3 Vegan Comfort Food Recipes (Easy, Delicious & Quarantine-Friendly~!)

Today’s new recipe video features THREE more quarantine-friendly recipes~! Check out these amazing comfort food recipes through the video below and don’t forget to scroll down for the written recipes.

Hey, guys! I am back with THREE MORE quarantine-friendly recipes~! Because so many of us have been in social isolation these past few weeks, and if there’s any time that we all need comfort food, it is right now. I know you guys will enjoy these; PLUS I made sure to only use ingredients that were already in my freezer and pantry (some of these ingredients are from my fridge, but last a LONG time).

I’m really wishing for the days we can all go and enjoy the simple pleasures of life again in the outside world but for now, we will have to stick to enjoying the simple pleasures inside and making the most of this situation. I hope you are all safe and well during this time…

I also released Part 1 and Part 2 of my quarantine-friendly recipes so feel free to check them out as well. 

In the meantime, here are some delicious vegan comfort food recipes~!

  3. In a heated pan, melt some vegan butter or vegetable oil.
  4. Throw in the onions and garlic and let it cook for a little bit. 
  5. Add in the veggie ground (you can use any protein source of your choice – TVP probably would work well), ketchup, and some of the starch water that you saved earlier.
  6. Once the pasta is cooked, throw it into the pan and mix everything together.
  7. Give it a little taste, and feel free to add in more ketchup or other spices you like (I added a little bit of sriracha because I love things spicy~!).

  1. These pancakes are AMAZING. I made them with half buckwheat flour for the flavor, and they turned out amazing. The texture is perfectly pillowy and soft, and the chocolate chips in them are essential. Delicious!
