I grew up on dishes that consisted of beans and rice as staple ingredients, but the beans and rice in Costa Rica hits different. Gallo Pinto consists of beans, rice, onions, spices, and herbs. Another crucial ingredient for Costa Rican vibes is Lizano Salsa. We became very familiar with this dish while visiting Costa Rica and wanted to make it at home. My recipe below is not authentic, but it tastes amazing!

This is a take on a fish sandwich that has a crispy batter and the perfect amount of crunch!

In my younger years, and before my vegan journey, I spent far too many nights partying in Palm Springs, only to find myself grabbing a Big Chicken Sandwich at Jack In The Box. I wanted to remake that sandwich, but of course, vegan and even better than I remember. This recipe will blow your mind! Get ready.

We are celebrating National Fried Chicken Day and I wanted to create something delicious that we vegans can rock with. This Peach Chipotle Fried Oyster Mushroom is straight fire with a sweet, smoky, spicy, savory, and crispy bite. I used spelt flour for this batter and added some extra heat to the wet batter by adding blended chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Enjoy these nuggets alone or in a wrap with some fresh veggies and chipotle sauce!

When I originally made this recipe, it was fall and I was in the Halloween spirit. I made these pockets in a skull shaped baking tin and they were a big hit on social media. I have this tin in my Amazon store, but you could bake these in any pizza pocket tin.

These delicious raw jicama tacos will help you not miss cooking food as much when you are on your raw vegan game. Jicama shells add a nice crisp and twist to a dish we eat often. I used olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to help soften up the Jicama so they would not snap in half when you bend them for the tacos. The sunflower dip was my replacement for refried beans, and I made tasty walnut crumbles to top the tacos off. The tacos were complete once I added the chipotle lime sauce.
