Vegetarian White Chili
You guys know that I’m a chili lover. There is absolutely no question about this.
One pot recipes are always a hit: hassle free, easy to make and absolutely delicious when all the flavors combine.
Making a vegan chili is both simpel and exciting. Meat components are often replaced bit a variety of beans and sometimes more vegetables.

Vegan Paella
When we first moved to Arizona we experienced our first authentic paella at a Spanish restaurant in Scottsdale and we fell in love! It was hearty, aromatic and full of addictive flavors.
It’s a family-style meal that’s served in a paella pan right on your table. You don’t even need plates, you just dig right in!The ambiance of the restaurant is spot on with its rustic appeal and live Spanish music. We always have a great time when we go.

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
Family, close friends, andPlant & Vinereaders are well aware that I am a fan of mushrooms. Like a “make the family dog smell the mushrooms in the fridge so he can be my official mushroom sniffer and improve my meager chances of finding delicious, edible wild species on a mushroom hunt in the urban woods” type of fan. With cool fall evenings and winter quickly approaching, I’m all about the soups. So putting one and one together, here is a delicious vegan cream of mushroom soup rockin’ two different types of mushrooms.

Mushroom Burrito Bowl
Ireally like Mexican food. Actually, I probably would go as far as saying it’s my favourite cuisine. Fresh, vibrant and fun; it’s how food should be. This mushroom burrito bowl is easy, healthy and full of colour. Now, I’m not going to claim it as authentic Mexican. It’s more a Georgie Eats does Tex-Mex kinda thing. But, no matter the origin, one thing’s for sure: It’s Damn Delicious!

Coconut Curry with Crispy Tofu
I’m a sucker for curries. Especially when there is broccoli, sweet potato, and tofu involved. There is something about this combination…the sweetness of the coconut milk and sweet potato, the crispiness of the tofu, the broccoli and basmati rice soaking up all the flavors… I just love it.
I’ve had a very similar curry almost 10 years ago in Berlin, and whenever I make this curry, this reminds me of the trip. So the curry is comfort food for my belly and for my mind. And I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Black Bean Soup
Today I’d like to introduce you to my favorite black bean soup! This affordable and humble soup recipe is anything but boring, especially served with a variety of toppings. The flavor is spot-on delicious, with the addition of lime juice and cumin. It’s not too spicy, so perfect for kids. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll add a good squeeze of sriracha in your bowl.

Vegan Spring Rolls with Veggies
Most of us eat spring rolls as a starter in restaurants, a few of us will admit buying them as a frozen snack from time to time, but only a few of us have probably made them at home yet. But in fact, it’s easier than you think and gives you plenty of options for fillings, which is why for us, they are a wonderful way to use up leftover veggies.

Vegan Stuffed Shells with Spinach and Cashews
But in fact, the preparation is super easy: first prepare the stuffing, then cook pasta shells, fill and bake them. We decided on the vegan version of a classic spinach and ricotta filling, but used cashews instead of cheese. Instead of a tomato based sauce, we’ll cook a creamy béchamel, because why not! For this recipe, it’s important to drain the spinach (especially if you use frozen spinach) to avoid a watery stuffing. And by the way, if you don’t find any pasta shells, you can also make the recipe with cannelloni instead!

Lentil Loaf
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried several lentil loaf recipes. I’ve been vegan for nearly a decade now, and that’s almost 10 years of testing vegan recipes! I was never crazy about lentil “meatloaf” because I just couldn’t seem to get it right. Too often my loaf was mushy, sometimes even kind of “gummy” tasting. I remember one Thanksgiving making a recipe I was so excited about, and it just wasn’t good at all!
