Vegan Chicken Parmesan



This was absolutely delicious and full of flavor - the best part is that it's quick to prepare and can be finished within an hour! Most of the items are premade as I didn't have time to do it myself, but it would probably be even tastier if everything was homemade.


(Chicken Seitan Ingredients)

  • 1 Package of Vital Wheat Gluten
  • 1 tbl Original Mrs. Dash
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder, Rosemary and Oregano
  • 1/2 can of Sodium-Free Swanson Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 tsp of Iodized Salt
  • 3 tbl Extra Virgin Olive Oil (per piece)

(Additional Ingredients)

  • Vegan Cheese
  • Marinara Sauce
  • Oregano
  • Nutritional yeast

(Directions)
  • Combine the dry ingredients and carefully add the broth until it forms a loose but well-formed piece of seitan.
  • Split it up into different pieces and boil them in the rest of the vegetable broth, more Mrs. Dash and a bit of water. Let them cook for about thirty minutes, drain them and then press them dry.
  • Cook each piece in some extra virgin olive oil until the side has cooked and crisped to your liking.
  • Place in a pan, slather it in your marinara sauce, and place on a small slice of vegan cheese.
  • Place in the toaster oven(or regular oven) until sauce is heated and cheese has melted. Sprinkle the pieces with oregano and then some nutritional yeast.
  • Enjoy!

Healthy Hello Kitty Kyaraben




I'm so proud of myself right now - not only is this pretty healthy despite the white rice, it's pretty and delicious too! It's filled with fruits and vegetables and it's what every child would love. The best part is that I formed the rice ball by hand and it's the first HK to turn out correctly! A recipe isn't really required in this case since it's mostly organic fruits and vegetables, but I will include an ingredient list. Hello Kitty's bow is made up of tofu that had been cut out with two Wilton mini-heart cutters and one small cap.


Hello Kitty Bento Ingredients:
Sweet Organic Peppers
Nori
Strawberries
Baby Carrots
Seared Firm Tofu (seasoned with Mrs. Dash)
Spinach Salad
Grapes
Nutritional Yeast + Rice Cheeze (for the nose)
Japanese Sticky Rice
1 Small Raw Rice Stick (to keep the bow together and pinned)
Enjoy!
