Prepgreen Introduces The Sunday Six

Sara — Sun, 28 Aug 2016 17:32:09 +0000

Did you know that even someone who’s a trained chef with a vegan food blog and thousands of followers can have trouble getting a healthy dinner on the table? It’s not something I would have guessed, but now that I’ve experienced it, I understand why. Like you, I have countless obligations – work, projects, travel,...

Almond Miso Green Beans

Sara — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 00:28:59 +0000

Green beans with almonds is a traditional combination I return to again and again. Here I created a satisfying but simple version with a rich almond butter sauce. This easy vegetable side dish is ready in less than 15 minutes. You just steam green beans and mix the nut butter sauce ingredients in a bowl. Then toss the beans with the sauce...

Why I’m Crazy About Make-Ahead Meals

Sara — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 16:13:02 +0000

You may think of creating make-ahead meals as a kind of cold weather activity. Perhaps you already store big batches of wintry soups or chilis for later. To me, there’s something satisfying about a freezer full of homemade food. But in summer, I don’t always feel drawn to the kitchen. Surely I have something better...

Vegan Alfredo with Roasted Red Peppers

Sara — Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:12:46 +0000

Raw cashews, which add creaminess to sauces, soups, dressings and non-dairy cheeses, form the base of this easy vegan alfredo recipe. Alfredo is traditionally an Italian-American cream-based sauce. Instead of dairy, cashews serve as a blank slate for you to add flavorings. While you can make a white alfredo sauce with cashews and a few spices, I...

Resources for Make Ahead Meals

Sara — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 16:38:09 +0000

Over the last couple months, I’ve been creating a new program to develop make ahead meals called…prepgreen. The goal is to help you create easy, vegan, gluten-free, make-ahead meals once per week. The idea for prepgreen came from a few things… First, I’ve been hearing from many of you that you don’t have much time to...

Grilled Chipotle Hummus Sandwich

Sara — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 19:15:36 +0000

Truth be told, I’m not a huge sandwich person. But this is one of my favorites as it combines three simple ingredients: caramelized onions, chipotle hummus and avocado. Sautéed on the stovetop until hot and melty, it’s better than any grilled cheese I can remember. Caramelized onions are one of the most underrated ingredients. To...

New Vegan Cookbook Finds

Sara — Mon, 30 May 2016 15:37:09 +0000

I can’t help but be a little disappointed with most cookbooks. Full of glossy photos and potentially delicious meals, I know that in reality, I won’t be making the majority of their recipes. There are reasons for this. First, it’s because most of the time, I have a few things I make over and over,...

Vegan Tortilla Soup

Sara — Sat, 07 May 2016 18:29:28 +0000

This shortcut version of tortilla soup relies on plenty of spices and canned fire-roasted tomatoes for a kick. Red beans, corn and some diced avocado turn it into a hearty meal. Sure, traditional versions of this flavorful soup involve deep frying tortilla strips, but high-quality tortilla chips work just fine. Vegan Tortilla Soup Print Prep...
