Vegan Nachos Bell Grande

January 30, 2015Appetizers, Dairy Free, Gluten-Free, Snacks, Vegan, Vegetariangluten free vegan recipe, Violife Viofree Viotros Vegan CheeseJake

It’s time for the Super Bowl! Do you have your vegan snacks planned out for Sunday yet? If you do not, why not join us in making vegan nachos bell grande a.k.a. nachos supreme! I keep recreating all these junk foods from my non-vegan days. Perhaps it is not the healthiest thing to be doing but I think it’s nice to show people who are thinking of making the transition what is actually possible. Besides, how unhealthy can walnuts, almonds and tomatoes actually be? It’s so delicious too! So, who’s ready for some football?

Pows! Gluten Free Vegan “Meat” on Bread with Cheddar

December 2, 2014Appetizers, Dairy Free, Gluten-Free, Main Courses, Side Dishes, Snacks, Vegan, Vegetariangluten free vegan recipe, Violife Viofree Viotros Vegan CheeseJake

Pows! What in the world is a pow? Well, as legend has it, my mom’s sister and her roommate made these when they were in college. They took the only ingredients they had left in the house and pow! Pows were officially born. My mom made these for my siblings and I as we grew up and we loved them! I actually never knew the story behind them until I told my mom a few weeks ago I was making vegan pows. She told me the story so now I know they came from my Aunt.

Making this recipe vegan was pretty easy and definitely delicious! I had to make these because I wanted Athanasia to try one of my favorite childhood foods veganized. As it turns out, she loves them too so I have made these a few times in the past month! This tasty grub can be served as an appetizer, snack, side dish or even a main course (they are filling)!

Roasted Red Peppers With Vegan Feta

November 28, 2014Appetizers, Dairy Free, Gluten-Free, Snacks, Vegan, Vegetariangluten free vegan recipe, Traditional Greek RecipeAthanasia

Due to popular demand we present to you a simple recipe for a Greek appetizer: roasted red peppers with vegan feta cheese. Jake is in love with the vegan feta, I have heard him say things like “I would buy it dinner and…”, “I could eat this every day” (which has been the case the past few weeks), and “I should marry this feta and have little feta kids running around”. Sounds like he found himself a mate there! It also sounds like he has more Greek in him than it shows. Who knew? Lucky for him, feta goes with everything, and especially with roasted red peppers! (Note from Jake: It’s true, I have said all of these things. I am not saying I am proud of it but I am certainly not ashamed either. This vegan feta is scrumtrulescent!)
