Balsamic-Glazed Seasoned Yam Fries
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite plant-powered ingredients. I use them in everything from dips to stews to casseroles desserts. One of my family’s favorite ways to enjoy them is in fry form. I switch up the seasonings some nights, and this is one version our family really loves.
A savory white bean and spinach filling seasoned with garlic, onions, and white wine, are sure to make these stuffed mushrooms a hit at your next party. In fact, they’re so scrumptious, you’ll probably forget they’re also packed with nutrients. You might want to make a double batch, because they go fast!

I first had a peanutty dish similar to this when my sons treated me to dinner at an African restaurant. What makes this recipe so good is that I serve it on top of Plátanos Maduros.
Plátanos Maduros – Sweet Baked Plantains
One of the most common foods in tropical climates, the plantain is incredibly versatile and relatively simple to prepare. Larger than bananas, plantains can be consumed whether they are green or yellow and can be found in most grocery stores.
What I’ve learned about cooked kale is that you need to make the perfect sauce. In this recipe, I’ve used a lemon mustard sauce and then added a touch of sweetness from diced sweet potatoes.
These perfectly crisp baked french fries are the perfect side for veggie burgers and carrot dogs. By boiling the potatoes for a few minutes before baking, you reduce some of the starch and provide enough moisture to yield crispy fries that are completely oil free.

These vegan muffins pack a powerful nutritional punch unlike traditional muffins, which are often full of butter, sugar, and saturated fats. They make a great breakfast, and are the perfect size for a light lunch or mid afternoon snack.
Traditional Irish Brown Soda Bread – Vegan Style
A couple of months into my plant-based journey, I began to miss my little Sunday ritual of making my Irish grandmother’s traditional Brown Soda Bread. It’s so simple and satisfying to make, that after trying, and spectacularly failing to find an equally delicious alternative, I decided to come up with my own vegan version of it. And although it’s taken a good few weeks of fine-tuning, I think I’ve finally cracked it. Not wanting to stray from the original recipe too much, I substituted only what was absolutely necessary in order to keep the taste as authentic as possible. I’m super happy, and proud, of the outcome, as I know my grandmother would not only give me her seal of approval but also join me in having a nice oven-warm slice together with a delightfully strong cup of black tea! It’s a truly wonderful bread, that can be enjoyed with sweet or savory toppings, or even just plain, being perfect to dip in any kind of vegetable soup or stew.
This rice and beans recipe compliments any vegetable dish for a deliciously filling plant-based meal.
This recipe is more about cutting technique than ingredients. Our family never ate many collards until I learned this ribbon style of cutting, which eliminates their tough texture. If you usually just chop them, you’ll see that this style of cutting makes a huge difference.
The sweetness of sweet potatoes combined with creamy hummus and savory coconut bacon bits, serve as the perfect meal or side dish for any occasion.
