If I could choose only one food to eat for the rest of my life, I would definitely pick pizza.

What would you choose?

I love alllll types of pizza. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever met a pizza that I didn’t like!

We make pizza quite often at home. If I’m trying to watch our gluten intake that week than I make this gluten-free quinoa crust pizza— it’s so good! If I have a couple free hours I’ll make pizza dough from scratch, but to be honest, that doesn’t happen that often. If you do have the time, this is our favorite homemade pizza dough recipe.

Most nights I don’t have a lot of time to cook and I just need something fast and healthy for dinner, like this 15-minute pistachio pesto pasta. This quick easy pizza crust hack is one of my favorite ways to get a yummy easy vegan dinner ready super fast! Plus, you only need to use one sheet pan for the whole meal! Less clean-up, yay!

I’ve been having trouble writing this week. I sit down to write but nothing about the Italian sausage and peppers recipe comes out.

Is writer’s block a symptom of grief? The only words that come to my mind are about my aunty. I know that you’re here for a delicious vegan recipe not a depressing post about death and how it impacts people but this is my real life so it’s hard to turn it off.

The thing that gets me is that I want to share the recipe and I know my aunty would want me to write and share the recipe, but it’s taking me days to write this post. It’s so frustrating!

I just miss my aunty and it doesn’t help that yesterday marked one month since she passed away. How has it been one month already? On one hand, it feels like it happened yesterday, but on the other hand, it feels like we’ve been dealing with the grief for years. None of if makes any sense!

If you’re interested, last week, I shared the recipe for my favorite vegan spanakopita that I dedicated to my aunty. It’s delicious and I know she would have loved it so I hope you’ll give it a try too.

Ugh, dealing with grief is hard. Really hard. However, I’m going to keep plugging away and get this Italian sausage and peppers recipe posted because I know that’s what aunty would want me to do.

My husband loves vegan meatball subs!

What’s not to love?

Protein-packed tender lentil quinoa meatballs
Super flavorful tomato sauce that coats every nook an cranny
Melted ooey-gooey vegan cheese
Warm toasty buns to hold it all together

I mean he really really loves them! He would also like me to tell everyone that it was his idea to serve the lentil meatballs as subs and top it with tomato sauce and melty vegan cheese. I’ve been making lentil meatballs with spaghetti for years but I guess he thought that was pretty basic. LOL

The recipe for lentil quinoa meatballs was one of the first posts that I shared on my blog and it’s been super popular ever since. It’s held the test of time!

Aunty’s Vegan Spanakopita Recipe

April 14, 2018 by Stacey Homemaker 4 Comments

Vegan spanakopita is just as delicious as the classic spanakopita that everyone knows and loves. My version is loaded with a super flavorful mixture of spinach, garlic, onions, and almond ricotta (store-bought), between multiple crispy layers of filo dough. It’s the best! Vegan, dairy-free, soy-free.

I’ve been trying to write this post all week but I just couldn’t get it finished. I’d start, stop, start again, stop again. I couldn’t completely focus on it and honestly, I just didn’t feel like writing.

I’ve taken the last two weeks off from my blog and life in general because my super-special Aunty (my mom’s twin sister) unexpectedly passed away on March 30, 2018.

I’ve never lost anyone so close to me in my life before so the last two weeks have been very difficult to get through. Partially, because her death literally came out of nowhere so it’s really hard to process. It still doesn’t feel real.

We had a beautiful celebration of life for Aunty last week. It was very hard to get through but what made it a little easier was all the people that showed up to tell us about how much they loved Aunty. She helped so many people. Maybe her heart was just too big or she gave too much of it away, I don’t know. What I do know is that I miss her with all of my heart and I always will.
