Tofu Scramble with Roasted Potatoes

Sometimes you just want eggs. This recipe is a good substitute for the hearty egg breakfast and it uses tofu! It is paired with nicely seasoned roasted potatoes and fresh strawberries *insert heart eye emoji*.

The Big Transition

Being Vegan is something that you have to grow into. Take your time. I ALWAYS recommend that if you want to be vegan or vegetarian you should take your time. I know that there are a ton of documentaries out here telling you about the horrors of the meat industry and yes it’s scary af….

Snacking on Chuna Wish

I really used to love tuna. Like eat it several times a week. Snack, lunch, dinner, middle of the night… It didn’t matter. And once I decided that stop eating animals, I thought it was a wrap for tuna salad as well… but then I discovered the power of the chick pea. Hence the name…

Portobello Whopper

A big ass seasoned-up Portobello mushroom topped with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and sliced onion all sitting on a sesame seed bun is what your lunch time has been missing. You…
