Tofu has more protein than eggs, no cholesterol, takes half the amount of water to produce and soy beans are one of the most sustainable and productive crops there are which, like all legumes, also happen to fertilize the soil around them. The list of the great qualities of a tofu scramble is a long…
Cultured Cashew Cream Cheese
I’ve been meaning to post this for a long, long time! This cream cheese is totally superior the dairy version (and I challenge any omnivore that is hesitant to believe that to eat a buttery, whole raw cashew and then try a sip of milk. Which one do you think would lend itself better to…
Buffalo Cauliflower (gluten and oil free!)
This recipe has taken over my life! My dinners have been built around this buffalo cauliflower most nights of the week the last few months and, after the first time I made it, I could think of little else food-wise. Yeah I’m obsessed but it’s very deserved. A serving of it is slightly over 300…
Mushroom Barbacoa Burritos
If you follow me on insta, you know I’m completely obsessed with cassava flour tortillas. They’re a far better texture and stretch for burritos than standard wheat flour tortillas and are also nutty, slightly sweet and bitter and super beneficial to gut health. Getting them burrito sized takes a lot of skill and a little…
Rose Berry Kombucha
This is without a doubt both mine and my lover’s favorite kombucha either of us have had (and after brewing it for ~7 years and trying almost everything available in stores, that is really saying something). It’s similar to a familiar rose berry flavored kombucha but brewed with hibiscus from the start instead of tea,…
Instant Pot Jackfruit and Barley Stew
This jackfruit and barley stew is super familiar despite being made with some less common ingredients. I season and roast the jackfruit before adding it to the rest of the stew, allowing it to slightly caramelize and soak up the flavors of the broth better. It has over half the daily recommended amount of fiber…
Freshly Ground Savory Oatmeal (oil free!)
This recipe and I go way back; a bowl of savory, freshly ground whole oat groats has been my favorite snack for years. It takes only 3 minutes to make, is cheap and comforting as hell , full of fiber (aka fuel for your gut bacteria) and oats are also one of the most sustainable…
Spice Crusted Butternut Squash and Yogurt Sauce over Barley Salad
This is one of my all-time favorite things to make, especially for parties since it serves a ton of people and is good hot or cold (and every temperature in between). If you’ve eaten food at my house before, there’s a bigbig chance you’ve had this. It’s quick to make, stores and reheats well as…
Hashbrowns with Sauerkraut and Cashew Sour Cream
This has been on my to-post list since the beginning of Dear Guts. I just removed my previous cashew sour cream post from 6 years ago (cultured with apple cider vinegar cuz I was literally still a baby with lots to learn) because this one here is the one cashew sour cream recipe to rule…
Vegan Potato au Gratin
I originally took these pics for an upcoming post on my go-to cheese but this vegan potato au gratin definitely deserves a post! It’s everything you’d expect from a dairy-laden potato au gratin and is, really, as creamy as physically possible due to the vegan half and half made from one part silken tofu and…
Hibiscus Kombucha Smoothie
A recipe for a smoothie may seem a little unnecessary, but my main objective here is to shine a light on all the wonders that is hibiscus kombucha. I’ve been brewing kombucha for the better half of a decade now and drinking respectable quantities of straight hibiscus tea all the while, but it wasn’t until…
Vegan Mapo Tofu with Ground Lentils
This vegan mapo tofu is the second installment in the series of posts where I use the Absolutely Perfect Lentil Loaf in other dishes (the first post can be found here: Lentil Meatball Subs). I think it’s important to show off how versatile this can be because it’s so easy to make in bulk, freezes…
