Vegan Meatball Subs and Tacos! (Or, Joey Doesn’t Share Food!)

A little while ago, Miyoko’s Kitchen contacted me to to create a couple recipes with their vegan cheese, and I envisioned a healthy(ish), colorful meatball sub! Mike and I had just started dating and he was the biggest fan of Friends I had ever met. Let’s just say I’ve seen the “Joey doesn’t share food” episode a few times over.

Joey’s love for meatball subs may have also inspired my recipe.

My friend Vince Lia came over to Mike’s apartment in Santa Monica and we made a meatball sub recipe video together!

Fresh arugula, pickled red onions, meatballs simmered in marinara and Miyoko’s mozzarella melted onto a baguette – I wish I had one right now!

And for your viewing pleasure, here’s a video of Vince and Mike hitting up local Venice spot, Tocaya!

Product Review: Good Karma Unsweetened Flax Milk!

One of my new favorite things to do with Mike is scout out the local Grocery Outlet and 99 Cents Store Only before we head to the standard supermarket for our groceries. It’s like a treasure hunt — we find the best stuff! Recently we were able to stock up on Daiya cheese for $2.50 […]

Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup is Accidentally Vegan!

Mike is not usually one into sweets or dessert, so when he gets a craving, I am all about it! While in the supermarket one night, Mike decided he was in the mood for banana splits, and as a supportive girlfriend, I wanted to make this happen for me us him! I didn’t realize Hershey’s […]
