Bright, sunny days and lots of playtime outside—summer has arrived and we are soaking up every moment. Over here at The Little Veggie Kitchen, our days are filled with big walks around the neighborhood, sticky orange juice popsicles, library kid events, and swimming lessons. So with all these fun summer activities, I’m taking a brief…

Soyrizo Avocado Grilled Cheeze
Yes, this is a totally vegan sandwich—and it rocks! I drew some inspiration from a chorizo avocado grilled cheese recipe that I stumbled on a while ago and thought, “Hey, I bet I can make this recipe vegan and gluten-free.” And you know what, it’s incredible! Spicy soyrizo and creamy avocado banded by a slice…
Power Up Granola Bars
These Power Up Granola Bars are a chewy, sweet way to boost your energy. A mighty combination of oats, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and a handful of chocolate chips make these bars a healthy, vegan, gluten-free snack for any age. I eat them when I need a quick post-run snack, I…
Sloppy Lentils
Not quite a sloppy joe by my standards, but nonetheless this recipe is a tasty, easy variation of the classic, messy dinner. I stumbled on Minimalist Baker’s Vegan Sloppy Joe recipe after I realized that I was missing a few ingredients for my Soyrizo Sloppy Joes—I was determined to make something sloppy for dinner that…
Homestyle Vegan Loaf
If you’re anything like me, you may be one of those vegans who miss the classic comfort food recipes from your childhood. I have happy memories of meatloaf night, watching my mom mix up the ingredients and breathing in the onion, worcestershire sauce, ground mustard-infused aromas that signify this captivating meal. With a little help from…
Mushroom Burgundy
Tender mushrooms, carrots, onion, and red wine simmering in a Dutch oven—that’s the aroma of old-world comfort food. This vegan Mushroom Burgundy recipe by Veganosity is a dead ringer for the traditional beef Burgundy you may have grown up with, and it’s absolutely mouth-watering. Beef Burgundy (or beef bourguignon) originates from the Burgundy region in…
Pancakes for Everyone
Vegan, gluten-free pancakes that taste like french toast? YES PLEASE! Last weekend I whipped up a double batch of MOMables Allergy-Friendly Pancakes and they didn’t last long. The consistency and cinnamon flavor of these pancakes remind me more of french toast, which I haven’t had in years. These pancakes transported me back to a time when…
Legendary Guacamole Burritos
Creamy smashed avocados, balsamic roasted tomatoes with garlic, black beans, and a scoop of white rice—a basic blend of ingredients for one remarkable burrito. This recipe was created by Savory Tooth and it has become tradition in my house. I follow the recipe, except I wrap my burritos in gluten-free tortillas and add a scoop…
Feel Better Miso Soup
Does your little one have a runny nose and cough? Warm miso soup with tofu soothes a sore throat and helps hydrate your sniffling kiddo, and the white rice and broccoli are easy on the tummy. It’s a fast dinner to get on the table, which is a lifesaver when your kids aren’t feeling well…
Vegan Jambalaya
Onion, celery, and green bell pepper—the “holy trinity” in Creole and Cajun cooking and the foundation for jambalaya. I had never attempted a jambalaya recipe until I stumbled on Life as a Strawberry’s Vegan Jambalaya. Honestly, I didn’t think that jambalaya could be veganized, but lo and behold, this version is wholesome, chock full of veggies,…
