This week Kamaal and I share a taste test of THREE vegan burgers. Back in 1985 when I became vegetarian, there were only a couple of options on the market, and none nearly as good as these. You can find these in the FRESH or FROZEN section of your supermarket. Each burger has between 19 - 21 grams of protein and are very filling.

This week Kamaal and I share a taste test of my favorite vegan sausage and her favorite vegan cheese. Both are soy and gluten free as well! We made Penne Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower and then added the sausage and cheese.

Potato Pancakes is one of my favorite dishes from childhood. It’s super cheap, easy and delicious! Londale Jr. and his new wife, Anise stopped by and are doing the cooking!

It's that time again! What is the best Vegan Turkey? We try a new one today - Gardein Savory Stuffed Turk'y. It's easy - no need to thaw in advance. Just cook at 450 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. Even comes with gravy.

This Vegan Turkey by Vegetarian Plus/VegeUSA® is our family's favorite! We have it every Thanksgiving and Christmas, in addition to other times of the year. You can find them in the freezer section of many health food stores, including Whole Foods Markets.

This is an awesome use of leftover homemade seitan (BBQ or regular).

Scrambled tofu is a family favorite anytime of the day - not just for breakfast. 

Another favorite from Vegetarian Plus®! All we did was add broccoli and scallions to this amazing “Straight-Outta-The-Box” dish and served over brown rice.

I absolutely, positively LOVE pesto! The only problem is that most prepared pesto sauces are not only pricey but are made with Parmesan cheese which usually contains animal rennet. So, Kamaal and I learned to make our own!

Rice with Spicy Sausage features the delicious Field Roast Mexican Chipotle Sausage.

In this video we make one cheesesteak with seitan, and one with a new find – BBQ Jackfruit. They’re both really good! Jackfruit is soy and gluten free so this may be an alternative for those of you avoiding soy and gluten.

Our Pesto Pizza with Field Roast ®Smoked Apple Sage Sausage isdelicious and simple to prepare. The pesto is easy to make at home in just a few minutes. 

WE LOVE THIS SALAD!! Seriously, we make it every week. It’s cheap and delicious and an awesome way to add tangy flavor to chickpeas (garbanzo beans).

Such a delicious, versatile dish!

Lasagna with Meatless Sauce is another family favorite! So easy to make and goes great with a big salad and garlic bread.

Our Grilled Vegetable and Turk’y Panini is a simple, scrumptious sandwich that is bursting with flavor. This is so easy and such a great way to use your Tofurky slices. These keep fresh for days in the fridge and they travel well too!

Hi Family!

We recently saw a movie on Netflix - Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead which inspired us to upgrade our juicing game! Check out our new toy, the Breville BJE510XL Juice Fountain Multi-Speed 900 Watt Juicer. You can find this model, and many others, at local retailers such as Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Best Buy, as well as online from Amazon.com and others.

This is about as easy as it gets. These Gardein™ patties are high in protein and are available in many grocery stores such as Whole Foods Market and even some major chains.

Our family loves these enchiladas because they taste great. We love them because they are super simple!

This Macaroni and Cheese recipe is "Southern Style" because I took my Mom's recipe and veganized it.  It's so thick and rich - just like she used to make!

Another pizza for you guys! This one we make ourselves – even the pizza sauce! It is a super Deep Dish Pizza with Italian Sausage. Really filling and flavorful. You can make it and freeze and re-heat later too.

This is a super simple dish that is perfect for leftover homemade seitan! We used seitan that had been stored in the freezer for two weeks. This dish takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.

We love everything about this pizza - the sweet and savory combination of the roasted vegetables and the perfectly moist, chewy crust.  It's great "straight-outta-the-box", or with some vegan sausage and cheese.

thing simple with easy to find ingredients - all from Trader Joe's. We came up with this Curry Chik’n Masala recipe on a road trip where we had to improvise from ingredients we found at Trader Joe’s.

Another one of our "Straight Outta The Box" favorites, Kung Pao Chick'n by Vegetarian Plus (VegeUSA® )is a delicious meal that you can make in no time! Great way to get a vegan dinner on the table when you're in a hurry!

These Field Roast Frankfurters are so good! Great, firm texture. We made a quick meal by adding our vegan chili and Daiya cheese.

This Curry Chick’n recipe is one of my favorites because it is a no-cook dish and is ready in less than 15 minutes!

Really easy vegan chili - so versatile as well! Try it on cornbread or fries!

This classic chick’n or tuno salad is a “go to” no cook meal that is simple and delicious and perfect if you're following the 80/20 eating plan (80% fruits and vegetables, 20% other).

I owe my husband for this delicious recipe! He thought the Field Roast Smoked Apple Sage Sausage would go great with our BBQ Sauce and he was right!

This is an easy, super-delicious tofu recipe that is like the teriyaki tofu in Asian restaurants.

Chick'n Fried Rice is a favorite side dish of ours, and goes great with Seitan Steak, BBQ Smoked Apple Sage Sausage, and BBQ Chick'n!

Amy’s Kitchen Quarter Pound Veggie Burgers are one of our favorite because they’re huge, have 20 grams of protein per burger and have a great texture. They come four to a pack and are easy to find in grocery stores nationwide.

We were in Northern California for a quick day trip and stopped by the FIRST sit-down and drive-thru restaurant from Amy's Kitchen. The food was great (no surprise) and we hope there will be many more of these popping up throughout the country!

This is another easy, super delicious dish that you can make in less than 30 minutes, using easy to find ingredients. These enchiladas feature Daiya® vegan cheese and are mild and creamy.

We discovered these AWESOME Fishless Filets last year. This year, we discovered Gardein's Mini Crabless Cakes. Both are so easy to make - recipe for vegan tartar sauce included as well.

Another one of our favorite products from Vegetarian Plus is their Vegan Citrus Spareribs.  These are great if you're short on time but still want to have a healthful, flavorful meal. It is one of our "straight outta the box" products because all you have to do is serve over rice - no messing with the sauces or anything.

Beyond Meat Beast Burger is an awesome burger that is Soy-Free, Gluten-Free and
GMO-Free, along with 23 grams of protein! Great taste and texture too!

For Meatless Monday Week 10 we show you one of our favorite sandwiches using three of our favorite products! Gimme Lean® Sausage, Vegan Pretzilla Buns, and Vegan Field Roast® Chao Cheese!

Blackened Chick'n or Tempeh is a super flavorful way to add a bit of spice to your Gardein or tempeh. The possibilities are endless! Sandwiches, salads, or as finger food for dipping!

One of our signature dishes using homemade seitan!

BBQ Black Beans with Chick'n & Rice is a very hearty dish that is easy to prepare and makes a great "centerpiece" for your vegan dinner.

Another great use of homemade basic seitan!

Kamaal shows you how to prepare a college favorite!

Follow this super easy recipe and make your own meat for less than $2/pound.For Meatless Monday Week 2, Kamaal and I are making seitan BBQ style!

Vegan Fried Chick’n featuring Gardein - Meatless Monday Week #1 from our cookbook, The Vegan System. So easy to make and is a crowd pleaser – vegans and nonvegans alike!

Suoer easy and delicious recipe using Tofurky slices! Great for kids too!

Delicious, hearty chopped salad using fresh and marinated vegetables, Yves® vegan salami and Daiya® vegan cheese.

Kamaal and I enjoyed excellent VEGAN MEXICAN FOOD at Gracias Madres in West Hollywood. We heard Beyonce and Jay-Z were there a few days later!
