Exploring delicious and satisfying vegan recipes can transform your dinner routine and bring fresh inspiration to the table.

Whether cooking for yourself, family, or friends, these recipes offer a variety of tastes and textures that everyone will love.
In this video, you’ll discover a fantastic lineup of flavorful vegan recipes perfect for dinner all week long. I start off with crispy oven-baked taquitos stuffed with a savory mix of red and green bell peppers, diced onions, baby bella mushrooms, and plant-based grounds seasoned with my homemade taco spice blend. These taquitos are paired with dairy-free sour cream, avocado salsa, and plant-based queso for a truly satisfying meal.
Next, I make a creamy and vibrant plant-based rasta pasta loaded with colorful bell peppers, red onions, garlic, and green onions. Using protein-packed pasta and a light coconut milk base combined with dairy-free cream cheese and nutritional yeast, this dish is bursting with bold Caribbean-inspired flavors thanks to the addition of thyme, paprika, mild sauce, and garlic powder.
For another dinner option, I improvise a cashew tofu stir-fry as a vegan twist on classic cashew chicken. By freezing and baking extra firm tofu, then coating it in coconut aminos and corn starch, I achieve a crispy texture. The sauce combines hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, chili crunch, and warming spices, while roasted cashews add a crunchy finish. This recipe showcases how you can adapt with what you have on hand to create delicious plant-based meals.
Midweek, I share my take on loaded sweet potato fries topped with a hearty mix of seasoned plant-based grounds and fava bean tofu, finished with a cashew-based vegan queso. I also provide tips on getting fries crispy without deep frying and discuss the brands I trust for dairy-free cheese alternatives.
To close out the week, I prepare a creamy Tuscan chickpea dish featuring chickpeas sautéed with sundried tomatoes, red onions, and kale in a flavorful sauce made with unsweetened almond milk, dairy-free cream cheese, nutritional yeast, and a blend of seasonings. This comforting, simple meal is perfect for using pantry staples and pairs beautifully with quinoa.
Throughout the video, I offer practical cooking hacks, ideas for ingredient substitutions, and advice on seasoning blends to make vegan cooking accessible and fun. Plus, I include links to all my favorite brands, recipes, and a free grocery list designed to stock your plant-based kitchen with must-have items.
