Maple Walnut Lion's Mane Skrimpz

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!

Curry Coconut Shiitake Meatball Sandwich

It is harvesting time and we are back with another dope recipe using mushrooms I grew at home with a North Spore Fruiting Block Kit and Boom Room. This was a nice flush with close to 1.3 pounds of shiitake mushrooms. It takes about 1-2 months to get the shiitake bag ready to start fruiting, but North Spore makes it easier and faster to grow at home. It took about 10-11 days to grow once I took the fruiting block out of its bag. Because it grows outside of the bag, it’s best to grow in a tent or fruiting chamber to prevent contamination. I chose shiitake mushrooms for this recipe because shiitake is very meaty and has a delicious umami flavor. This recipe takes some work, but at the end of the day, it's incredible to go from harvest to table right at home.

Spicy Tamarind Lion's Mane Skrimpz

I have had so much fun creating new flavor combinations for my Lion's Mane Skrimpz! Once you make the skrimpz, you can toss them or dip them in so many different sauces. This one is a sweet & savory option that pairs perfectly with nutty black rice. Hope you enjoy!

Creamy Split Pea Coconut Soup

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

Lion's Mane No-Crab Cakes

Before I started cooking with Lion's Mane & getting creative in the kitchen, the only Lion's Mane mushroom recipe I could find was for "crab cakes". Thankfully we have progressed, but you know I had to whip up a crab cake recipe as well. Enjoy!

Rasta Pasta w/ Jerk Jackfruit

This has to be one of my favorite pasta dishes! Don't tell anyone.... but I don't really do pasta, so my previous statement indicates how delicious this dish is. Enjoy!

Creamy Green Chile Cannellini Soup

Shiitake mushrooms are meaty and go perfectly with this Creamy Green Chile Cannellini Soup. After harvesting the shiitake mushrooms, I sliced them and let them soak in a flavorful steak marinade. If you are looking for a recipe to keep you warm during the cold winter nights, add this recipe to your rotation.
