The Best-Ever Vegan Burger

Vegan burger with bun, cheese, tomato, lettuce & onion.

We know you’ve probably read tons of articles that boast the “best” vegan burger recipe. We’ve tried many veggie burger recipes, however, with most homemade veggie burger recipes we find it a challenge to get the right consistency. Often times the burgers are too mushy, too dry, or fall apart when you bite into them. This recipe from Tasty lives up to expectations. It’s everything we want in a veggie burger and more! Try it and see for yourself.

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Vegan Cinnamon rolls with spread.

Our favorite vegan cinnamon roll recipe comes from Love and Lemons.  When we’re craving cinnamon rolls, it’s because we’re craving that ooey-gooey sugary dough ball of decadence. Do we have your mouth watering yet? Do your taste buds a favor and check out this recipe!

Vegan Mac and Cheese

What we love about plant-based mac and cheese recipes is that they are packed with good-for-you ingredients, so you get the same amount of love without all the guilt! Enjoy!
