Once I wasn’t vegan, there was one recipe that I couldn’t reside with out – my cream cheese layered dip. I might make it about as soon as every week. And, actually, I in all probability would have made it on daily basis if I wouldn’t have felt responsible about it. Once I went vegan, I didn’t understand that there could be so many extra recipes that I couldn’t reside with out. I’ve listed 7 beneath, however I’m certain I’ll discover some extra recipes sooner or later.
1. Jalapeno Cashew Cream
That is my latest must-have recipe. This creamy goodness goes properly with so many issues.
I’ve put it on issues like tater tots, nachos, burritos, fajitas, and sandwiches. I really like this sauce a lot.
One of many components is miso paste, and I feel that’s what sends this cashew cream sauce into ‘can’t reside with out’ territory. It provides a depth to the sauce that’s so creamy, tacky, savory, and yummy – let’s simply say that it’s laborious to cease consuming it.
I had tried recipes with miso paste earlier than, and I didn’t like them. However, I now know that’s as a result of I hadn’t discovered an excellent recipe utilizing miso paste.

2. Finest Vegan Cabbage Rolls
I grew up on cabbage rolls. We might make them the evening earlier than a vacation and prepare dinner them within the oven all evening on a low temperature in order that the home smelled wonderful and made every thing really feel cozy and ideal.
After I ended consuming meat utterly, I didn’t eat cabbage rolls for over 25 years. Then, simply this previous yr, I discovered the Connoisseurus Veg weblog and a recipe for Quinoa and Lentil Stuffed Vegan Cabbage Rolls.
Oh my god these are good. They don’t take as lengthy to make as my mum or dad’s meat-filled cabbage rolls, however they style (in my view) one million instances higher.
We made it with quinoa at first, however now we substitute rice for the quinoa so it’s even nearer to what I keep in mind as a child.
On holidays my husband and I carry a vegan meal whereas my dad and mom prepare dinner their conventional stuff. However, my dad tried these cabbage rolls and was blown away at how good they’re.
3. Spicy Black Bean Taquitos
Mine doesn’t fairly appear like hers, however I’m certain it tastes simply as scrumptious!
Once I ate dairy, I used to cease at 7-Eleven and get these cream cheese taquitos on a regular basis. I cherished them and it was a type of issues I needed I might nonetheless eat after going vegan.
Then I purchased Lauren Toyota’s Vegan Consolation Classics, and located a recipe for spicy black bean taquitos that glad my craving after which some.
I’ve used pinto beans and kidney beans instead of black beans, and it all the time comes out wonderful.
You do want to purchase the cookbook for this recipe. I can’t discover it wherever else.
It makes use of her nacho cheese sauce recipe (which I can also’t reside with out).
4. Vegan Inexperienced Chili Mac ‘N’ Cheese
That is my go-to cheese recipe for mac and cheese. It has a pleasant kick to it, and it truly tastes similar to the jalapeno cashew cream.
It doesn’t have miso paste in it, however now I’m questioning what including a little bit little bit of miso may do to the recipe… I’m going to should attempt it subsequent time I make it.
However, I like to recommend you attempt it ‘as is’ first to get a way of how good it’s. Yow will discover the recipe on Minimalist Baker right here.
5. Almond Ricotta
I used to make my lasagna and different pasta dishes with cottage cheese, however ricotta rapidly changed that once I met my Italian husband and fell in love with ricotta.
After we went vegan, I believed we wouldn’t be capable of make our recipes with ricotta anymore, however I used to be mistaken!
I discovered Lauren Toyota’s Lasagna roll ups, made them, and realized that the ricotta within the recipe was going to work in every thing I wanted it for.
It’s not as moist as dairy ricotta, however it tastes simply pretty much as good.
6. Cashew Parmesan
Pasta just isn’t the identical with out Parmesan. Fortunately we now have a recipe that we used even earlier than we went vegan, so I knew that Parmesan wasn’t going to be a problem for us.
The recipe is by Connie RAWsome who’s a vegan cheese queen. Yow will discover the recipe on her YouTube channel right here.
7. Bitter Cream
This was considered one of my first finds as a vegan. Since I discovered the most effective vegan bitter cream recipe, it’s been a staple in our fridge. If it’s getting low, I make one other batch with out thought as a result of I take advantage of it in so many issues, together with chili, dips, on pierogis, and for including a creamy and tangy style to recipes.
