Loaded Potato Breakfast Bowl from Vegan Bowl Attack
GUYS. I am so excited to share this book with you. I've been lucky enough to call Jackie - girlboss over at Vegan Yack Attack - a friend for a few years now, and I just love her. She is smart, witty, sassy, fun to drink with and best of all - a fantastic chef! She's pretty easy on the eyes, too. 😉 And so is her new cookbook! Vegan Bowl Attack is packed with more than 100 one-dish, plant-powered meals, and comes in a gorgeous hardcover edition. Jackie combines vegetables, protein, and whole grains in one dish to make simple and delicious meals. And who doesn't love a good bowl? It means less dishes, easier food-mixing on a single fork, and an excuse to slurp up leftovers.
Filled with creative recipes like Peanut Butter Pretzel Oatmeal, Tex Mex Potato Salad, Mean Green Ramen and a S'mores Pudding Bowl, this cookbook is a must-have of the summer for sure. The recipes are well thought out and because Jackie is already a superstar, you know anything you try will turn out perfectly. The accompanying photography is gorgeous, with bright and colorful photographs alongside most of the recipes in the book. I included a few of my faves from the book below - they're all on my must-make list.
First Jackie's Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream, followed by her Smoky Corn Chowder Bread Bowl (which I was luckily enough to try at the cookbook release party) and her Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl. Doesn't that last one sounds PERFECT for fall?!
Lucky for you, even if you don't have a copy yet (they're available wherever books are sold, and also here!) we get to share with you all a favorite from the book - Jackie's Loaded Potato Breakfast Bowl! Scroll down for the recipe, and be sure to grab yourself a copy of Vegan Bowl Attack ASAP!
LOADED POTATO BREAKFAST BOWL
INGREDIENTS For the potato hash: 2 teaspoons coconut oil 1½ pounds (680 g) russet potatoes, chopped 1 cup (160 g) diced white onion 1 cup (180 g) diced tomato ½ cup (75 g) diced red bell pepper Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 cup (20 g) firmly packed arugula For the mushroom gravy: 1½ cups (355 ml) plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml) light coconut milk, divided ½ cup (80 g) diced white onion 2 cloves of garlic, minced ½ cup (35 g) diced baby bella mushrooms 1 tablespoon (8 g) cornstarch 3 tablespoons (12 g) nutritional yeast 1 tablespoon (15 ml) liquid aminos Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Vegan cheese shreds, for topping (optional) DIRECTIONS To make the potato hash: Melt the coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot enough to make water sizzle, put the potatoes in. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Start your gravy now, if you can.) Add the onions to the potatoes, cover, and sauté until the onions become translucent. Lower the heat to medium and then add the tomatoes and bell pepper to the pan. Leave uncovered and sauté until the potatoes are crispy and cooked all the way through. Season the hash with salt and pepper. Wait until right before serving to fold in the arugula, so that it does not become too limp. To make the mushroom gravy: Make the gravy at the same time as the potatoes if you can; I wouldn’t recommend doing it afterward, as the potatoes may get mushy when reheated. Coat a medium saucepan with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Next, add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes and then stir in the garlic. Cook until the onions are almost translucent and then add the mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms have darkened and reduced in size. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the onion-mushroom mixture and stir until everything is coated evenly. Put the contents of the saucepan in a blender or food processor along with the remaining coconut milk, the nutritional yeast, and liquid aminos and pulse a few times for a smoother consistency. Pour the gravy back into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so that the gravy simmers. Stir or whisk every couple of minutes until it reaches the desired thickness and then season with pepper. Divide the potato hash among 4 bowls (don’t forget to fold in the arugula first!) and top with cheese shreds, if using, and the gravy. Serve immediately. Yield: Makes 2 large or 4 small servings.

N'ice Cream Cookbook Giveaway!
If you're a fan of sweet frozen treats - and really, who isn't? - then you need to get your hands on the N'ice Cream cookbook! Bloggers Virpi and Tuulia, the creative forces behind the blogs Vanelja and Tuulia.co, teamed up to create this gorgeous book packed with 80 better-for-you frozen goodies. They were sick of seeing all the crummy ingredients in traditional ice creams and non-dairy frozen treats so they created this cookbook as a 'candy land' of wholesome, vegan recipe alternatives. And with recipes like Apple Avocado Mint Popsicles, Dreamy Chocolate Sundaes and Salted Caramel Milkshakes you'll never miss the old stuff! All of the recipes can be made without an ice cream maker, which I love since I don't own one myself. I also love how simple and healthy all of the ingredients in the book are. No crazy ingredients, just whole, healthy foods blended and frozen to perfection. The best part this book comes out TODAY! Yup, you can find it on store shelves at your local bookstore this afternoon. Or, you can scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and enter for a chance to win a FREE copy for yourself! Either way, enjoy the recipe for the sweet and simple Coconut Sundae with Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce Virpi and Tuulia were kind enough to share with us below.
Coconut Sundae
Ice cream sundaes have a lovely nostalgic vibe, and this quick version of a vanilla sundae is unbelievably easy, yet so creamy. You need only four or five ingredients! Serves 2. INGREDIENTS Ice Cream: 1 (14-ounce/400-ml) can full-fat coconut milk (refrigerated overnight) 2 frozen bananas ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional Peanut Butter–Caramel Sauce 1 tablespoon peanut butter 1 tablespoon maple syrup or other sweetener 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk DIRECTIONS Open the coconut milk can and scoop the thick, solid white cream into a blender. Add the bananas and vanilla and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. Taste and add maple syrup, if desired. To make the peanut butter caramel sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until you get a nice thick caramel sauce. Pour the ice cream into bowls, top with the Peanut Butter–Caramel Sauce, and enjoy! Reprinted by arrangement with Avery Books, a member of Penguin Group (USA) LLC, A Penguin Random House Company.

Minimalist Baker's 'Everyday Cooking' Cookbook Giveaway!
If you're someone who regularly eats vegan and vegetarian food - or really just loves #foodporn on Instagram - you've probably heard of Minimalist Baker, or at least seen her gorgeous food photos. She is an amazing whiz in the kitchen, churning out impressive and brilliantly thought out plant-based and mostly gluten-free recipes. She's a full-time blogger, and she has truly mastered her craft. I absolutely look up to her and adore following along with her fun, lip sync-filled snapchat videos and seeing what creative recipes she churns out next. Dana not only creates great meals, but photographs them all beautifully and updates her blog multiple times a week. I'm always looking to her for weeknight meal inspiration, and this new cookbook is the perfect way to browse through some of her favorite, tried and true recipes. She serves up everything from Pizza Burgers (the cookbook cover photo) to Thai Quinoa Meatballs and Strawberry Cheesecake Bars, and all are made to be easy to make and clean up. And they all look DELICIOUS. Dana's recipes have never let me down, and I can't wait to work my way through the whole book. Plus, a good hardcover cookbook just always feels good in your hands - like its weightiness defines how full of food knowledge it is...which is totally true here. Do yourself a favor and make the BEST Vegan Enchiladas, which Dana so generously shared her recipe for below, and be sure to scroll all the way down to enter to win a copy of Minimalist Baker's Everyday Cooking!
The Best Vegan Enchiladas
The perfect vegan enchiladas had eluded me for years, but this version nails it. Corn tortillas remain tender with slightly crisp edges, a refried bean and poblano filling is hearty and simple, and the homemade enchilada sauce is rich and subtly spiced. Serve these to a crowd, or prepare as a quick and easy weeknight meal. Serves 4 (yields 8 enchiladas) Prep time 15 min. | Cook time 35 min. | Total time 50 min. ENCHILADA SAUCE 1 Tbsp (15ml) grape seed oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil ½ large white onion (75g), diced 3 cloves garlic (1½ Tbsp or 9g), minced 1 15-ounce (425g) can tomato sauce 1 chipotle pepper in adobo (canned), chopped, plus 1 tsp adobo sauce (plus more for taste) ½ cup (120ml) water (or substitute vegetable broth) 1–2 Tbsp (15–30ml) maple syrup (or substitute coconut sugar), plus more to taste Sea salt and black pepper, to taste ENCHILADA FILLING 1 Tbsp (15ml) grape seed oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil ½ large white onion (75g), diced 1 poblano pepper (17g), seeds removed, diced Sea salt and black pepper, to taste 1 15–ounce (425g) can vegetarian refried beans or pinto beans, well drained 8 white or yellow corn tortillas TOPPINGS (optional) Lime juice Red onion, diced Ripe avocado, sliced Cilantro, torn/chopped Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp (15ml) grape seed oil, the onion, and the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 4–5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce (plus more to taste), maple syrup and water. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, covered (to prevent splattering). Transfer the sauce to the bowl of a blender (optional) and blend well. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more adobo sauce for heat, salt for savoriness, and maple syrup for sweetness. Rinse the skillet slightly and place over medium heat to prepare the filling. Also preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Once the skillet is hot, add 1 Tbsp (15ml) grape seed oil, the onion, and the poblano pepper. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent and the pepper has a bit of color, about 3–4 minutes. Add the refried beans and stir/mash to combine. Add ⅓ cup (~90ml) of the enchilada sauce for extra flavor. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Remove from the heat and set aside. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper or cloth towel and microwave to warm for 30 seconds. (Alternatively, place the tortillas directly on the oven rack for 1 minute to heat through.) Pour a bit of sauce into the bottom of 9 × 13–inch (3-quart) baking dish. Spread to coat. Take one corn tortilla and lay it down in the dish. Fill with a modest amount of filling (keeping in mind there needs to be enough for 8–10 tortillas), then roll up the tortilla. Place the seamside down at one end of the dish. Continue until all of the tortillas are filled and wrapped, adding more sauce as needed. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas in a stripe down the middle. Brush/spray the edges with oil for crisp edges (optional). Bake at 350 degrees F (176 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Top with desired toppings and serve. I highly recommend lime juice, red onion, avocado, and cilantro, but these enchiladas are delicious on their own! Leftovers keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though best when fresh. Reheat in a 350 degree F (176 degree C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.

Crossroads: Extraordinary Recipes from the Restaurant That Is Reinventing Vegan Cuisine
by Tal Ronnen, Scot Jones + Serafina Magnussen Those of us lucky to live in LA have made the pilgrimage to Crossroads to try Chef Tal Ronnen's incredible creations, but now EVERYONE can create his masterpieces in their very own kitchens! I LOVE this cookbook. Hands down, my favorite of the year.

Everything looks amazing and all the recipes taste just as good as you'd hope. Our favorite? The Warm Kale + Artichoke Dip.

Cooked Raw: How One Celebrity Chef Risked Everything to Change The Way We Eat
by Matthew Kenney I was lucky enough to meet fellow Mainer and plant-based food pioneer Matthew Kenney at a recent function at his Venice restaurant Plant Food + Wine and he is just as cool and polite in person as a girl could hope. I knew he had created innovative, plant-forward culinary academies in 2 countries, but I had no idea about his past as a mainstream chef in NYC and how he transitioned into cooking and eating the way he does today. It is a great read if you like food, cooking, and reading about badass chefs. Kenney is one of my personal faves, and even more so after reading his story. Grab a copy HERE. |

Thrive Energy Cookbook

Each ingredient has a purpose, and each recipe is designed to merge functionality + taste. It's packed full of great recipes like the Thai Green Curry Rice Bowl and Roasted Red Pepper Sweet Potato Soup, and has some delectable sweet treats, too. This cookbook has great recipes but sometimes requires gear (high speed blenders, juicers, ect.) that not every chef might own, so this book is better suited to the cook very familiar with their kitchen and with plenty of fun tools to work with. You can order your copy of Thrive HERE. |

Going Vegan
by Joni Marie Newman + Gerrie Lynn Adams I have had the pleasure of getting to know Joni recently and she is THE raddest chick. Seriously, if you knew her, you'd want to buy this book just to absorb some of her coolness. But since you probably don't know her, trust me when I say that this lady knows her way around a kitchen. The author of TEN cookbooks, Joni could make a delicious vegan meal out of anything. In this new book she breaks it down in easy-to-conquer, practical recipes for transitioning (and enjoying the transition) into veganism! This would make a great gift for the newbie to the plant-based diet for someone looking for a refresher on some of the very best basics. You can get your copy ON SALE here! |

Makes 4 cups
That retro classic, spinach and artichoke dip laden with cream cheese and sour cream, is transformed into a contemporary version that is still rich and creamy but allows the vegetables to shine. Kale’s chewy texture and peppery kick make it a bold stand-in for spinach. When sautéing the artichokes, take care not to let them brown; you want the dip to keep its beautiful pale color. The cashew cream needs to be prepared a day in advance, so plan accordingly. Serve with Harissa Potato Chips, Lentil Crackers, or raw vegetables, or try putting it on baked potatoes or using it as a filling for stuffed pasta, such as cappellacci (page 197).
8 large artichoke hearts or two 15-ounce cans artichoke hearts in water
2 tablespoons Earth Balance butter stick
2 shallots, minced
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup dry sherry
1 cup Cashew Cream (see note)
1 cup Vegetable Stock or store-bought stock
½ cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
6 cups baby kale, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Smoked paprika, for garnish
1. If using fresh artichoke hearts, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the artichoke hearts and blanch for 10 minutes, or until slightly tender; a paring knife should slide in easily. Drain the hearts and plunge into an ice bath to “shock” them—i.e., stop the cooking and cool them quickly. Drain and coarsely chop. If using canned artichokes, simply drain and chop.
2. Put a large deep sauté pan over medium heat and add the butter substitute. When it has melted, add the shallots, garlic, and artichoke hearts and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Add the wine and sherry and cook for 1 minute to evaporate some of the alcohol. Add the cashew cream, stock, nutritional yeast flakes, and thyme, reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer until thick, 35 to 40 minutes; stir occasionally to make sure the cream mixture doesn’t stick and burn on the bottom of the pan.
4. Fold in the kale a few handfuls at a time and continue to simmer until the kale is soft and the artichokes have broken down slightly, about 10 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. (The dip will keep for up to 3 days covered in the refrigerator. To serve, reheat over medium-low heat, stirring often.)
5. If the dip appears too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of stock or water.
6. Spoon the dip into a serving bowl, dust with smoked paprika, and serve with the potato chips, crackers, or sliced raw vegetables.
Cashew Cream
Makes 3 cups
2 cups whole raw cashews, rinsed
Filtered water
1. Put the cashews in a bowl and pour in enough cold filtered water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 1 day.
2. Drain the cashews in a colander and rinse with cold water. Transfer the cashews to a blender, preferably a Vitamix, and pour in enough cold filtered water to cover them by 1 inch, about 3 cups. Blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until very smooth and creamy without any trace of graininess. The cashew cream should be smooth on the palate; add more water if necessary. If you’re not using a heavy-duty blender, you may need to strain the cashew cream through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of any grittiness.
3. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. It will thicken as it sits, so blend with ½ cup or so filtered water if needed to reach the desired consistency.

Vegan-ease Cookbook Review + Giveaway!
Her cookbooks (Vegan-ease is her 3rd) focus on nutrition, delicious, easy-to-prepare vegan meals and lifestyle tips for making the transition to a plant-based diet easy and enjoyable.
As a pretty experienced vegan chef, I approached Laura's recipes with hesitation - would they be too easy for me to make? Would I enjoy them? Some of her recipes are very simple, and made that way purposely to not only gently introduce meat-eaters to the recipes, but to emphasize how easy it really can be to live a plant-based lifestyle. I ended up actually liking her recipes for their simplicity and the way she invitingly writes them. This is definitely not a book for the advanced chef looking to further their technique, but rather the new to the plant-based lifestyle explorer who like easier, friendlier to first-timer recipes. Would make a great Christmas gift for the veg-curious or someone older transitioning to a vegan lifestyle for their health. Many of the recipes are oil or fat free, with a big focus on using vegetables to re-create traditional meals.
We chose to share this super easy recipe from Laura for her Quick Red Lentil Curry Soup. It was a 'set it and forget it' kind of recipe, which I love when I'm running around the house trying to accomplish a million other things. At the end of the post, you can enter to WIN your very own copy of Laura's book, Vegan-ease! [Just be sure to scroll alllll the way to the bottom.]
But first, a note from Laura on the recipe:
Needing only fifteen minutes to pre, with only 7 ingredients to assemble, this soup is an excellent candidate for a nutrition lunch or informal supper. As the red lentils cook, they break down to magically thicken the broth. Before you know it, you have a hearty delicious soup, ready to serve.
Quick Red Lentil Curry Soup
INGREDIENTS
32 ounces vegetable broth
2 cups peeled and diced red or white potatoes
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
1 cup red lentils, sorted + well rinsed
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, diced
1/2 cup filtered or spring water, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
DIRECTIONS
Put all of the ingredients into a medium-sized soup pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, decrease the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the lentils are soft. Add more water, as needed, if the soup becomes too thick as it cooks. Severe piping hot.
OUR NOTES:
-Because we're not the biggest fans of chunky veggie soups, we opted to use a immersion blender to blend the soup to a creamy texture (shown below) before we served it.
-This recipe is super easy and whips up fast, but doesn't have a ton of flavor. We added a few pinches of our fave spices, and added a bit more curry powder, plus salt and pepper.
-This recipe is ideal for someone new to plant-based cooking or looking for a simple soup that doesn't require any real kitchen time. If you're an advanced cook, this recipe might be a little under-whelming to you.
You've made it to the end for a chance to enter to win your very own AUTOGRAPHED copy of the Vegan-ease Cookbook! All you have to do is scroll the to the very bottom of this post and enter of one like 6 ways to win. Entries only open to US, sorry mates. Good luck!
'Trés Green, Trés Clean, Trés Chic' Cookbook Review, Recipe +
Giveaway!
When I first received the book I was instantly impressed with the bright, appealing colors and fresh ingredients in every recipe. Rebecca, a writer, journalist, and former French film critic now works in New York as a lifestyle + wellness consultant. She uses her experience in French living and eating to introduce clever, plant-based interpretations of classic dishes. Her recipes are all about being fresh, light, and healthy. You’ll find plenty of dishes you sort of recognize - White Asparagus Velouté, Beauty Bourguignon, Amaranth Caviar - and some you might not, like the Beet Ravioli with Faux-mage, or her Le “Chic” Cake. But they are ALL worth trying! Its fun to get a cookbook with dishes I would never think to explore myself, and Rebecca’s cookbook has given me a new appreciation for simple French cooking!
What I love most about her cookbook are the extras, like when she shares favorite yoga sequences, natural beauty treatments, and positive vibe playlists. Rebecca's belief that mind and are intertwined is one I definitely agree with, and I love her incorporation of whole body health into her book. Her recipes are simple enough for everyone to attempt but tasty and sophisticated enough that everyone’ll guess it must be from a fancy new French place down the block. We especially enjoyed making the Cauliflower Steak Frites and Tahini Hollandaise. So easy, so much flavor!
Like any American child, I grew up on peanut butter and jelly and - quelle horreur - fluffernutter sandwiches, AKA peanut butter and marshmallow fluff between two pieces of (white! processed!) bread. In France, Nutella is the traditional 'kid' food. The real Nutella has added sugar, milk powder, and other emulsifiers, but who needs them? Chocolate and hazelnuts are a winning combination on their own, from both a nutritional and flavor perspective. Spread this creamy cacao on tartness, rice cakes, or crackers; use it as a dip for fruits like strawberries, bananas, or apples; add it to Pancrepes; or tap into your inner child and eat it out of the jar with a spoon while no one is looking!
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (100 grams) hazelnut butter, homemade or store-bought (no sugar added)
2 tablespoons cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
1 teaspoon coconut sugar (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a spoon until homogenous. Store in a closed glass jar for several days...or weeks, if you don't finish it before!
