America Is Moving Plant-Forward, Let’s Make Our Menus Match

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

Have you ever tried Burger Quesadillas? It's everything you love about a big, sloppy, burger...all packed unto a crispy quesadilla! My trick, when making griddled dishes like this and using vegan cheese is to let the microwave do the heavy lifting.
Have you ever tried Burger Quesadillas? It's everything you love about a big, sloppy, burger...all packed unto a crispy quesadilla! My trick, when making griddled dishes like this and using vegan cheese is to let the microwave do the heavy lifting. Dairy free cheese does need higher temperatures to melt and if you're not careful you'll burn your tortilla before the cheese is melted. Simply take your bottom tortilla and sprinkle it with cheese...pop it into the microwave for 20 seconds and THEN move it to your pan or griddle, add your toppings and top with another tortilla. Flip once you've gotten a nice crust on one side and cook another minute once flipped! I stuffed mine with vegan ground, cooked with garlic, and a few dashes of liquid smoke, dairy free cheddar cheese, chopped onions and tomatoes, and my homemade vegan "special sauce" that I always put on my Big Mocs! Top with a little more sauce, lettuce, and sesame seeds! Boom! Burger Quesadillas... #PlantBased #Vegan #LifeOnTheVeg #Vegetarian #VeganFood #VeganRecipes #PlantBasedFood #HealthyFood #HealthyLifestyle #PlantBasedDiet #WhatVeganSeat #VegansOfIG #VeganLife #Vegetarian #CrueltyFree #GlutenFree #CleanEating #VeganFoodShare
