Vegan Buffalo Sauce Recipe. I love hot sauce.

Like, really love hot sauce. I put that sh*t on everything! The only thing better than hot sauce is homemade hot sauce, or in this case good ol’ fashioned buffalo sauce; with a vegan twist.

Vegan Sloppy Joes. How have I never shared my recipe for vegan sloppy joes?

My family hails from right down the road from the birthplace of these messy sandwiches, Sioux City, Iowa, so this is a food I grew up eating in massive quantities. Although sloppy joes are pretty ubiquitous and everyone does them a little differently, this recipe yields sandwiches that taste just like those I ate as a kid. I know there are a lot of recipes for lentil-based sloppy joes out there, but for me, TVP more closely approximates the taste and texture of the sandwiches I ate growing up. I really love lentils, but I would seriously never try feeding anything short of TVP to an omnivore. If you aren’t already familiar, sloppy joes are usually made with copious amounts of ketchup and seasoned with bottled mustard.

On that note, please feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking! Naturally Fermented Dill Pickles. Welcome!

If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, increase energy levels or just generally look and feel healthier you've come to the right place. Vegan Brown Rice Pudding Recipe. Homemade Vegan Kimchi. Seitan. I may get a ton of email asking me questions about how to best prepare tofu, but it’s nothing compared to the number of people who write with questions and frustrations about making homemade seitan.

Seitan (pronounced say-tan), also known as “wheat meat” or gluten is one of people’s favorite vegan meats. It’s extremely versatile – it can be made with a multitude of flavors and textures. Seitan can be made to taste similar to beef, pork or chicken; the texture can be soft like pot roast or as firm as a cutlet or steak. Seitan is a great source of protein and is low in calories. How to Make Sauerkraut: The Basics. Making your own sauerkraut or "raw cultured vegetables" is a great skill to have if you’ve adopted this fermented food as a frequently eaten condiment.

Here we will share two delicious beginner recipes for those of you, like us, who prefer the benefits of homemade versions over store bought varieties. Vegan Pad Thai. Vegan Japanese Curry. Ever since I got back from our last trip I’ve been working on perfecting one of my favorite dishes. My Japanese Curry recipe has always been a favorite, but with winter upon us and squash season in full swing I decided to make an alteration and replace potatoes with kabocha squash. With the sweet and fluffy kabocha squash, this Japanese curry has been a huge hit this season. I’ve also omitted a few ingredients to make this an even easier curry dish! Gluten-free option is available by using gluten-free tamari and sweet rice flour instead of soy sauce and flour.

Kombucha Bottling Recipes. With clean hands, reach into your brewing jar and remove your culture(s). Place in a glass container with enough Kombucha to cover the culture (usually at least one cup - this will be your starter tea for your next batch.) Cover with a cotton cloth and set aside until you are ready to brew again. Your culture can sit at room temperature in between brewing for up to 4 weeks.Using glass bottles with tight fitting lids (check out our TKS Swing Tops in the SHOP!) Add your favorite flavorings to your bottles.

We recommend a 1:5 ratio fruit or juice to Kombucha. TIP: If you are reusing store bought kombucha bottles or mason jars, we recommend placing a piece of parchment paper underneath the lid to help make a tighter seal. Coconut Kefir. This is a non-dairy coconut kefir recipe that we enjoy as an alternative to dairy and milk products. Although kefir is traditionally made from cow or goat's milk, in the early 2,000's people started making it from coconuts and it has become a worldwide vegan health drink ever since. Coconut kefir, when made from the water and meat of the young Thai coconut, is a soured, thick, pourable yogurt-like beverage packed with beneficial microflora provided by the kefir grains or culture starter. Most always these species include Lactobacillus bacteria as well as other highly complex strains excellent for improving intestinal strength, endocrine function and greater immunity against pathogens.

Garbanzo Bean Tempeh. There is nothing like a fresh homemade tempeh recipe to make you realize what you've been missing! In our opinion, cultured tempeh made in your own kitchen doesn't even compare to the rubbery, bland, frozen store-bought varieties available in many health food markets. The rich "mushroomy" taste of the homemade version is really the only tempeh worth eating. In fact, it is often so good that you don't even need to prepare it with sauces or marinades.

Although soybeans are traditionally used to make Indonesian-style tempeh, the best part about making it yourself is that you get to use any bean you want, not just soybean. Over time, you will discover your favorite legumes and combination's. Thick and Creamy Mexican Atole. Atole is an ancient corn based drink that was enjoyed by the Mayan’s and Aztecs. I first read about Atole when I was twelve, and doing a school project on the Mayan empire, and at the time I thought: “Gross!

There are many versions of this drink, I will share with you a spiced chocolate variation. Others include, cinnamon, plain, or with pureed fruits. Easy Baked Doughnuts.
