    …notice she has a nice helping of sriracha on top. I would normally LOVE hot sauce, but the whole third trimester thing has me pushing aside all my fave spicy foods. Hello heartburn.

    • 20-30 minutes
    • big batch
    • weekend

    ..in addition to the usual suspects like breakfast, dips and dressing and sweets.

    Who is Ella?

    If you are in the vegan world, you are probably already following Deliciously Ella somewhere online. On Instagram she has close to two million followers.

    You can find her recipes on her website as well as in her App and many best-selling cookbooks. She also has a deli in the UK! On our last visit I kept trying to get over to it, but it just didn’t happen. Next time!!

    She has also evolved into a full-scale brand with products like snacks, breakfasts and frozen meals and desserts. (Applause!)

    But really, Ella has always appealed to me because she reminds me of myself! She started out like so many vegan bloggers, just wanting to share her recipes and wellness outlook with the world. And so many people have latched onto her talent and glowing energy. You can read more about her wellness journey on her about page.

    Ella says on her website…

    “Deliciously Ella was originally intended to be a personal project, a way to encourage myself to fall in love with plant-based eating and make healthy eating delicious.”

    – Ella

    Super Veggie Fried Rice

    I have been making a lot of rice recipe during quarantine. I started using my Instapot to make fluffy, amazing rice in minutes. So when I saw this recipe I was super excited to both try it and share it with you guys!

    It is a cozy rice dish filled with rainbow-colored veggies. Perfect for that ‘at-home-takeout’ vibe.

    This recipe shows up in the 20-30 minutes section of Ella’s new cookbook.

    Watch me make it on Instagram IGTV!

    Happy skillet Ahead!…

    I had to add the peas separately because my husband hates them. I love them! More peas for me!

    Ella says about this recipe…

    “This and the Creamy kale and mushroom salad (page 99) are the two recipes Matt and I make the most at home. I’ve been making them almost every week for the past year. I always make extra rice when I’m cooking one of our stews or curries so that I can throw this together the next day. I love it with lots of sriracha.”

    – Ella, on her Super Veggie Fried Rice

    Yes, please! This sounds like something I should be doing more of since I always have leftover rice. So excited to have this idea in my head now! And while Ella’s exact recipe looks ah-mazing, I would guess that she would be totally in favor of using whatever veggies you may have on hand if need be. But I’m definitely trying this recipe as is very soon!….
