Lion's Mane Loaded Nachos

I love nachos as a go-to quick meal and these do not disappoint. This recipe was originally a collaboration with Mylkdog Notcho Cheez, but you can use any vegan cheese you prefer. I have a cashew chipotle nacho cheese recipe that would go well with these nachos. You can find that recipe under Loaded Waffle Fries w/ Chipotle Cheese Sauce.

Banh Mi Chalupa

Let's reimagine food together with purpose. I've taken one of my favorite sandwiches, added chalupa shells, and combined it with one of my favorite meat replacements, adding an old-school twist. I've revamped my mushroom meat for this recipe, infusing Banh Mi flavors into it and preparing it differently. This time, I blended all the wet ingredients with the mushrooms, improving both texture and appearance. This one's another banger!

Afternoon Vibes

Walnut Lettuce Wraps with Orange Cashew Sauce

I am wrapping up my 3-day raw vegan reset. These tacos helped me fly past day two with no stress. These basic tacos will satisfy you on your raw vegan days with no problem. The Orange Bell Pepper Cashew Sauce is out of this world. So much flavor and creamy. No need for vegan mayo for this recipe. Tomorrow I am back to eating cooked food, but I will be making these again next month we do our next raw vegan reset.

BBQ Mushroom & Jackfruit Ribs

I’ve been making plant-based ribs for over three years but could never get the texture just right. The end result was either too chewy or not chewy enough. I’ve finally cracked the code with the combo of jackfruit and pink oysters. It’s time to get the grills out and unleash the smoky flavors all spring/summer.

Crispy Buffalo Mushroom Wrap

I have been growing mushrooms at home for some time now and I just harvested a HUGE flush of blue oyster mushrooms. If you can't get your hands on blue oyster mushrooms, any oyster mushroom will work for this recipe. I hope you enjoy! As always, if you have any questions about growing mushrooms at home, please reach out to us via email at turnipvegan@gmail.com

Italian Oyster Mushroom Teriyaki Bowl

As you may know, I grow a few mushrooms at home & one day I came home to a HUGE flush of Italian Oyster Mushrooms (1.5 pounds!). So, you know I had to whip up something fire! It's been a while since I made a hearty bowl & I was inspired to make homemade teriyaki sauce after seeing the price tags & ingredients on the store bought options. This recipe can be made with any oyster mushrooms. This is a great meal-prep option too.
