The Happiness Burger | Smokey Tempeh Beet Rice Patties

August 22, 2019 By julia

There’s a million different ways to eat a burger without the beef. But, this Happiness Burger is a special one.

Have you heard of the Delivering Happiness Project?

Hundreds of low-income family homes across the lower mainland and throughout Vancouver are being graced by free vegan burger patties all summer long because of this awesome project. How cool is that!?

Vanessa at Feed Me Fit created this recipe, and Juno is the man behind the Delivering Happiness Project mission.

Juno says; “More than half a million people in B.C. live in poverty. It’s sad to know that low-income families face impossible choices: buying food, heating the house, filling a prescription or paying the rent…”By providing healthy alternative food to families for three months we will not only give them a well-balanced plant-based diet but also the chance to save money on food costs…”

So, here’s a thank you to Feed me Fit and Delivering Happiness! What a way to make a difference in the people’s lives that need an extra boost.

Everyone is loving this patty recipe, so I had to grab it off Vanessa and share it with you!

Happiness Burgers | Smokey Tempeh Rice Patties

Servings

servings
Prep time

15

minutes
Cooking time

10

minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2-3/4 cups quick oats (add more if the mixture seems too wet at the end)

  • 12 oz tempeh (about 320 grams or about 1.5 packages)

  • 2 cups short grain rice, pre-cooked

  • 3 cups (or 10 oz) sliced mushrooms

  • 1 cup grated beets

  • 3 cups onions, sliced (will caramelize down to 1.5 cups)

  • 1/4 cup vegan bbq sauce

  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke, or smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pepper

Directions

  • Sauté onions and mushrooms until caramelized: Heat a pan to medium, add onions and mushrooms. Let sauté for a couple minutes, then turn the heat down to low. Let sauté for 15 minutes, adding a little bit of water when needed if it’s sticking. This should make about 2 cups of mushrooms and onions.
  • Add the onions and mushrooms to the food processor with all the other ingredients and pulse until evenly combined, but not quite smooth! Make sure there are still a few chunks (you could even leave 1/2 of the rice out, and hand mix it into the mixture after).

  • Once mixed, put the mixture in the fridge for 1 hour. Then take out to mould into burger patties.
  • BBQ, bake or pan-fry! About 5 minutes per side…Vanessa says: ‘We’ve tried baking them, and pan-frying them and I like the pan-fried option better myself, but many people disagree and like the baked version, so I suggest trying both!’

Notes

  • Prep time doesn’t include the pre-cooking time for the rice, and the hour of fridge time for the mixture!

Creamy Portobello Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo

February 7, 2019 By julia

Even Mr. Alfredo himself would FOR SURE give this Cauliflower Fettuccine Alfredo a 10/10. Even without cream, butter or cheese at the party.

Cream-ified with cauli and cashews and simplified with just 8 ingredients, making it the perfect answer to your weeknight scramble-fest (just takes 20 minutes).

Kids will love it too.

Use this sauce for anything else you need to add flavourful creaminess to (lunch wraps, sandwiches, glory bowls…)

I’ve added in some portobellos, smoked tofu, and peas for extra Alfredo pasta pizzazz.

Double it up, so you don’t have to worry about dinner a few nights away (my tastebuds wouldn’t have any problem at all if this was on repeat multiple times a week).

Cauliflower for the win once again. Love you, you versatile bundle of cruciferous-ness.

A creamy pasta minus the heaviness! Cauliflower is the star in this one, serving as the base for a deliciously decadent feeling Alfredo sauce. Throw in some smoked tofu for that bacon-y feel, and you have yourself a nostalgic favourite to trick any comfort food lover!

  5. Add the cauliflower sauce to the pasta pot and stir well.
  6. Add the green peas (if using)and heat over low-medium until everything is heated through. Taste and add more salt, lemon or pepper if needed.

What to order:

  • Load up your bowl with every veggie, douse on some of their vegan sauce options, and enjoy with the rice or rice paper wraps they bring to your table!

RimRock Cafe

A rustic, fine dining experience. One of Whistler’s original restaurants, nestled in the woods of Whistler Mountain.

The ambiance in here is so lovely, and perfect for a special occasion.

Roasted Garlic Oil-Free Hummus

January 4, 2018 By julia

Roasted garlic hummus is a staple that should be waiting for you in your fridge at all times.

Spread it, dip it, smother it all over everything.

Even add a tablespoon to some water, and voila: salad dressing!

The flavour and texture of this hummus is on point, and will bring any bland sandwiches, wraps, macro bowls, or veggies to life.

What I love about this hummus, is the oil-free action. Unless you’re suffering from heart disease, you’re fine to have some oil here and there. But when it comes down to it, oil is refined fat with the fibre and water content stripped from what ever  whole food ingredient it’s made of. I always say to eat the whole food instead of the refined version (olives, instead of olive oil, sesame seeds instead of sesame seed oil, flax seeds instead of flax oil, avocados instead of avocado oil… you get my drift).

Adding oil to dressings and sauces is a good way to gain some weight if you need to, but limiting it by making versions of your favourite condiments without oil is a great way to shed some pounds, if that’s what you’re going for.

I personally can’t stop dipping my veggies if there’s hummus kicking around. So, the less refined fat calories there are in the stuff, the better (keep on dippin’ baby!)

The roasted garlic gives this hummus a creamy feel and deep flavour.

Other magical ingredients to add to your hummus for flavour, minus the oil, are:

  • miso paste
  • tamari
  • nutritional yeast
  • coconut aminos
  • pickle juice
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • fresh herbs and spices (dill, paprika, cumin, curry, chipotle, parsley, chives…)
  • Sriracha

Author: Jules
Recipe type: snack, appetizer
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained (keep aquafaba/chickpea liquid in your fridge for other recipes)
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • Juice of 1 lemon juice (about ¼ cup of juice)
  • Optional: Nutritional yeast to taste (for a cheezier flavour)
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 375°F
  2. First, cut off the top of the head of garlic (so you can see the tops of each individual clove).
  3. Peel off the loose outer layers of garlic paper and wrap it up tight in aluminum foil
  4. Place it in the middle rack and roast for approximately forty-five minutes or until you can easily pierce the garlic with a sharp knife. The cloves should look caramelized and brown.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out and add them to a food processor with all the other ingredients.
  6. Blend until smooth!

#2: support your gut: focus on 🌱 diversity, fermented foods, and add pre-biotics and postbiotics to your life (love @Complement Gut Nurture)

#3: greens: pack your smoothie with as much as possible, top everything with sprouts, add a greens powder to your life (most potent: @complement Daily Greens)

#4: antioxidants! From plants, especially berries. Amp it up with functional mushrooms (hello, @staywyldorganics)

#5: nutrient support: take these 8 skin & hair-supporting essentials (B12, vegan D3, K2, zinc, selenium, magnesium, DHA/EPA omegas, iodine…all in @complement’s daily vegan minty multi) 

#6: creams & things:
I’m a new, huge fan of @puritywoodsinc Dream, Eye,Night Creams, and Elastin Serum. 
Created by vegans at the @art_ofantiaging. 
They use Maple Leaf and other amazing organic plant organic ingredients specifically for skin elasticity and collagen production support. 
And, oh my lawwwrd it smells so fresh & citrusy 👌 My skin is feeling noticeably smoother after a month of this!
Also: algae face mask… slap the ocean on the face with @beauty.botanics made by local, Ahnnabelle 💕

#7: stress less & sweat more: every day

3 steps to evolving as a human ⬇️ 1) Listen f 3 steps to evolving as a human ⬇️

1) Listen for that voice inside your head…
2) When it says ‘I don’t think I can do that’ or
‘That freaks me out’ or
‘I’m not (strong/smart/confident) enough to make that happen’ …
That’s your sign to move closer, to jump right in & embrace whatever it is that’s scaring you.
3) Do the thing

Surprise yourself with what you’re actually capable of. 

This is just one of many slices of golden quotes from an interview with my incredible Grandma, Joyce. 

‘Constant learning about one self, constant. 
If only I had only known I could do that, if only I had the confidence, I might have made a few difference choices … we really don’t know until it happens. 
You can surprise yourself. 
You can find abilities you didn’t know you had.‘

Joyce 💕 what a gem. 

Working towards this every day, just a little. 

Maybe you are too? 

What’s the last thing you did that pushed you out of your comfort zone?

DIRECTIONS:
1. Process oats to a flour in food processor, then blend in your superfood powders (greens, mushrooms, protein).
2. Add dates and vanilla to the dry mix and pulse/blend for 20 seconds, until a large ball forms
3. Spread coconut shreds on a plate
4. Shape date mixture into small balls with wet hands and drop them onto the plate (a few at a time). Shake the plate so the balls get coated with coconut shreds.
5. Once the balls are all shaped and coated, store them in the fridge  or freezer, and they’re ready to pack + go.

TIP: If they’re not staying together just add 1-2 tsp of water to the mix and shape again.
