Recipe: Brian’s Vegan Jambalaya Soup (Oil-Free, Plant-Based)

Brian has family in New Orleans and he grew up eating lots of Cajun food, so when we switched to a plant-based diet, it was one of the first things he tried to “convert” to our new lifestyle.

Mystery Box Cooking Challenge: Soy Curls, Carrot Spirals, Peanut Butter & More (Plant-Based)

We’re back with another mystery box challenge! If you remember last time, I gave Brian a bunch of pantry staples to use.

I love these challenges because they really push him to come up with creative combinations he might not have thought of before. Continue reading
