She’s here! (Some of you are probably confusedly thinking–“who is ‘she’ and what on earth does ‘she’ have to do with baked eggplant parmesan stacks?!?!?!”) “She” is our new–as in 6 weeks new–baby girl K.
Vegan Creamy Tomato Soup
I know it’s summertime–not exactly the time of year that we think about cooking up a big pot of soup, much less eating it. But really, yesterday was a rainy ol’ day in the hills of Tennessee, and who can resist a comforting bowl of soup and a book when you hear thunder outside? And…
Vegan Walnut Burgers
It’s been way too long since I’ve posted a recipe. But I have an excuse: I’ve been getting quite large, ya’all. At 34 weeks preggo, nesting mode is in full swing. That means I’ve been cleaning, organizing, planning, and pretty much putting the rest of my life on hold–including making and photographing new recipes,…
Quick and Easy Chana Masala + Giveaway!

I always feel bad when a non-vegan tastes vegan “cheese” for the first time. Like, how can this stuff be…

Black Bean Burrito Bowl
It’s been a very good day. My parents are visiting all the way from Maine for the weekend, and little M couldn’t be happier to have even more attention than usual. Probably little M’s greatest joy is that Grandma and Grandpa found a steal of a deal at some liquidation store and found a Melissa…
Vegan Fluffy Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
Sometimes breakfast for supper is just so so so so satisfying. Tonight was one of those nights. When I was a teenager attending a small Christian boarding academy in rural Arkansas, one of my favorite cafeteria suppers (yes, I actually liked some of the cafeteria food) was banana fritters, served up with hot creamy pineapple…
