Mother's Day Recipes

Instead of flowers or candy, how about making Vegan Mother's Day Recipes? One of the best gifts I receive on any holiday is terrific vegan food. Because my children are also plant-based, on Mother's Day, my children spoil me! 

I always hosted Mother's Day for my plant-based mother when I lived in Michigan. So, I always made an array of her favorite Mother's Day recipes. This year, however, my mom is finally moving to Arizona only five minutes from me! 

Now that I live in Arizona, I don't have to cook anymore,  but my daughter loves to cook and often goes to my blog for a little vegan inspiration. 

So, today, I'm going to share my mom's favorite vegan recipes I've made and my personal favorites. If I'm lucky, my daughter will read this post and cook up some of my favorites this Sunday.

Mother's Day Recipes: Appetizers

Assuming you are planning a family celebration for mom, let's start with the appetizers! 

White Bean Dip

White bean dip tastes creamy yet satisfying as a cold or hot dip. Served with bread, vegetables, or crackers, I watch people scrape the last morsels from the bowl. At my house, that's a dip success. And, I'm all about dip! 

Baked Parmesan Tomatoes

Baked parmesan tomatoes, anyone? These bite-sized vegan parmesan tomatoes bake in 15 minutes or less. I love tomatoes, so I smile every time I develop a unique vegan way to eat them. 

Pizza Pinwheels

Full of your favorite pizza toppings, pizza pinwheels are made with oil-free dough. Rolled into bite-sized treats, these pizza pinwheels disappear from the plate in minutes. My kids LOVE them as much as I do!

Vegan Cheese Ball

Making a beautiful homemade vegan cheese ball is easy and takes very few ingredients. First, make a oil-free vegan cheese ball by using a special vegan binder with tremendous health benefits. Then, add it to a charcuterie board of veggies, hummus, fruits, and nuts. 

Mother's Day Recipes: Soups

Vegan Carrot Soup

For a vibrant, colorful soup, try this carrot soup recipe. Vegan carrot soup is a melody of savory roasted vegetables and cashews for a melt-in-your-mouth creamy soup. Mom will LOVE it! 

Vegan Crockpot Split Pea Soup

Hearty, thick, and full of veggies, this soup is filling, delicious, and easy to make. Make it on the stovetop, or throw everything in the crockpot and walk out. My mom loves it! 

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

Another one of my absolute favorite soups is vegan cream of broccoli soup. This satisfyingly creamy, cheesy soup contains potatoes, carrots, onions, and broccoli without nuts, non-dairy milk, or oil. So, dive into a bowl of luscious cream of broccoli soup.

Wild Rice Soup with Mushrooms

Wild Rice Soup with Mushrooms is gluten-free, oil-free, nut-free, and fabulous. Loaded with veggies in a thick, creamy, savory broth, this soup is simply mouthwatering.

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Green Bean Salad

Welcome spring with this green bean salad loaded with the freshest vegetables, tofu feta cheese, topped with caramelized shallots, and toasted slivered almonds, dressed in an oil-free lemon basil dressing. This dressing is by far my favorite.  

Healthy Greek Pasta Salad

Healthy Greek Pasta Salad is full of Meditteranean flavors and vegetables in a tangy oil-free hummus dressing. Add tofu feta cheese for an added level of fabulous!

Mango Salad

Mango salad is a fresh, fruity summertime salad loaded with nutrient-dense foods, topped with a light oil-free lime peanut dressing. Summertime never tasted so good. Or, choose Mango Slaw if you're looking for mango in a slaw salad instead. 

Mother's Day Recipes: Entrees

Savory Vegetable Galette

Then, there is always my go-to favorite, the vegetable galette.  Like a tart, the term galette refers to a rustic, free-form single-crust pastry similar to a pizza, filled with roasted vegetables with a cranberry, balsamic drizzle.

Vegan Shepherds

This unique vegan shepherd's pie version is filled with lentils and vegetables in a savory sauce with thin scalloped cheesy potatoes. Instead of mashed potatoes, this cottage pie is a savory sensation you must try!

This lentil loaf is worth every ingredient full of veggies, lentils, and savory flavors. Make it the day before to enjoy your guests for Mother's Day.

Plunge through the crispy crust on this oil-free vegan pot pie full of vegetables in a thick, creamy, and savory vegan gravy made without nuts or plant milk. Therefore, this vegan pot pie recipe is the perfect Mother's Day meal.

Grilled Tofu

This grilled tofu recipe is a fresh summery meal! The citrus marinade and the mango salsa make grilled tofu the perfect meal for Mother's Day. 

Let's not forget dessert! 

Although I'm not much of a sugar or dessert fan, I enjoy a few favorites. My mother, on the other hand, LOVES  all dessert! 

Fruit Dip

Vegan fruit dip is a creamy, dreamy dip perfect for fruit, cookies, or your favorite salty snacks. Sweet and delicious, this fruit dip recipe is made in a single cup blender with 5 simple ingredients. So get ready to amaze your friends with this yummy fruity treat.

Pomegranate Chocolates

This simple recipe for pomegranate chocolates takes only minutes to prepare and tastes like magic in your mouth. Vegan dark chocolate surrounds fresh pomegranate seeds for a beautiful combination of flavors.

Chocolate Vegan Pudding

Next, consider some chocolate pudding. Chocolate vegan pudding is made with sweet potatoes, dates, and other simple ingredients. Refined sugar-free, oil-free, gluten-free, and nut-free, this vegan chocolate pudding recipe is creamy, delicious, and compliant.

If chocolate isn't your thing, try lemon blueberry bread! 

 

Lemon Blueberry Bread

Additionally, blueberry lemon bread is oil-free, nut-free, and refined sugar-free with fresh lemons and organic blueberries that pop in your mouth; each bite tastes like sunshine.
