Give yourself some time for this recipe and you will not regret it! This recipe takes time, but it doesn't take much effort. You can essentially set it and forget it. Get this started at night and you will wake up to a delicious plant-based meat alternative in the morning. I specifically didn't season this "meat", because I wanted to give you the freedom to incorporate it into any dish. Be creative and enjoy!

This recipe is a game changer and is a little more accessible for those who cannot find Lion's Mane mushroom in their area. It takes a little work to knead the gluten, but it is totally worth it! Slice this up for a delicious sandwich or grind it in a food processor for a ground beef substitute.

As some of you may know, I was the co-owner of a vegan breakfast café called Spoiled Vegans. This recipe is inspired by a sandwich we served there. This recipe was also in my 2nd e-book, "It's All About the Walnuts".

In my No Butcher Needed Meat series, this is another versatile mushroom meat that can be used in a bunch of recipes. Because of the maple syrup, I love to pair this with breakfast foods, but it can be incorporated into cold cut sandwiches or dinner recipes that call for sweet sausages. Hope you enjoy the vibes!

It took me a long time to appreciate jackfruit, but now that I figured out the best ways to cook it, I truly enjoy using jackfruit as a meat substitute.

I love how meaty shiitake mushrooms taste! They provide the perfect amount of umami to a dish. If you haven't ever given them a try, this is a perfect first recipe . It is simple and can be eaten by itself or with a lot of my other recipes. I especially love this in my Stuffed Breakfast Burrito recipe with Mung Bean Scrambled Eggs. If you are looking for a hearty breakfast and you have a little time to cook, I highly recommend planning to make the burrito.

This Jalapeno Chili Mac & Cheese is so good, we ate this two days in a row. If you don't have the time to make this with my Lion's Mane Mushroom Grounds, feel free to use a store-bought plant-based ground. You can also experiment with walnut meat, if you prefer. I don't know who else used to get down with Hamburger Helper, but I most definitely did. This is one of my favorite childhood meals to recreate vegan. Hope you enjoy!

I want to introduce different methods to create vegan meat substitutes. I don't know why I didn't create this sooner. Lion's mane mushroom & turnips! Well, I do go by Turnip, so I should make more turnip recipes. The texture of this recipe isn't as meaty as some of my other meat substitutes, but the flavor and ingredients are really delicious. This recipe makes about 3-4 servings. You can use this Adobo-Style Lion's Mane & Turnip Grounds as a filling for tacos and burritos or a topping for nachos, pizza, or bowls.

I love chili crisp so much! It has become a staple in a lot of my recipes. It is also called chili crunch. I am sure this can be made at home, but you can purchase a version of this by brands such as Trader Joe's, Momofuku, and Fly By Jing. I have even found store brand versions of chili crisp at chain grocery stores like Ralphs and Vons. Paired with the crispy oyster mushrooms, you are in for a flavorful treat! This recipe calls for chili crisp to taste, so you'll have to gauge your preferred spice level. You could also leave the chili crisp out of the wet batter and use it as a sauce after frying the mushrooms.

I found myself yearning for some Caribbean vibes 🏝️, so I decided to smoke some Lion's Mane mushrooms 🍄. I bathed them in my Spicy Pineapple Marinade 🌶️🍍 that doubles as a fantastic sauce. When smoking Lion's Mane, patience is key 🕰️ - it's all about allowing the flavors to fully infuse the mushroom. It made me happy to know I was making this with the intention of dropping off some to my mom for Mother's Day!

This recipe uses my Mushroom "Beef" Grounds and a store bought sloppy joe sauce for simplicity. We stacked up our sandwiches on pretzel buns, but feel free to use any bread you wish. Additionally, we used cashew cheese, but you can melt down your favorite vegan cheddar cheese. Hope you enjoy these grounds and the nostalgia of eating a sloppy joe.

For the Recipe Club, it was very important to me to provide the club members with a lot of easy-to-make, no butcher needed meats. This pepperoni is a special one! I hope you enjoy.
