Buffalo Chic Pea Quesadilla


I made this teice today because I loved it so much & it's so EASY!! I think this is my new "I need something quick" meal. 

This recipe is so easy, even a kid could make it (with supervision, of course). 


Recipe:

2 (15 oz.) Cans of chic peas, drained  **(keep that liquid! You can freeze aquafaba  (chic pea brine) to use as a vegan egg replacer later. 3 Tbsp = 1 egg)**
Buffalo sauce 
Vegan butter
Flour Tortillas 
Vegan cheddar style shreds 
Vegan ranch

Method:

1. Smash your chic peas in a bowl and add buffalo sauce. Mix well.

2. Butter one side of your flour tortilla. 

3. On the opposite side of the butter, cover 1/2 your flour tortilla with your smashed chic peas. 

4. Top chic peas with vegan cheddar style shreddedcheese and a drizzle of vegan ranch. 

5. Fold tortilla in half.

6. Place your quesadilla in a skillet over medium heat.

7. Cover skillet while your quesadilla is cooking to make sure your cheese throughly melts & your chic pea filling is warmed completely. 

8. Brown quesadilla on both sides

9. Remove from skillet and use a pizza cutter to quarter your quesadilla. 

10. Serve with additional vegan ranch for dipping. 

Makes 4 quesadillas.

Mushroom Egg Rolls


My children LOVE Chinese food, especially egg rolls. Tonight was Chinese take out night at home. I made Sriracha Roasted Tofu with Rainbow Veggies , miso soup with Ramen noodles added and these easy egg rolls for dinner. We all ate with chopsticks and enjoyed a Chinese meal at home. 

These egg rolls are so easy to make. You could definitely serve them as an appetizer or to accompany your favorite Chinese food. 


Recipe:

1 ( 14 oz.) Bag of Cole Slaw veggies... (if you can't find these, use 4 cups shredded cabbage and carrots)
8 oz. Finely chopped mushrooms 
1 Tbsp. soy sauce 
1 Tbsp. avocado oil ( any oil will work)
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds 
1 tsp. ground ginger
Oil to fry
8 (egg free) egg roll wrappers 

Method:

1. Heat Cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, soy sauce, avocado oil, sesame seeds, and ginger in a non stick pan over medium high heat until tender 

2. Heat frying oil in a skillet over medium heat. 

3. Place 1/8 of the filling in the middle of an egg roll wrapper. 

4. Fold both sides in and then roll up like a burrito. Seal the end with a little water.

5. Repeat until you have 8 egg rolls. 

6. Place egg rolls carefully in your heated oil & fry until golden brown. 

7. Let egg rolls cool on a paper towel for a few minutes before serving. 

Makes 8 egg rolls.
