Vegan mac and cheese, vegan crab cakes, and more!
January 18, 2024
Leaning into the vegan this week and WOW we’ve got some good ones for you. Vegan crab cakes might sound odd, but they are based on some I had at a restaurant in Philly where I immediately made everyone try a bite. And vegan mac and cheese…let’s just say our whole family gobbles this up, including the baby. Enjoy these tasty treats this week!
OK hear us out. These taste aaaamazing: crisp and golden, served with a tangy creamy tartar sauce. They are so simple and basically chickpea artichoke fritters, but they taste like crab cakes!
As I mentioned above, I had a dish like this in Philly and they were so delicious I made everyone at the table try them! I’m so happy this recreation tastes like how I remember the original.
We haven’t had a great vegan mac and cheese recipe…until now! This rendition explodes with creamy decadence using whole food ingredients like cashews, sweet potato, and canned artichokes to make a cheesy sauce that is just as satisfying as the real thing!
It seems mind blowing (again!) but it really does taste like creamy with no dairy. Our kids absolutely love this one and everyone eats heaping bowls.
Another fun new recipe that’s accidentally vegan, this one is SO delicious and the perfect use for a ripe banana! Use mashed banana instead of egg to make a sweet custard mixture for dipping sourdough bread. Each bite is sweetly banana-scented without being too decadent!
Maybe it sounds funny to share an iced coffee recipe in these chilly temps. But I (Sonja) drink cold brew every day, so we wanted to share this fun way to mix it up! This tasty drink mixes a homemade vanilla syrup with your milk of choice and cold brew to make a concoction that’s perfect for dreaming of warmer weather to come.
Make it at home and you can customize the syrup level to taste! For vegan, our milk of choice for coffee is oat milk.
