Fresh morel mushrooms are in season and you can find these beauties at your local specialty store or if you’re in Dallas, Central Market has them. We made this amazing vegan mushroom risotto with a morel sauce. We used oat milk with the morels to give it that creamy texture. If you haven’t had these earthy yet decadent mushrooms, we highly recommend them. It’s second best to truffles. #meatorvegan #vegan #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganlife #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #eatclean #cleaneating #foodie #instagood #foodpic #eat #risotto #veganrisotto #veganrisottorecipe #vegetarianrisotto #morelmushrooms #morels #morelrisotto #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarian #vegetarianfood #dfwvegetarians #dallasvegetarians #dallasvegan #centralmarket https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKDU6TpvdW/?igshid=1ioy1id4go5fw

After a month of intense cooking and recipe creations, Heather and I have decided to hit Mexico for some relaxation. We’ll be posting photos of what we’ve created but have decided to venture into a digital cookbook filled with some amazing vegan recipes, videos and what products are best to use when trying to recreate a meat-based dish. We guarantee your family will like the vegan version better. Stay in touch and continue to follow us on this new adventure. Until then, cheers from a tequila tasting in Riviera Maya @eldoradoresorts. #eldoradocasitas #experienceeldorado #meatorvegan #foodie #vegan #coupleblogging #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #dfwblogcouple #dallasbloggers #dfwbloggers #foodblogger #foodblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHPVBepJMg/?igshid=8azfohngxbfg

Couples retreat to the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Flagstaff. We were lucky to visit the Grand Canyon on its second day reopening with very few people. As foodies, we were able to eat lunch on a rocky cliff overlooking the canyon. #meatorvegan #lifestyle #coupleblogging #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #couples #couplebloggers #grandcanyon #grandcanyondeerfarm #covidvacation https://www.instagram.com/p/CARAPu-prYm/?igshid=p4c0s4lsgov

Vegan Waffles with Tempeh Hash. Sunday brunch is one of our favorites and every weekend Heather and I take turns creating a new brunch recipe. One thing is consistent, fresh mimosas. This week we made a smoked tempeh hash with the fresh vegetables from our weekly @reevesfamilyfarm box. We also made savory vegan waffles, topped with fresh strawberry preserves, compliments of @chefteddygrieb and #reevesfamilyfarm and some fresh mint. Hash Recipe: chop 1 bell pepper, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 small onion. Cut 2 small red potatoes and about 3/4 cup smoked tempeh (recipe in BLT post) into tiny cubes. Place 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan on the stove over medium-high heat. When hot, toss in the potatoes. Let sit for 3 minutes then toss and let sit another 3 minutes. Add all the other ingredients and toss to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes. Taste and add more salt as needed. Waffle Recipe: In a small blender add: 1+1/4 cup oat milk, 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup oats (quick oats would work best), 1 tsp flax seeds, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp almond extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, heavy pinch of salt and 3 basil leaves. Blend well to combine. Cook waffles in your favorite waffle maker, then top with fresh strawberry preserves (warmed) and a light pinch of chopped mint.

Fresh Vegan Smoked Tempeh, Lettuce, Tomato and Avocado Sandwich. With the weather warming, it’s nice to enjoy a sandwich on the lighter side with fresh farm produce. Slice tempeh thin and marinate for 10-15 minutes with soy sauce, brown sugar and liquid smoke. Place on a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat and sprinkle with smoked paprika. If you have a weight plate, place it on top. Grill for 3-5 minutes on each side until you get some nice grill marks. Lightly toast the bread and brush on some vegan mayo. Add lettuce, thick sliced tomatoes and sliced avocado. Season with salt and pepper. Top with grilled tempeh. For our lunch, we’ve made homemade potato chips and pickled our own cucumbers.

Vegan Fennel Saffron Pasta Serves 4. It’s vegan pasta night and this recipe won’t disappoint even your non-vegan family members — full bellies for all. Get started with your favorite penne pasta, Violife Just Like Parmesan wedge, some fresh basil and grilled zucchini. Cook your pasta per the instructions on the box, then drain. Slice 2 zucchini and place in a super hot grill pan on the stove with olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill until done, approximately 10-15 minutes. Now for your pasta sauce: Place a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. When hot, add 1 cup thinly sliced fennel, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped red bell pepper, 2 chopped roasted garlic cloves and 1 large seeded and chopped hot house tomato. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring every minute. Deglaze the pan with 2 cups of vegetable broth at room temperature. Add 1 tsp. saffron threads. Continue to cook sauce, reducing liquid by half (to 1 cup). Add your pasta and cook for 2 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Plating: add pasta to plate and 6 grilled zucchini slices. Top with 1 tbsp. grated Violife vegan Parmesan and 1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil.

We have been missing for a bit now and we apologize! This has been a time of figuring out what our new normal looks like. We still are busy in the kitchen! We have been getting a weekly farm box and then planning meals around what we get. This week we will share it all with you! Tonight we used our living lettuce, onion and red pepper to make these amazing lettuce wraps!

These golden beauties are fresh, crunchy and delicious, plus it’s a great home cooking project. Grab some vegetable oil and place about an inch deep in a frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Your oil temperature should be between 350-365 degrees. We like it on the higher side because it gives the potatoes that nice dark golden brown — very flavorful too. Place your mandoline setting on the lowest, about 1/16. Peel 2 large Russet potatoes and slice in half. Slice into chips on your mandoline. Using a kitchen towel, press your potato chips to release the watery starch. Place about 10 slices in your oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes. Sometimes it’s necessary to flip the chips in the oil halfway through the frying process. Remove from the oil and place on a dry kitchen towel. Salt with regular or truffle salt.

Delicious vegan pizza with pantry and fridge items. Roasted garlic goes great on a homemade pizza. Just follow the instructions in our previous post. Make your favorite pizza crust recipe using your Kitchen Aid mixer. We use 1 packet of yeast and 3/4 cup warm water. Blend and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1.5 tsp sugar and 2 cups bread flour. Combine in Kitchen Aid mixer using the dough attachment on speed 2 for 5 minutes or until the dough has cleaned the sides of the bowl and has been kneaded for 2 minutes. Cover and let rise for 45-60 minutes. Punch down and allow to rest another 15 minutes. Roll out a single-serve pizza using extra flour as needed to prevent sticking. (Should make 4 pizza crusts.) In a large nonstick saucepan on the stove over medium heat, grease with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. When the oil is hot, place a raw pizza crust in the pan and allow to cook 2-3 minutes per side or until fully cooked and slightly browned in places. Slice your vegetables and place on a sheet pan (we used eggplant, zucchini, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions). Olive oil and salt and pepper your veggies. Place in a preheated 400-degree oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Smear pizza crust with approximately 1/2 cup of your favorite hummus. Top with cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic and the rest of your cooked veggies. Put pizza on a sheet pan and place 6 inches from your broiler in the oven and broil on high for 3-5 minutes or until the edges of the pizza crust turn brown. Top pizza with fresh sliced basil, slice and serve. #meatorvegan #vegan #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganlife #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #eatclean #cleaneating #foodie #instagood #foodpic #eat #veganpizza #veganpizzagram #roastedveggies #dfwvegan #dfwvegans #dallasvegan #pizza #plantbasedrecipes #pizzarecipe #pizzarecipes #homemadepizza #veggiepizza https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DQVY0J6GB/?igshid=1gfpqtng0v8k
