Gyros with Vegan Tzatziki Sauce

 

Hi! I’m Sarah.

(a.k.a. The Plant Based Ginger)

I’ve been plant-based for over 20 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting people to rethink veggies. For me, food is creativity, connection, and a little bit of kitchen magic. Whether it’s turning zucchini into crispy fries, chickpeas into dreamy hummus, or filling your plate with bold, colorful plants, my goal is simple: help you fall in love with veggies, one delicious bite at a time.

Let’s connect @plant.based.ginger

Add the cheese after they come out of the oven!

With so many new friends that have discovering our community over here in the last few days, I thought it would be a great time to reintroduce myself! Hi! I'm Sarah! I’ve been living a plant-based lifestyle for over 20 years, and nothing brings me more joy than challenging people to rethink what vegetables can be. As a lifelong home cook, I see food as both creative expression and nourishment—a way to connect with others and with the seasons. From experimenting in the kitchen to dreaming up recipes that surprise and delight, I love showing that plant-based eating is anything but boring. Whether it’s turning humble zucchini into crispy fries, transforming chickpeas into the creamiest ice cream, or crafting colorful, veggie-packed meals for a crowd, my mission is simple: to inspire you to fall in love with plants, one delicious bite at a time.

These are one of my favorite snacks to make and I almost always have them in my pack when I go trail walking! I really like this recipe because they are stable at room temperature and only get slightly "softer" when they warm up after being outside! I make make mine with: 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped fine 1/3 cup chia seeds Walnuts, chopped fine (about 1/3 cup when all chopped) Dark chocolate chips, chopped fine, like the walnuts. 1.5 cups of quick oats 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup 1 cup of peanut butter Pinch of salt Combine until the mixture comes together. Its going to look dry but should hold together when you squeeze to form the balls. If its too "wet" they wont be good for hiking. Like I said, one of the great things about this recipe is that they pack well. Even though they feel a bit dry when they warm up a bit from being in your backpack they are perfect.
This is how I do a plant based steak and eggs breakfast! Open faced breakfast sammy with vegan jalapeño cream cheese, avocado, JustEgg scrambled eggs, and vegan steak topped with tomatoes! Would you try this combo?

Did you lnow that the perfect Vegan Ricotta only takes 4 ingredients to whip up in your very own kitchen. I'm using mine tonight in some mushrooms lasagna! What you'll need: 💚 Firm Tofu, 14oz, cubed (I have tried this with silken but the texture comes out a little runny for my liking) 💚 Nutritional Yeast, 1/4 cup 💚 1 teaspoon of salt 💚 2 teaspoons lemon juice Thats it...you're gonna throw all of this in a blender, using the liquid that the tofu was packed in, little by little, until it comes together and blends to the texture of Ricotta. You can adjust your lemon juice and salt ratio to your liking as well.

This Moc Meat and Mushroom Lasagna with my homemade vegan Ricotta Cheese was just the thing to come home to after a very Monday-y Monday! I used the crumbles from my good friends at @goodsidefoods along with the vodka sauce from @otamot and dairy free mozzarella from @daiyafoods, which happens to be one of my favorite vegan cheeses for pasta and casseroles, because it melts like a dream. Also, if you're only #cookingforone or two people and you're not making your lasagna in a loaf tin then, wyd? Seriously, it's my favorite way to make a smaller batch and bonus because its so deep you can easily do four layers without anything bubbling over and making a mess! #notsponsored #justgood
