Save A vibrant, plant-based twist on popular viral recipes, swapping traditional cheeses or meats with tofu and other vegan alternatives for a delicious, satisfying meal.
This vegan re-make is a favorite in my kitchen. I first tried it when viral recipes took over my feed, and I loved how satisfying the tofu and veggies became when swapped for the usual animal products.
