The Dessert Queen’s Basic Veganized Peach Galette | Mom’s Specialty

By

My Mom is the dessert queen. Always has been and always will be. The only difference over the last few years is that the desserts she’s always made…the ones that have earned her the title…are now veganized. I’m talking about the dense chocolate flourless Sachertorte Cake (best birthday cake), her amazing fruit crisps, her Tarte Tatin (insanely delicious), and now this, the Peach Galette (the best way to put these seasonal peaches to use).

Thanks to Mom for veganizing old faves.

She’s been plant-based now for about 3 years. Ever since reading The China Study, and Eat to Live, she was hooked on the disease prevention, energy boosting and longevity aspects of veganism. Then she watched all the documentaries around…. Cowspiracy and Forks Over Knives, and dove into Dr. Gregor’s Nutrition Facts.org… Her main reason is the desire to live a long, healthy life as the athlete and energizer bunny she is, so we can continue to bike, ski, and now kite board (we’re both learning!) together. I’m so grateful that she and my step Dad are on the plant train.

Ok, moving on with this dessert.

First of all, I want you to know that you can easily veganize any of your fave baking.

Like this:

Grab yourself some juicy peaches and enjoy this Galette from the dessert queen herself;)

‘Avo Nice Day Mousse | Easy Raw Vegan Summer Dessert

By

For those times when simplicity sounds like perfection.

This avocado mousse lays down a huge tick in the simple check box.

With just a few ingredients, a food processor, and a bowl, you’ll have yourself a dessert to impress!

This is always a go-to when I have people over, and I completely forgot about the dessert part. I mean, I love dessert, but this happens.

Just grab yourself some ripe avos, throw a couple raw flava flaves in there, and you’re back on your game!

Avo mousse is another example of the ease and possibility of achieving that creaminess without that dairy. Win.

It would be cute to serve it up in individual little mason jars, with berries on top! If you do that, take a picture and tag me on instagram so I can see your creativity (please:)).

Tangy White Bean Hummus

By

If you like tang then this is your thang.

And, when you’re a hummus lover, you’ve just gotta switch it up sometimes. This tangy white bean hummus does just that. Step outta your hummus comfort zone and whip up this business.

Guess what makes it tangy…

PICKLE JUICE! And lemon juice, and white vinegar. Yup.

Tangy-ness maximus.

Throw some fresh dill in there, and it’s a hummus party to dance about.

Raw Chewy Hemp Date 2-Bite Brownies | Vegan Adventure Snack

By

The ridiculously easy and supremely mouth watering answer to your snack attack. Take these date 2-bite brownies on every adventure or camping trip you go on this summer. Make a big batch because they go quick.

Dates are the perfect thing to bring on your hiking mission. They’re packed with minerals, vitamins, energy and fiber. They taste amazing. They’re crazy versitile. They pack into your adventure bag like no thang.

I’m a fan of packing straight up dates for mountain bike missions, camping weekends, or even travel days. But, adding extra goodness to the dates and blending it all together… that’s next level, and not too much effort either.

You could totally make these into balls, but sometimes it’s nice to be lazy by just pressing them down into a pan and making the knife do the hard work.

ONWARD to the recipe.

Tag @hookedonplants on instagram if you make these, and let me know what adventure they’re going on with you.

Bangin’ Barley Black Bean Burgers + Cheezy Sunflower Sauce

By

Hand-held food season is upon us and you need a burger fix… in the way of these meaty vegan burgers.

I feel ya.

With these BBBBB’s the flavours are tasty, the texture is meaty, and the creation is simple.

Slap on some vegan cheese for the last few minutes of cookin’ (I find the meltier ones are VioLife, Sheese Cheese, Chao or Gusta Americano all found at Vegan Supply), and you’re well on your way to burger town.

These work best on the frying pan with a smidgin’ of avo oil. They also survive on the barby – just make sure you oil up the grill before you throw them on.

What are you waiting for? Call up some buds, bring home some vegan buns and cook up some bangin’ burgs!

Tag me if you make these! (@hookedonplants on instagram)

I love seeing your recipes.
