Minestrone Soup

“I served this recipe at a family gathering because I needed a vegan option to a more traditional chowder. It was a total hit! Everyone who tried it commented on how delicious it was. I was impressed by how easy it was to prepare and I chose fresh cilantro which added to the presentation. This is a great recipe!”

Vegan Gluten-free Lasagna

“Made this tonight- I precooked the zucchini a little to eliminate the water and added fresh parsley and more Daiya to the “ricotta.” It was delicious! Even the non-vegan husband approved! Thanks for the delicious recipe.”

Best Vegan Chili Ever

“I am not vegan, but this chili was absolutely fantastic. My family could not believe this was vegan and loved every bite. It was thick, hearty, and full of flavor. … I am slowly transitioning into a more plant-based diet and this has become a go-to recipe in my household now. Thank you so much!”

Best Vegan Chili Ever

“Just made this recipe for the first time! I am contemplating going vegan and at least trying to have a more plant-based diet. This was a winner recipe for me and my husband (who is no where near a vegan). … there were no complaints from the hubby … I paired it with vegan corn bread and now I can’t wait to have this tomorrow!”
