Can I get a Hip Hip Hooray for veggie burgers?

Since becoming vegetarian, I’m always on a quest for a good veggie burger. Of course, they don’t actually taste like a beef burger, but with all the fixings and sandwiched on a toasted bun, they are pretty delicious!

And these broccoli and cheese vegan burgers are no exception.

Peanut Tofu Quinoa Bowls {GF + Vegan}

SO. MUCH. YES

Grain bowls are one of my personal go-to’s for meal prepping. They are filling, healthy, and make a complete meal. Also anything with peanut sauce I’m a sucker for so I’m all about going on. Here’s why I love this peanut tofu quinoa bowl (and why you will too):

  • Creamy peanut sauce
  • Pan-fried tofu: No mushy tofu going on here!
  • Perfectly roasted veggies: I’ll get into some tips on achieving the best roasted veggies.
  • Fluffy quinoa: Soft pillowy quinoa that makes the perfect bed for these grain bowls.
  • Chopped cilantro: optional but a game changer.
  • Chopped peanuts: optional but so recommended.

I like to this of this recipe as a little assembly line. We have 4 components. Sauce, tofu, vegetables, and quinoa. Let’s go step-by-step how to make all these pieces for one heck of a grain bowl!

It’s that back-to-school, brown paper baggin’ it time of year and even though I’m long past my school years (and I don’t have kids), I’m always on the hunt for simple and quick lunch recipes.

What I love about this vegan tuna salad:

  • Mashed chickpeas: High in fiber and protein but NO fishy taste 🙂
  • Vegan mayo: Healthier than traditional mayo
  • Red grapes: Add a nice texture and sweet element to the mix
  • Celery: A healthy crunch
  • Sunflower Seeds: Again, a healthy crunch and have an added dose of healthy fats
  • Dill: Dill just makes everything taste better (one of my personal favorite seasonings!)
  • Dill Pickle!: Yes, totally optional, but I’m a pickle fan and it adds a wonderful flavor and crunch

Don’t limit yourself to salads as the weather gets warmer. Coming from a true salad lover, this shows how highly I think of these spring rolls.

Spring rolls are a great no cooking option and are PERFECT for lunch or dinner. It’s an easy way to pack all your carbs, vegetables, and protein in one little (or big) roll to take with you on the go. They are so easy to make ahead so you can have meals planned out for days. That leaves more time for you to enjoy the warmer weather!
