Vegan Mother's Day Recipes

Show some love from the kitchen this mother's day... think Banana Pecan Rice Pudding Pie or a Portobello Bagel Melt, and even more!

Note: For my fellow Canadians that might be wondering about the reference to Daiya cheese in the bagel melt and where to buy it, I have been ordering Daiya through Viva Granola, just fyi.

We are all exposed to cancer-causing chemicals, whether we like it or not. ... all of us are exposed to chemicals in the air, in water, in food, and in household products, not to mention the carcinogens produced within our bodies as a part of our metabolic processes. While trying to minimize our exposure to carcinogens, we can also shore up our defenses against these assaults by including generous amounts of vegetables and fruits in our diet. A plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and unprocessed cereals is associated with a decreased risk of cancer.  (source: PCRM)

Breakfast Pie

Back to a new recipe! I'm going to feature more of my recipes from Vive and TEV in upcoming months, but I still have some exciting new yummies to show you as well.

Like this Banana Pecan Rice Pudding Pie for Eat, Drink and Be Vegan. Here it is before going into the oven (looks good already, huh?).

Below, I'm spooning a luscious bite after the pudding is out of the oven and has cooled for about 20-30 minutes. This pudding pie is made with wholesome brown rice, but you'd hardly know it with how creamy and rich-tasting it is. Not overly sweet or rich to enjoy for breakfast, but just enough to make it more of a breakfast treat than your ordinary morning meal.



On to serving... How else, but drizzled with vanilla non-dairy milk... in these most elegant - very fancy shmancy Dora The Explorer and Sponge Bob bowls! Yeah, I could teach Martha a few things.
