet Lasagna, One Pan Orzo Casserole, Vodka Penne With Broccolini, Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Chickpea Pot Pie, Orange Peel Chickn’, Loaded Tortilla Bowls, Sheet Pan Tacos with Carrot Top Chimichurri, Rebel “Ribs”, Veggie Masala Burgers, Palak “Paneer”, Vegan Meaty Hand Pies, We-Got-the-Beet Chips, Pickle-Mania Chips, Cornmeal Biscuits, Bang Bang Broccoli-cious Steaks…and more!
