Dana Shultz from the blog, Minimalist Baker, released her cookbook, Minimalist Bakerโ€™s Everyday Cooking, on April 26, 2016, and you guys…this is serious business.

It includes 101 entirely plant-based recipes that are also gluten-free, easy to prepare, and of course, delicious.  

I met Dana and her husband, John, back when I visited Bobโ€™s Red Mill up in Portland last year.

The two make an amazing, inspiring team with so much talent and are super generous with advice and information on blogging.

Iโ€™m always thrilled to meet other bloggers and am always blown away when theyโ€™re as humble and fun to spend time with as Dana and John.

Back to the issue at hand: das cookbook.

If youโ€™re familiar with Dana, you know she takes a minimalistic (yet super healthful and tasty) approach to cooking – her recipes typically require only 30 minutes of time, OR 10 ingredients or less, OR one pot/pan to prepare. I mean…thatโ€™s my type of cooking!

The cookbook follows suit, dishing up a plethora of mouth-watering vibrant meals that anyone can prepare!  The book is a no-fuss approach to cooking for anyone who loves delicious food that happens to be healthful.

Dana provides resources at the beginning of the book for preparing dairy-free (and vegan) alternatives, such as coconut whipped cream, flax eggs, etc., to help those along who are new to vegan cooking.

A mega win. Even if youโ€™re a meat eater like me, youโ€™ll get a ton out of this cookbook, as Danaโ€™s a whiz at infusing her recipes with flavor and intrigue. Those who are vegetarian, vegan, looking to add more vegetables to your diet, and/or those who love eating healthy, this cookbook is right for you!

Iโ€™ve gone through the cookbook a few times cover-to-cover, and am always finding new recipes I want to try.

Because breakfast is a big event in my house, I decided to make the Vegan Breakfast Burritos.

I know what youโ€™re thinking.

Breakfast burritos without eggs? Or bacon? Or cheese?

You guys, youโ€™ll just have to take a flying leap out of the trust tree, because this thing just works.

With home fries (skillet-cooked potatoes), rice, beans, and a guac/slaw situation, these burritos turn out fabulously flavorful and you wonโ€™t even miss the meat yoooou betcha!

We make breakfast burritos on the reg in my house and these – in all their vegan glory – are some of the best we’ve had!
