Buffalo Cauliflower

Buffalo sauce is one of my favorite sauces of all time - and it's so EASY to make a vegan version! It's one of my signature recipes - definitely my most requested recipe of all time. What to put it on, you ask? Instead of animal "stuff" or even tofu, give these cauliflower "wings" a try. Warning: they are totally addictive!


Ingredients:



  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets

  • 1 cup almond milk

  • 1 cup organic corn meal

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 cup (or more!) vegan buffalo sauce

  • vegan ranch dressing for dipping


Preparation:



  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Combine the almond milk, corn meal, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  4. Whisk corn meal mixture until all clumps are gone.

  5. Coat the cauliflower pieces with the cornmeal mixture and place on baking sheet.

  6. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven and place pieces into a large mixing bowl with vegan buffalo sauce.

  8. Toss gently until each piece is well covered.

  9. Serve with store-bought or home-made vegan ranch dressing.

  10. Enjoy!

Soy Yogurt in the Instant Pot

Image
It is SO EASY to make soy yogurt in the Instant Pot - you need just two ingredients and some time. Be careful with the soy milk that you use, though. The only ingredients should be soybeans and water. Any additives/preservatives may throw off your end product. I typically use Westsoy original unsweetened or EdenSoy unsweetened soy milk. Also, keep in mind this may be a little thinner than some commercial yogurts, as it doesn't have any thickeners. Ingredients: 1 32 oz. box of unsweetened soy milk 1 Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus probiotic capsule Preparation: Open the package of soy milk. Pull or cut open the probiotic capsule and pour its contents into the soy milk carton. Cap the carton and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Pour the soy milk into four small (8 oz.) jars. Place the jars inside the Instant Pot pot - no water, no rack - just put them on the bottom of the pot. Put the lid on the IP and close the vent. Set the Instant Pot to the yogurt setting for 13 - 15 hours.

Vegan Queso

Oh my goodness - my quest for the PERFECT QUESO has concluded! This recipe is largely based on Lauren Toyota 's "the nacho cheese," which I found in her amazing book Vegan Comfort Classics (if you don't have it, you should order a copy today - seriously). I made a couple of tweaks based on my taste and the consistency that I desire in my queso. The result is absolute perfection. Careful - it's addictive! Ingredients: 1 cup of peeled, cubed gold potato (about 1 medium potato) 1/2 cup peeled, diced carrot (about one small to medium carrot) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3/4 cup of liquid from boiled vegetables 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1 1/2 teaspoons arrowroot starch (aka flour) 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder 1 teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 6 pickled jalapeno slices, plus 3 tablespoons of brine 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 teaspoon turmeric Preparation: Put th

Easy Teriyaki Sauce

Image
Oh my goodness - if I'd known making teriyaki sauce at home was this easy, I'd have quit buying it YEARS ago! This recipe is borrowed almost entirely from this post on budgetbytes.com . I added a little extra garlic and ginger because...well...that's the way I roll. Ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce or Tamari 3 tablespoons brown sugar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 cup water Preparation: Put the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small sauce pan. In a Pyrex measuring cup, mix the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch dissolves. Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the sauce pan. Bring the contents to a simmer, whisking constantly. Once the contents begin to simmer, remove from the heat. Enjoy as a sauce or marinade! (I like it with canned jackfruit and sliced mushrooms, cooked in the Instant Pot and then used to make teriyaki tacos - delish!)
