INTRODUCTION

W
ow ! YOU DID IT !! If you are reading this then you have
purchased my book , and that says you are ready to
make some lifestyle changes ! Whether you want to
start eating more veggies or you just need help transitioning
to veganism , this will help you begin. I’ve used the last 2 years
to use my experience as a vegan to help others change their
eating habits and ultimately change their lifestyle. When I first
decided to go vegan I was being lead by many factors but
the first was my health. From my own research and studying I
found that what I was eating had a major effect on my body,
and if I wanted to feel better I needed to make a change. I
watched documentaries and dove deep into learning about
veganism and what it meant. Veganism is not a diet , and al-
though I started my transition with my diet as the main focus
, after learning about what veganism was I soon found that I
would be starting a long journey. I became motivated to not
only be vegan for my own health but to stay vegan for the
animals. Since this is a very first step for some of you I’ll try
not to make this too difficult or complicated. After talking to
my peers I’ve learned that a lot of people want to go vegan
but they simply don’t know where to start , feel peer pressured
not to , or they have tried before but failed because of lack of
support and information. I also know how it feels to be so over-
whelmed that you feel defeated before you even start and
that may sway you to shy away from making changes. ALAS , I
am here to help you ! I made the switch to veganism all on my
own with no help or guidance. I spent a lot of time researching
and learning so that I could translate the message to my peo-
ple without them having to do all of the hard work that I had
to do. Many of you may have children, a busy work schedule,
you may be a picky eater or you simply just don’t know how
to cook. All of these things may have discouraged you from
changing your eating habits, however I am here to help ! I’ve
loaded up this book with recipes that are simple and easy to

5
make for anyone wanting to go vegan. These recipes will help
you make delicious hearty vegan food that will not leave you
feeling hungry. This ain’t no salad book ! I’ve compiled some
of my staples and personal favorites into this recipe book in-
cluding snacks and desserts! Remember that this is a process
and it’s okay to make mistakes, don’t give up or be too hard on
yourself. I hope this recipe book helps you change your eating
habits and shows you that vegan can be delicious !

STAPLES
| USE THESE IN PLACE OF NON VEGAN INGREDIENTS

CHEESE
There are vegan cheese brands like Daiya , Follow Your Heart
, and Violife. I love all of those brands myself. You also may
make your own vegan cheese but to make it easier on you if
you are a beginner, you can buy vegan cheese already made
and shredded. I typically use the vegan cheese at Aldi under
a brand called Earth Grown. They only have mozzarella so for
other flavors I’d go with any of the brands listed above. Some-
times vegan cheese doesn’t melt easily without some help so
I usually melt my cheese before I use it for certain recipes. To
melt it I place some butter or oil into a pot and let it warm,
then I add the shredded cheese in and stir until it’s completely
melted.

TOFU
I absolutely love tofu ! Usually when people don’t like tofu
they’ve been introduced to it in a very bland way, unseasoned
and sometimes mushy. As a person who is sensitive about
texture I was also introduced to tofu this way so I understand
how some of you feel ; However , I have some recipes in this
book that will help you with making some delicious tofu that
you will love ! When I’m frying tofu into breaded sticks or using
it in a stir fry recipe , I have found that it is best to use tofu that
has been frozen. When you get your tofu , drain it , squeeze
or press it gently between paper towels or kitchen towels to
release more water from the tofu. Then wrap it in a dry pa-
per towel and place it in a freezer safe bag or bowl and freeze
overnight. I’ve found that it has been more firm in texture if you

7
freeze it , unthaw it the next day and refreeze it again. When
you are making tofu scramble or want a softer texture , I don’t
recommend freezing before. Use silken or firm tofu for these
recipes.

MILK
There are several different types and brands of plant milk. To
name a few there is soy milk , almond milk, coconut milk, oat
milk and cashew milk. I love using soy milk for sweet recipes or
desserts. I also like soy milk for smoothies because it’s sweet.
I use unsweetened almond milk for sauces and other savory
recipes. Almond milk usually comes in original, unsweetened,
sweetened and vanilla flavors. Most big name brand grocery
stores have plant milk. There are several brands and from
what I’ve experienced a lot of them are similar so I don’t have
a favorite brand. Silk is popular , Planet Oat and So Delicious
are some other brands. I also like using coconut milk for bak-
ing and curry recipes.

BUTTER
Finding plant butter these days has become easier and easier.
Brands are beginning to make plant butters and also give us
a variety to choose from. Country Crock has an olive oil based
butter and an avocado oil based butter. Country Crock and
Earth Balance have butters that come in tubs and sticks for
things like baking. I’ve found that plant butter is just as buttery
and creamy as the alternative.

8
SUGAR
Sugar has been known to be bleached and mixed with bone
char to give it an extra white color. However there are other
sugars that you can use that are vegan and bone char free! If
you see an organic cane sugar it’s most likely vegan. Beet sug-
ar and coconut sugar are also vegan. If you see the keywords
“ raw , organic, natural or unrefined “ then your sugar is most
likely vegan. Wholesome! , Simple Truth ,and In The Raw are
some popular brands that carry organic sugars. Zulka is my
personal favorite brand for cane sugar and it can be found at
popular stores like Dollar Tree and Walmart.

EGGS
Through my vegan journey I’ve learned how to manipulate
things to make them into meals and dishes that are hard to
find vegan alternatives for. In the beginning eggs were the
hardest to dupe. Now we have Just Egg and other egg alterna-
tive options. I find the vegan egg options to be quite pricey in
the store so I’ve always made my own. When I want something
like scrambled eggs , an egg salad sandwich or a fried egg I
use tofu as an alternative. Tofu is great at taking on any flavor
you season it with , and it has a texture that is versatile so it’s
easy to manipulate to be able to mimic an egg like texture. If
you don’t want to have to experiment with making your own I
recommend trying Just Egg or the egg replacer by Bob’s Red
Mill. When replacing eggs in a baking recipe I usually go for
ground flaxseed and water or applesauce. Bananas, aquafa-
ba, tofu and chia seeds and water also are good alternatives.

SEITAN / SOY
If you don’t have a problem with gluten or soy , this may be one
of your favorite things when transitioning , depending on your
taste. If you’re a person who likes fried things , this will proba-
9
bly be on your grocery list. I use wheat gluten to make seitan
and “mock meats” . These products will provide protein and
satisfy cravings , however I don’t recommend eating these ev-
eryday. A lot of vegan chicken is made from soy or wheat glu-
ten. Brands with products made from these things would be
Gardein and Morning star. I also get dried soy crumbles from
my local Latin grocery stores. It will usually be by the spices in
bulk. It is an amazing dupe for chicken and beef and is super
easy to make.

NUTRITIONAL YEAST
Nutritional yeast will be essential to you ! When making cer-
tain cheesy or egg like flavors nutritional yeast is perfect for
making that taste. It comes in flakes , usually in a container
or you can find it in the bulk section. I like to buy mine in bulk
because it’s way cheaper ! I use nutritional yeast to give that
nutty , sharp flavor that dairy cheese gives. Nutritional yeast
is also valuable because it provides B12 which can be hard to
get naturally in a vegan diet.

SOUR CREAM / CREAM


CHEESE
There are a few brands out there that have vegan sour cream
and cream cheeses. I have found that I am a fan of Kite Hill ,
Tofuitti and Follow Your Heart. Usually these come in smaller
containers and are a bit more pricey so I don’t get them often.
I have found that buying it has been easier than making it on
my own so I’ve stuck to that. I recommend finding and trying
out different brands to see which one you like best. However
if you have a nut allergy make sure you pay attention to the
ingredients !

10
TIPS
¾ Always check ingredients! ALWAYS! It is very im-
portant for you to check the ingredients on any-
thing you buy with an ingredients list on it. Some-
times you might find something not labeled
vegan to be vegan , and sometimes labeling can
deceive you into thinking it’s vegan when it may
be vegetarian. A few non vegan ingredients to
look out for are milk , whey , eggs, honey, bees-
wax, casein, gelatin, L-Cysteine, and lard.
¾ Find your local Asian and Latin American markets
and shop at them! I have found so many goodies
at these markets. The Latin American markets
usually have dried soy crumbles in bulk for low
prices. Asian markets tend to have a large pro-
duce section with a variety of fruits and vegeta-
bles. I also find most of my vegan mock meats
in my local Asian markets. It may be hard to find
them if you don’t know the area , but once you
find these gems you’ll be hooked on shopping at
them !
¾ Stick to your budget ! Certain vegan items can
be more pricey but that doesn’t have to mean
veganism will be expensive for you. A lot of vegan
staple foods like rice , beans, and pasta are in-
expensive and easy to find. Utilize canned beans
and frozen veggies ! They will save you time and
money when you are beginning your vegan jour-
ney
¾ Be open to meal planning ! If you have a busy
schedule, meal planning may work for you. If you
don’t have time to do a lot of cooking you can
do most of your cooking 1 or 2 days out the week
and eat the meals you’ve prepared throughout
the week. You can do this yourself or hire a ser-
vice

11
¾ Buy in bulk ! Some stores give you the option of
filling a container with food , weighing it , and
pricing the food by weight. This will allow you to
get things like oats , rice , grains , beans , etc in
bulk to help you save. Places like Sprouts, Whole
Foods and Kroger have bulk bins.
¾ Be open to trying new things ! When I went veg-
an I became open to eating a lot of things that
I used to think I didn’t like , for example avocado
and cilantro. Understand that your pallet might
change and you should be open to trying out
new things ! Give yourself time to open up to new
flavors!
¾ Don’t give up ! You made this switch for a reason
so even if you slip up or make mistakes, don’t
beat yourself up about it . Simply just do your
best every meal and don’t get hard on yourself.
Veganism is not a game of perfection !
¾ Start snacking ! When you’re a vegan on the go
sometimes it may be difficult to get something
quick to eat. I recommend carrying snacks when
you’re on the go to avoid being hungry when you
aren’t able to cook or get a full meal. Snacks don’t
have to be processed and can be delicious and
healthy. Good on the go snacks are fresh fruit ,
dried fruit , trail mix , crackers or crisps , fruit cups
and protein bars.
¾ Understand that veganism is a lifestyle and not a
diet. Being vegan is about not harming or eating
animals and not using them in cruel ways. When
you decide to be vegan you then change other
aspects of your life where you may have used
animal products as well. As a vegan I don’t buy
or wear leather or fur , I don’t use personal prod-
ucts with animal products in them and I don’t
buy products that have been tested on animals.
If you are looking to solely focus on your diet and
eating habits you might be considered plant
based , which is fine !

12
¾ Do research! Find groups online or friends who
are vegan to help you. I love Pinterest for this
because when I went vegan I used Pinterest a lot
to help me with recipe ideas and things to swap
for non vegan alternatives. Watch documenta-
ries about veganism to give you information and
different perspectives of this lifestyle. Doing re-
search will also help you find vegan restaurants
or restaurants with vegan options in your area.
