For those that do not already know, I was born in the suburbs of Chicago, so I have a natural affinity for hot dogs and sausages. But now, I only get down with the vegan versions. This sausage seemed like the next progression in my mushroom meat creations. I made a few changes to my chipotle sausage recipe and it’s even better than before. I wanted to see how the sausage would cook with shiitake mushrooms instead of lion's mane, and I am very pleased with the results. I also changed the process to create a more consistent texture when you bite. These sausages came out fire! Check out some grilling hacks I used to make this recipe: Use a smoker box or smoker to infuse flavors like cherry, apple, or hickory wood. Use your marinade throughout all steps. You can use it to marinate the sausage and then again to baste the food while cooking. When you are done cooking, add the sausages back to the remainder of the marinade until you are ready to eat. Spritz water around the food while cooking to keep the sausages juicy until it's time to enjoy.

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!

Are you looking for something spicy, sweet, savory, and crunchy? This recipe provides all that and more! I paired these delicious maple sriracha golden oyster mushrooms with green onion pancakes, and a masterpiece was born. Enjoy!

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 have a few fried rice recipes that I really enjoy and this is one of them. It is sweet and savory and buttery delicious. Feel free to swap out the jackfruit for tofu, mushrooms, or your favorite vegan chik'n. I think all of those options would work well. Get your wok ready!

I love remaking southern classics with a vegan twist and this simple red beans and rice does not disappoint. If you are from New Orleans, don't be too hard on me. I've never had the pleasure of trying New Orleans Red Beans & Rice.
