GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE, VEGAN

A friend gifted me the cookbook, Plant-Based on a Budget. After flipping through a few pages, I knew this would be right up my alley – a zillion plant-based recipes, real ingredients I can find at my local grocery store, only a few ingredients per recipe, and a variety of meals. 

At this point, I haven’t been overly vocal about my decision to go plant-based (a decision I made in late summer 2019) but I am making that a priority this year! 

Transitioning to plant-based or completely vegan can be challenging depending on where you live and your living environment. If you’re like me, you probably have searched Pinterest and Instagram for plant-based recipes and cooks. I’m going to also assume, like me, you were overwhelmed with the ingredients, processes, and a little turned off by how “complex” most of the recipes are. 

Friend, this cookbook truly does a phenomenal job of making that transition feel easier. Here’s a glance at some of the recipes from the book that I’ll be testing the next couple of weeks: 

Five-ingredient Peanut Butter Bites

Tofu Scramble 

Four-Bean Chili

Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fried Tofu 

And yes, of course I’ll be sharing them with YOU! 

The first recipe from this book that I tried was amazing (& even my Momma approved!) The yeast & bread crumbs give the dish an almost cheesy flavor that makes it feel indulgent and is completely filling. I did alter the recipe a bit to meet my personal dietary needs (low fodmap) and what I’m sharing is my version of this recipe! 

If you try this recipe, let me know!
