A while back I was asked to be part of the Golden Recipe program on Pinterest TV. The objective was to make a recipe that reminded me of my past. For the Golden Recipe, I chose to make a vegan version of country-fried steak. That recipe was pretty good, but this recipe takes it to a whole other level. I figured out the perfect crunchy batter and the Lion's Mane steak makes for a wonderful texture and chew. Hope you enjoy!

Split Pea soup is one of those recipes that takes me down memory lane. My pops and I have never had a tight relationship, but he knows how to make bomb split pea soup. Here is my twist on his recipe with a Caribbean vibe. I added coconut cream, habanero pepper, lime, fresh cilantro, and toasted coconut. Keep this on heavy rotation during the Fall and Winter; it will keep you warm and full all season. Peace

Before my vegan journey, my son and I frequented Panda Express for the Honey Walnut Shrimp. This was also back when I didn't know how to cook, so picking up food was the vibe. I was never a fan of the texture of shrimp, but I liked this dish because of the sweet sauce and the crunchy walnuts. Making this with Lion's Mane fixed the texture problem, so I can enjoy one of my old time favorites again!

Recently, I have been incorporating new foods into my diet and one of those foods is jicama. Long gone are the days of only eating jicama with a dash of tajin. We have elevated this root veggie to new heights with these mango cashew sauced noodles. The fact that this dish is also raw vegan is just a bonus. Hope you enjoy!

I love food that is flavorful and has the right texture. I also love creating mushroom meat to use in many different ways. Even when I am out camping, I still can make something delicious, like this Mushroom Cheesesteak Sando. I took the recipe for my Mushroom Roast Beef and changed a few things. I used Shimeji mushrooms instead of Baby Bella mushrooms. I chopped up the Roast Beef and cooked it with purple bell peppers and onions. I added some vegan provolone cheese and a masterpiece was born.

Macadamia nuts might replace some of my cashew cheese recipes for a couple of reasons: the color stays white and they are very creamy! I used ground mustard seed in the cheese to add some tanginess, and white miso to add that fermented Swiss cheese flavor and depth. Check out the recipe below!

I don't know what it is about burritos, but man.... I love a good stuffed burrito. This one definitely doesn't disappoint. The fried chimichanga-style tortilla shell makes it even better and gives it the perfect crunch.

This recipe started my entire journey with Lion's Mane Mushroom, which has since become a staple ingredient in my kitchen. If you like, you can swap wheat flour for spelt flour. I love the additional nutty, sweet flavor that the spelt flour gives the skrimpz. It also has a great texture after it is fried. If you are interested in trying any of my Lion's Mane recipes, but you aren't sure where to find it, check out your local farmer's markets or specialty grocery stores. You can also grow Lion's Mane Mushroom at home. I recommend using North Spore for grow kits and tips for beginner growers. Enjoy!
