Happy Collard Greens Day and Juneteenth Day!

Blogger of the Day: Michelle at Vegan Cooking with Love

I discovered Vegan Cooking with Love while searching for soul food, veganstyle. One of my oldest friends is from the Deep South and I am determined to show her that YES, she can go vegan and still enjoy all of her favorite comfortfood cravings! VCwL is like vegan happyland for her...a collection of crueltyfree Southern classics and a whole lot more! Perfect too for celebrating Juneteenth Day today!  :)

Michelle's video recipes are a pleasure to behold. Her YouTube channel shows you how to do it all from basics like How to Press Tofu without a Tofu Press and How to Cut Jicama for a Salad to making treasured treats like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles and Carrot Cake with a Cream Cheese Glaze. She even offers a superhelpful course on how to make cooking videos! The videos are short, slick and speedy...nothing complicated, just yumfully fun vegan cooking!  :)











Explore the rest of Michelle's menu for recipes from everywhere!  :)

Did you know that "greens" includes beet greens, broccoli raab, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens, all sorts of Asian and African leafery and even some edible weeds! Which are your favorites and how do you like them? Do you groove on soul food? What do you crave most?  ;)

  1. What a great way to celebrate Juneteenth day- and I hope and pray that soon we will see the abolition of slavery of animals too. I like kale made into kale chips or juiced, and red mustard, parsley, coriander, slaws of red/ white cabbage, stuffed vine leaves, napa cabbage kimchi.... I prefer my greens raw; I find their taste and texture hard to stomach when cooked.

    1. Dolmades are one of my favorite leafdriven dishes, especially so stuffed full of spicy savory yumfulness! :)

  2. Mmmm BBQ tofu! Macaroni salad! Sounds amazing. I've never had much experience eating or cooking Southern food but that could change after seeing these recipes!!
