amy eats vegetables

Vegan apple pie milkshakes. Sounds amazing right? Sadly, I was disappointed- these were way too sweet! This was the first recipe I tried out of the new Spork-Fed Cookbook by the sisters of SporkFoods, and although the final product wasn’t my thing, this was not a total loss! I learned a great shortcut to apple pie- mix up your apple filling and bake on in puff pastry for 15 minutes- so easy and the pie part was delicious!

my ask box is only spam right now :(

anyone have any questions? about food, veganism, recipes, or anything really… i’m all ears!

vegan pizza- mushrooms, spinach, and tofu cream.

(please excuse the blurry picture, i was ready to eat and had little patience to stop and take pictures, but i sensed it was going to be epic and needed documentation)

this week, i’ve been trying to incorporate more of alicia silverstone’s “superhero” principles from her book, “the kind diet.” i took inspiration from a couple of her recipes to make this delish concoction. while using a pre-made pizza crust isn’t exactly “superhero,” at least it was whole wheat!

ingredients

- 1 pre-made whole wheat  pizza crust from whole foods
or make your own or use a couple sprouted wheat tortillas. 

- 10-15 crimini mushrooms, washed and sliced
i used 4 mushrooms for 1/2 a pizza but wanted a bit more so you can

- 1-2 minced cloves of garlic (depending on your taste)

- 2-3 cups of washed and dried baby spinach

- olive oil

- tofu cream to taste (full recipe in the kind diet)

- galaxy vegan parmesan (optional)

directions

- preheat oven to 400

- put the crust on a pan and lightly brush with olive oil

- heat a saute pan on the stove and add a small amount of olive oil

- add garlic to pan and saute until golden brown

- add mushrooms to pan and saute until they start to get soft

- add spinach to pan and saute until lightly wilted (on the previous 2 steps, make sure to cook just lightly as this will be baked again)

- spread your saute mixture onto the pizza crust (i like to sprinkle the vegan parmesan on first)

- bake for 10 minutes

- sprinkle the finished pizza with parmesan and spread tofu cream to taste on top. (i like slicing first and then spreading onto individual slices rather than on the whole pizza- especially if you plan to eat leftovers as this way will keep better)

enjoy!
