The tomatoes have still been a delicious treat this summer, and I especially love them in this heirloom cherry tomato balsamic jam! Continue reading →

Therefore, I created chipotle cauliflower hummus tacos with cumin slaw to be vegan, and just as delicious! Continue reading →

Classic Barbecue Jackfruit Sandwiches

Posted on June 1, 2017 | 4 comments

I hope you guys didn’t get your fill of BBQ over memorial day weekend because today we are having vegan barbecue!

It is used commonly as a meat replacement to make vegetarian dishes. One of the most commonly made jackfruit dishes is barbecue sandwiches because it mimics pulled pork very well. Today I am sharing my recipe for Classic Barbecue Jackfruit Sandwiches! Continue reading →
