    Okay, you GUYS I am so excited to be sharing this recipe with you guys! Despite never being a huge fried chicken sandwich person as an omnivore, as a vegan, I get these random intense cravings for fake fried chicken sandwiches once or twice a year. I had an amazing vegan fried chicken sandwich when I visited New York, but I needed a way to fulfill the cravings at home, too. Enter... these life changing VEGAN FRIED CHICK'N SANDWICHES... made with oyster mushrooms! I'm serious. These will absolutely blow your mind!

    Craving some good, old fashioned cookout food? This Vegan BBQ Soy Curl Plate features savory, meaty soy curls with coleslaw, vegan mac & cheese, grilled broccoli, and a side of jalapeño cornbread.

    plate with bbq soy curls, macaroni, coleslaw, broccoli

    Happy Friday, my dear friends! I am so excited to be sharing this new recipe today, as I have been working on it for quite a while! I recently bought some soy curls, and have been having some fun experimenting with them. My favorite way to enjoy soy curls is in a dish at my favorite vegan restaurant, Spiral Diner, here in DFW. Their "Hell's Half Acre Plate" features BBQ soy curls, homemade mac and cheese, coleslaw, grilled broccoli, and a slice of buttered Texas toast for the ultimate comfort food/cookout hybrid. It is SO GOOD. Since they are working with a limited carry-out menu at this time, I figured it was the perfect time to make it myself! My Vegan BBQ Soy Curl Plate has all of the same delicious components I love so much, in a way you can easily make at home!

    Make these tasty Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Sliders for game day or anytime! The saucy jackfruit is super simple to make, and topped with a fresh and zesty green apple slaw.

    Hi buddies and happy Friday! The big game is coming up quick, and before you know it, it'll be Super Bowl Sunday! I have been wanting to make vegan "pulled pork" sandwiches forever, and I figured this was the perfect excuse. These Vegan BBQ Jackfruit Sliders are SO easy to make, and actually require just 2 ingredients - canned jackfruit and barbecue sauce! You could slap it on a bun and be done with it, but I also made a super easy green apple slaw to add on top for some freshness. And that just uses store-bought slaw mix, Granny Smith apples, some cilantro and a quick dressing to toss it all in. One and done!

    vegan garlic parmesan cauliflower wings | The Baking Fairy

    Don't miss the meat this football season! Whip up these tasty Vegan Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Wings for a plant-based way to fulfill all those crispy, crunchy cravings.

    vegan garlic parmesan cauliflower wings | The Baking Fairy

    Happy Tuesday, friends! As you may know, the Super Bowl is this Sunday which means this week we are all about #FootballFood! Today, I am sharing these delicious Vegan Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Wings, which are crispy, garlicky, and totally addicting! The whole point of me making vegan food is to create healthier plant-based options for foods that I already love. I know buffalo cauliflower wings are more traditional, but I have never been a huge fan of spicy buffalo chicken wings, so why make something I don't like? Garlic parmesan wings have always been my favorite {and actually I have a chicken version on the blog from a few years back}, and this cauliflower version is just as delicious as the original!

One of my mini resolutions this year is to use more planet-friendly products, including things that are not tested on animals or bad for the environment. I was so excited when PAM asked if I wanted to try out their new PAM® Spray Pump Avocado Oil, which is non-aerosol and propellant free! And, of course, it's delicious and perfect for all your cooking needs!

    Happy FRI-YAY! Is anyone excited that it's almost the weekend?! And Thanksgiving is less than a week away... eep! Though to be completely honest, I am not that excited it's the weekend because it just means my board exams are THAT MUCH CLOSER. I take them first thing Monday morning, so really I wouldn't be upset with a little extra study time 😉 But let's talk about more exciting things, like this fabulous Vegan Broccoli Cheese Casserole! It is my all-time favorite Thanksgiving side dish, and definitely my most successful makeover for #HolidaySideDishes week! It's totally vegan and dairy free {and gluten-free if you skip out on those panko breadcrumbs} but it tastes just as creamy and comforting as the original. I am totally obsessed.

    I am so excited to introduce y'all to my newest sponsor today! Meet Hamptons Lane. This company hand-picks the most perfect, hard-to-find, small-batch items, and sends them right to your door! They have a different box each month, but a usual package contains both gourmet food items, and hand-made or innovative kitchen tools. I got to sample their Gourmet Picnic box, and it was so much fun! It included a patriotic Tote+Able wine tote {it's made to be filled with wine... like COME ON!}, a custom olive wood and carbon steel knife from Spain,  grainy gourmet French mustard, spiced Fig & Onion Jam made with local farm produce, and some deliciously tangy-spicy Backyard Brine pickles. I made some Tangy Jalapeño Potato Salad to showcase these delicious products!

    Happy Saturday! Father's Day is tomorrow already, can y'all even believe it? I started this recipe out as a way to fulfill the wishes of my trusty Facebook fans, but it then ended up as the perfect Father's Day meal. That's what I call a win-win situation. 🙂 These Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Turkey Tenders are the perfect dish to celebrate dad! I took some turkey tenders I had in the freezer, wrapped them in bacon, smothered them in my mom's super secret { well, not for much longer } BBQ ribs sauce, and threw them on the grill. They came out so yummy! Let me show you how it's done.
