Don’t freak out if you are seeing the word “sausage” in the headline, it’s vegan. Trust me when I promise you that everything on this site is vegan!

There is a local restaurant that I always thought made the best lentil soup…until now. This has become a new favorite in our house for vegans and non-vegans, alike.

I used the Trader Joe’s Italian Sausage-less Sausage in this soup and it tastes absolutely fantastic. You can also top each bowl with a dollop of vegan sour cream for extra creaminess.

ENJOY!

OK, this recipe may look a little advanced but it is actually quite simple. It has quite a few steps but the outcome is positively delicious.

To make the recipe Gluten-Free, try substituting Soyrizo or Tempeh in place of the Chorizo Seitan.

If you don’t have any Herbes de Provence on hand, you can substitute a mixture basil, oregano and thyme.

ENJOY!

Coconut is a miracle plant. Not only do I use coconut oil in my skin care products, I also like cooking with coconut milk.

Coconuts have a great nutritional profile and contain Vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. They also contain iron, selenium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. In addition they are a rich source of fiber.

In cooking, I usually opt for the Trader Joe’s light version for 2 reasons:

  1.  It has a lot less unnecessary fat
  2. The can is BPA-free. Remember, BPA LOVES fat (even reduced fat).

When I was recently at a restaurant in Laguna Beach I enjoyed a simple coconut rice. However in my version I added some veggies and a dash of nutmeg to make it more satisfying.

ENJOY!
