Vegan Tartar Sauce

Image
Vegan Tartar Sauce I'm one of those people who love Tartar Sauce. It could be because the only tartar sauce I've eaten is my mom's homemade (albeit very simple) super chunky Sauce. I remember her baking some fish sticks and whipping up her simple Tartar Sauce and enjoying a quick snack, just her and I. Maybe that's why I just had to share this quick and simple recipe for you guys... because, ya know, memories. Some of you may think I am coping out and I just need to post something as it's been a few days. And well.. your not completely wrong. But I also REALLY FREAKING LOVE TARTAR SAUCE OK?!  I'm weird... I am aware. It's a fact I have dealt with and accepted.  Now feast your eyes on my picture that took way too long to compile to make it *Pinterest Worthy* Obviously there is some room for picture editing growth... but I'm proud. It's definitely better than my other pictures, so slowly but surely getting the...

Vegan Alfredo

Vegan Alfredo I absolutely love pasta. I love it so much that I have to force myself to make something else for dinner because I am totally satisfied with making pasta every night.  Last night I was not able to fight down my inner pasta demon. Alfredo pasta won, and I won too (so it's a draw?) because I made such a creamy sauce that I should be crowned! 😂 So I've seen in a few places that tofu has been used as a cream based sauce. And at first I was unsure of how it would taste. It just so happened that everything in my cupboards and fridge were front and center just for this. It's like they planned it themselves for me to make it! So here it is, in it's very infant form... Alfredo sauce! If you find anything to make it better, don't be afraid to tell me! This was just me throwing things inside, so it is a great place to start! Do you see how creamy it is? ♡♡ Ingredients: 1 Block of tofu (I used firm, as it was all I had...

Vegan Pho

Vegan Pho When I moved back to California, I was introduced to Pho by my husband's cousin. And boy did I fall hard! I mean, it has this amazing broth over these delectable rice noodles, and comes in many options. What is there not to love? Since becoming vegan, we never go out to eat anymore. Half of it is due to finances, and the other half is because I am honestly scared of going out and being fed something that is indeed not vegan. So my solution has been to stay at home, research and try to make my own vegan cost-friendly options! And it has been working! -so far- (makes enough for 4 servings) Ingredients:  2 Star Anise 4 Cloves A pinch of red chili pepper flakes 1 6 inch piece of Ginger (halved) 1/2 of a yellow onion (halved) 2 teaspoons light brown sugar (or rock sugar, found at many asian markets) 2 tablespoons salt (more or less to your liking) 1 cube of Vegetable Bouillon 7 button mushrooms (sliced) 2 medium sized carrot...
