I just spent an hour pinning a handful of all these recipes. I am SO STOKED to make them! I went vegan a year ago and your website, Instagram, and book have been my bible. Thank you for all these tried and true recipes! I’ve made several off your site for friends and family and everyone is floored by how good they are. THANK YOU!!!
The creamy vegan white pasta with summer vegetables is fabulous. I plan to serve it the next time my meat loving friends come to dinner!
I try to get nutritional yeast into our diet when I can, because it’s such an excellent source of B12, which is the only thing we vegans are lacking in our diet.
Thanks for this – you are always an inspiration. Trying new easy recipes in this time of Covid…… while having to fix 3 meals a day, makes your healthy vegan ideas even more important and relevant!
This was perfect timing for me. My vegan recipes were getting a little blah lately. So this is going to give me a new sparkle In the kitchen. I’ve tried your recipes before and they are mostly a hit with my family. Very excited to try the meat balls!!! Thanks again!
Hi Tobi, we have three vegan pot pie recipes (1, 2, 3). You could maybe try topping with our GF biscuits and using GF all purpose flour in the filling.
