Bored of seeing bland, faux-meat vegan recipes online, Vegie Head founder Adele McConnell has created an online space where you can find easy to make and super healthy vegan and vegetarian recipes.
In addition to the yummy recipes, Adele creates food videos, shares stories of her life, her beautiful rescue dogs Hank and Holly and her organic skincare and makeup range “Dusk by Adele”.
If that’s not enough, Adele also runs food workshops, pantry and kitchen overhauls, lifestyle retreats, a podcast and has written more than a few books. #GirlBoss!
What I love about the site and Adele herself (besides the fabulous lipstick she always rocks!), is there is none of the judgement that often comes with personal food choices.
She isn’t into the hardcore scare tactics to get you to stop eating meat, she just loves sharing her beautiful vegan recipes and leaves the lifestyle choice up to you.
Adele was kind enough to share a recipe from her “Main Essentials” e-book with us.
This vegan recipe is a quick, easy and delicious way to start including more vegan or vegetarian meals into your week.
You can find more of Adele’s delicious vegan recipes in her Main Essentials book
