Food Bloggers We Love: Jackie Sobon

I’m a vegan food blogger, and I’m passionate about creating easy and inventive recipes that are cruelty-free and healthier. This all started when I started researching about food, where it comes from and the true price of factory farming and animal testing. Once I learned that living a vegan lifestyle would help me eat healthier and would lead me to be more compassionate to other living things, there was no turning back. I started my food blog, Vegan Yack Attack, when I began documenting my adventures into veganism and all of the delicious food it held. The site holds a variety of dishes, from invigorating raw recipes to indulgent desserts; no matter what your skill level in the kitchen, you're sure to find something there for you. Here are a few of my favorite vegan recipes to get you started.

Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup

I find that the slow cooker is often an under-utilized kitchen appliance that can create some amazingly delicious meals with ease. Here is a black bean soup that is simple to make, and has all of the flavors of traditional Cuban black bean dishes with a couple of extra ingredients stirred in.

Grilled Portobello Burger with Caramelized Onions

For warmer weather, you can never go wrong with a burger. In this case, the greasy meat is substituted with a grilled portobello mushroom topped with perfectly caramelized onions. A touch of balsamic really gives a burst of flavor to what may become a summertime favorite. Serve it with a refreshing shredded jicama salad or even a side of watermelon Click here for my Grilled Portobello Burger with Caramelized Onion recipe.

Massaged Kale Salad with Avocado Cilantro Vinaigrette

Sometimes salads can get boring. But, when you start learning about what combinations of foods can help you absorb more nutrients, they become a lot more interesting. In this salad, you have chickpeas and tomatoes paired together to help your body absorb more calcium, while the creamy vinaigrette and pepitas up the protein content.

Zesty Lemon Cranberry Muffin Tops

These tasty treats are the best of both worlds when it comes to cookies and muffins. They are fluffy and have great texture from the cranberries and walnuts, but are half the size of a muffin. Now, you can have a healthier treat, full of flavor, without feeling an ounce of guilt. Click here for my Zesty Lemon Cranberry Muffin Tops recipe.
