Shiitake Mushroom Bacon

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.

Mung Bean Eggs UPDATED

It took some time to get this egg substitute recipe correct, but I am really happy with the results. This recipe is also significantly more cost effective than the store bought liquid vegan egg substitutes. Feel free to season this as you wish. Add in some veggies if you wish. I also have a Stuffed Breakfast Burrito recipe that uses this egg substitute recipe + my Shiitake Bacon recipe. Check those out if you are up for a hearty breakfast at home. TIP: Use a good non-stick pan for best results. I UPDATED this recipe in March 2024 - reducing the number of ingredients and improving upon the texture, cook time, and foldability of the eggs. Hope you enjoy!

Matcha Sunrise Smoothie

Recently, I have been drinking a lot more matcha, so I figured I could just throw it in my morning post-workout shake. I had no idea it would be so delicious, but it tastes great without any added sugar. Hope you also enjoy!

Sweet Potato Waffle Sandwich

This sandwich is a spin-off of a top selling sandwich we sold at our café, Spoiled Vegans. Feel free to make the ingredients from scratch or speed up the process by using your favorite store-bought plant-based alternatives for the bacon and egg. The waffles are also delicious by themselves.

Harissa Sweet Potato Chorizo Skillet Hash

I originally made this recipe while camping, and I must say, if you can make this over a campfire....I highly recommend it. But if you can't, this is still a great stovetop meal for home. If you would prefer not to eat this with chorizo, you can try one of my mushroom meat recipes and break it into grounds in the food processor, as a delicious alternative.

Walnut Sausage Waffle Sandwich

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, the "McSpoil". I updated another recipe of mine, the Walnut Breakfast Sausage, to improve the texture a bit. This one is FIRE stacked with a vegan egg and sauteed kale in between two waffles. Check the Vibes!

Date Syrup

This easy recipe is so good, but you will need to start it the day before you need it. If you have the patience to try this, you probably won't ever buy date syrup from the store again. To successfully make this recipe, I recommend using a fine mesh stainless steal strainer.
