Mommy came across this recipe and wanted to try it out. Gotta say, I’m glad she did !
So this isn’t deep-fried but the peppers, onion and potatoes do get cooked in a bit of oil in the skillet ! We did add more cumin and black pepper than the recipe listed to make it better but otherwise there was nothing wrong with this recipe for us !
This recipe came from Fast & Easy Vegan Cookbook by JL Fields.

Hey y’all, hope you’re enjoying your weekend. Here’s all the recipes that I posted this week:
Take care y’all !
A vegan recipe that sounds good and requires no knife work? You know I’m trying that recipe out !
The original recipe mentions how you could use this in a variety of ways and since it’s still hot like summer time here, I chose to use it in a salad. The chickpeas were saucy enough that I didn’t add any kind of dressing to the greens. I did let the chickpeas cool down a little before adding them to the salad so I wouldn’t end up with a bunch of wilted greens. I liked the spicy, smoky and just a little sweet flavor of the finished sauce. I used Hickory barbecue sauce and chose to add liquid hickory smoke to my version so if you choose a different kind of barbecue sauce it might not have as much smokiness to the finished product. My mom thought the chickpeas were a little too spicy to eat all on their own so we also ended up fixing some brown rice to serve this with.

Pasta sounded so good to me so when I saw this recipe I was like “hell yeah, I wanna make this” !
Oh man I loved eating this ! The sauce was spicy, salty and a little sour/tangy. The peanuts still had some texture to them and I liked getting a bite with the green onion slices in it. I think this would also be really good with some fried tofu sprinkled on top !
Oh yeah by the way, the recipe calls for chile paste ( I used gochujang) and I decided to use 3 tablespoons of it. I also used 50% reduced-sodium tamari sauce instead of soy sauce to keep it from getting unpleasantly salty.

I was looking for a different way to add some flavor to my seitan sandwiches and knew I wanted to try this out as soon as I saw it.
This was a pretty easy recipe to fix up ! It was creamy, smoky and a little spicy. I’d be happy to fix it again in the future.

Happy “fry-day” y’all ! So stir-frying isn’t frying per se, but it does have the word “fry” in it so I’m running with it !
So I tossed some of the tofu into the sauce for the picture but the rest of it I kept out and just added it onto the mushroom mixture that was spread over rice ’cause the crunch of the tofu coating was so crispy that I didn’t want to risk losing any of that texture to it getting tossed in the sauce ! I did make the mistake of walking away from the mushrooms and onion while they were cooking and they got a little burnt (I don’t know if you can spot that in the picture or not) but the flavor of the sauce and the fresh green onion slices really masked a lot of the bitter flavor that could’ve come through otherwise. I liked this dish and think it’s worth making it again to see how much better it’d be if nothing got burnt !

The teriyaki sauce sounded delicious but it was the fact that this recipe cooks all the tofu at once in the oven instead of batches in a skillet that made the lazy side of me get really excited about trying this !
The sauce was full of flavor, wish I’d actually doubled it after tasting it but the texture of the tofu was kind of disappointing. I decided to go for the full 30 minutes instead of the minimum 25 but I really don’t think 5 minutes less would’ve taken away the… jerky like texture. But seriously though, the recipe really is worth making for the sauce, you just gotta find a different way to cook up the tofu !

This is a great vegan recipe for the end of your shopping week !
There’s nothing perishable in the ingredients list:
Plus (as long as you already have the cashews), this is a fairly cheap dish to put together ! I can’t post the directions for legal reasons unfortunately but I promise that this is a fairly quick and easy dish to whip up.
My mom has had this recipe in our favorites collection so long, I don’t remember where we found this recipe originally.
Take care y’all !
I know technically speaking you’re not supposed to have honey if you’re on a vegan diet so I decided to see if I could replicate the flavor of honey mustard but with agave instead.
Ingredients
Directions
1.) In a small mixing bowl, stir the agave, mustard and table salt together until combined.
2.) Add the coleslaw mix and red onion slices (if using) to a large mixing bowl, pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
I thought when I tasted the dressing on its own that the flavor of the agave and mustard were about 50/50 but once it got tossed with the coleslaw mix, it seemed like a lot of the mustard flavor went away so I added some pre-sliced onions we had in the fridge to the slaw and it seemed to add a nice sharpness to the slaw. I mention in the directions to serve the slaw immediately because I waited a while to take pictures of the slaw and by that point the salt in the dressing had drawn some of the water in the cabbage out and left the bottom of the bowl looking….watery. The flavor was still good but visually it wasn’t as appealing as it was when I first combined everything together.
This is my own recipe.
Take care y’all !
