Do you love vegan stuffed shells ? Can’t get enough vegan lasagna ? Well then, this vegan manicotti recipe might just be your new favourite dinner!

This easy mango basil salsa is a sweet-and-spicy crowd-pleaser, perfect for parties or for snacking at home. You only need 5 ingredients and a few minutes to make it! I grow my own basil—three different varieties, in fact!—so it goes without saying that I am always looking for new ways to use it.

These parmesan garlic green beans are incredible. I spent 10 minutes trying to think of what to name them, and I came up with Garlic-Parmesan Sesame Stir Fry Green Beans. It was either that or How To Love Green Beans because that’s exactly what ended up happening here. You know this recipe is amazing if it made me, International Hater of Green Beans, not only eat it but enjoy it....

Garlic Fries are impossible to resist, especially when they’re loaded with minced garlic, grated vegan Parmesan, and fresh parsley. I share methods for frying and for baking, but either way, they’re crispy and divine! When you put a plate of fries in front of me, I turn into one of those emojis with heart eyes. Truffle Fries ? Yes! Loaded Nacho Fries ? I’m there! And these garlic fries? I could eat them all day, every day!...

Bruschetta is my favourite appetizer in the world. If you’re a tomato lover and you haven’t tried bruschetta yet, you need to try it. Bruschetta originated from Italy, and is basically toasted bread that has been rubbed with garlic, butter and lightly salted topped with a blend of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese. Sometimes it’s served cold, sometimes hot; I love both ways. What you’re essentially making to describe it differently, is garlic bread topped with delicious tomatoes and cheese....

For a simple cocktail that’s elegant, crisp, and bubbly—but also something a little bit different—try this kir royale recipe! Made with sparkling wine and crème de cassis, it’s absolutely divine. What Is a Kir Royale? A kir royale is a classic French cocktail that has similar vibes to a mimosa or peach Bellini . Like mimosas, the kir royale is effervescent and fruity, but the kir royale is a little extra boozy since it swaps the orange juice for crème de cassis, a sweet red liqueur made from blackcurrants....

Marry me chickpeas are the vegan version of a viral sensation! These chickpeas are creamy and garlicky, with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil to make them extra delicious. Marry me chicken was made popular by TikTok and I’ve already put a vegan spin on it with my marry me pasta . But I just can’t get that creamy-dreamy sauce out of my head, so I decided to do another plant-based twist on the recipe: marry me chickpeas....

What is it about pumpkin spice lattes that makes them so irresistible? I know there are some haters out there, but I think most people look forward to them showing up on coffee house menus every fall—me included! My go-to is an iced pumpkin spice latte since I live in a warmer climate, so that’s what we’re whipping up today!...

These Vegan Almond Flour Brownies are the best gluten-free brownies I’ve ever tried! They’re made in one bowl, are chewy, fudgy, rich with chocolate flavour and only 10 ingredients! You’re looking at these photos and I know what you’re thinking. Wowww I should really save this as my phone’s background! No? Only me? Well, I’ve been thinking about these brownies so much since perfecting them that they are indeed saved as my phone’s lock screen & home screen....

There’s just nothing like Moravian Sugar Cake! My vegan version is soft and lightly chewy like the original, but the buttery cinnamon sugar topping is plant-based. Moravian sugar cake is a staple in Moravian communities in Pennsylvania and it really isn’t your typical cake. While it might look like a coffee cake , it’s made with a yeasted dough and that yeasted dough is made with potatoes. These two attributes give the cake a totally unique texture that’s a little bit chewy, but also light, pillowy, and fluffy....

This Watermelon Granita is the easiest dessert you’ll ever make! It’s only 3 ingredients and tastes unbelievably delicious! Ever since our trip to Italy, I’ve been fantasising about recreating one of the desserts that I…I mean we had our trip. I’ve played with the idea of granita before and finally decided that being summer, it was now or never, never being next year of course. I only have three words: Wow, Watermelon Granita....

These air fryer veggie chips are made with beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, and smoked paprika! They crisp up beautifully in the air fryer, perfect for pairing with your favorite dip. Beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes may not be the first foods that come to mind when you think “chips.” But they totally should be, because after a quick coating in olive oil, these veggies are ready to be cooked in the air fryer....

Whether you add it to sandwiches or serve it up as a side dish, this broccoli slaw recipe is going to be a HIT! It’s crisp and crunchy, sweet and savory, with a creamy vegan dressing so good, you’ll want to eat it with a spoon. I love pairing broccoli slaw with cheesy buffalo cauliflower wings for a crispy, spicy, and balanced bite. Most slaw recipes—like my KFC Coleslaw —are made with cabbage....

A dirty chai latte is the caffeine boost we all need in our lives, with espresso and black tea, plus those signature cozy chai spices for flavour. It’ll keep you warm and help perk you up too! The name might make you do a double-take, but a dirty chai latte is simply a chai latte with an added shot of espresso or strong coffee. Because let’s be real: sometimes just the tea is not enough to get you going....

This gluten-free sandwich bread won’t disappoint! A custom gluten-free flour blend yields a soft, tender bread that’s still sturdy enough to stand up to any sandwich filling. Although in theory you can use any bread to make sandwiches, a sandwich bread is ideal. It’s the right size, the right texture, and the perfect flavour to complement (rather than compete with!) your fillings. But finding a vegan and gluten-free sandwich bread recipe you actually want to eat can be difficult....

This Grilled Peach, Basil and Vegan Goat Cheese Pizza is a winner! Topped with soft grilled peaches, creamy vegan “goat” cheese and a delicious tangy balsamic drizzle. It’s the perfect grilled summer pizza! Homemade pizza is one of those things that I believe everyone needs to experience once (or ten times, who’s counting?) in their lives because it will always, always taste better when you’ve made it at home. Kale Pesto Pizza anyone?...

Add some rich creaminess to your next cup of coffee with this homemade oat milk creamer . It’s easy to whip up, with all kinds of flavour options to make it your own!

Who knew humble little oats could be made into a delicious, creamy milk?...
