Vegan Runner Eats

Recently my husband and I were re-watching Seinfeld (a show I would pick over Friends anytime TBH 😎). Among all the ridiculous stuff that happens in that show, there are some fairly smart ideas sprinkled in every now and then. Like eating a BIG salad for lunch. This made me think: I haven't been eating that many salads recently, so I should probably get back into it. Especially since I have a perfect recipe for a salad that's tasty, healthy, AND won't leave you hungry in 30 minutes: my kale...

Today I'd like to share with you a recipe that's been #1 on Vegan Runner Eats for almost a year: my easy 3-ingredient Instant Pot yogurt. (Honestly, if I didn't have an Instant Pot, I'd get one just for this recipe.) I first posted this yogurt recipe as a video on my YouTube channel, and it immediately became the most popular video I've made so far, with 138K+ views to date. Then a few months later, I finally posted this recipe on my blog. Within weeks, it rose to #1 among all of my recipe...

Tell me if it's true: when you first went vegan (or started thinking about eating more plants/less meat), one of the first vegan dishes you've probably tried was some sort of pasta. It's no wonder: there are A LOT of vegan pasta recipes out there. One of the most popular pasta dishes in the (not just vegan) food blogosphere is Bolognese pasta. What's not to love? It's delicious, comforting, and fairly easy to make. Usually vegan Bolognese recipes call for lentils, or mushrooms, or some type...

Did you know that today is International Waffles Day? Well, now you do! To celebrate the occasion, I'd like to share with you our family's go-to vegan waffles recipe. (I'm saying "our family's", not just "mine", because my husband is the official maker of waffles in our house. I only show up when it's time to enjoy the fruits of his labor 😄) Unlike a lot of waffle recipes that are often labor-intensive, mine is simple and quick, plus it calls for simple ingredients you probably have in your...

How do you feel about kale? Few people actually love kale. Instead, most of us either dislike or feel "meh" about it. The reason? Not everyone has a recipe up their sleeve that turns kale from tasting like grass to totally delicious. This is why I'd like to share with you my recipe for easy balsamic kale and onions that's been really popular on my blog lately. If you've been looking for healthy veggie side dishes to spruce up your diet this spring, this recipe definitely hits the spot. The...

Do you have any favorite vegan cookbooks? I love browsing through new vegan cookbooks in bookstores, but I'm very picky about which ones I buy. For me, a perfect cookbook doesn't have to be written by a popular vegan blogger, or be on the top bestseller list, or have the prettiest pictures. My perfect cookbook is the one I actually KNOW I'll be using. How can I know that before I even buy it? I ask 3 simple questions about the book, and if all answers are YES, I go ahead and buy it. The...

Before we proceed: remember I told you a few weeks ago that I was getting ready for a colonoscopy? I promised to document the prep process (my diet in particular), and make a YouTube video about it. Well, it took me forever to edit it (as always 😅), but I finally published that video - and I'm inviting you to check it out! Heads up: I know that some people on my email list have opted out of receiving emails about my YouTube videos. But I thought that this subject was important for a lot of...

Did you know that tomorrow is Mardi Gras? In case you know what it is - laissez les bons temps rouler! If not, no worries! This is a Louisiana's take on Fat Tuesday that's celebrated in the Southern US like there's no tomorrow 🥳 (Even though we all know that tomorrow exists just fine, it even has its own name, Ash Wednesday 😄) if you ever find yourself in New Orleans in the couple weeks before Mardi Gras, you'll witness a scene just like in the GIF above, only x1000. (I'm pretty sure my...

Guess what? Yesterday was another food-related national holiday - National Chili Day 🤩 First National Banana Bread Day this past Sunday, now chili... Someone in the Department of Coming Up with Ideas for National Holidays must have been hungry! Today I'd like to share not one, not two, but THREE vegan chili recipes: one with barley, one with sweet potatoes, and one with vegan sausage. (Hope we have better luck with this than Kevin did! 😅) ➡️ Vegan chili with beans and barley. Beans are a...
