Cabbage Ramen Salad
So refreshing and colorful! Great as a side dish or a salad on its own. A 'slap-chop' works great if you have one. When I bring this to a party, I keep the oils, veggies, seeds, ramen, and sugar in separate bags until it's time to mix and serve. It tastes better to me when I don't mix the sugar with the oil right away.
Movie Star Popcorn
I like to make this homemade popcorn with peanut oil due to its high smoke point, but if you have allergies, substitute it with vegetable oil. With all the artificial ingredients and disregard for our health in store-bought microwave popcorn, I've been making homemade popcorn every weekend the old-fashioned way.
Vegan Red Lentil Soup
I made up this vegan red lentil soup recipe one night when my friend came over. It's creamy and delicious.
