Sometimes, ya just need a little comfort food. And, knowing that there’s cauliflower hiding in it somewhere just makes it all the more guiltless. A few weeks ago, I tried my hand at a potato and carrot based “cheese” dip. It was a smashing success. Then I got to thinking… Supposedly cauliflower is super duper…
Garlic Cooked Kale
Once upon a time, I hated kale–especially cooked kale and cooked greens of any kind, for that matter. Slimy, slug-green, bitter nastiness that sticks to itself and basically becomes strands of cruddies (allow me to invent a word) is not my idea of delicious. I’m not attacking those of you who like over-cooked, slimy greens….
Healthy Vegan Gluten-Free Waffles
Yep. These waffles have alot to live up to with a name like that. Super Power Waffles. Really, though, these waffles have some super powers. When my mom proclaimed the glories of this recipe a few weeks ago, I was skeptical, to say the least. Right now, my parents are kind of on this oil-free…
Crazy Good Vegan Creamy Salad Dressing
I know… almost a whole week has passed since I posted the nacho “cheese.” I’ve been reeeaally lazy. And, I’ve been having loads of fun with my big sister (who can be thanked for the “cheese” recipe). This past weekend, my little sister drove up from her summer job a few hours away to spend…
Vegan Nacho Cheese
My big sister came to visit from California this week. This may be no big news to you, but really, you should be excited. Yep. My sister Megan brought with her one of the best vegan “cheese” recipes known to man. I can say that with confidence, because Megan is a busy medical student, and…
Easy Vegan Sloppy Joes
Back in the early 90s, when my family first adopted a vegan diet, we had to get creative when we wanted to re-make our old favorite non-vegan dishes. Back in the day, there was no such thing as Silk soy milk in every grocery store, no Daiya “cheese”, no Gardein, no Boca, etc. (At least,…
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
One of my favorite summer activities has very little to do with beaches, pools, and tanning lotion. Yep. Even though I love water sports and being outside in the summer, my absolute favorite summer pastime is smoothie-making. There is just something super exciting about pouring a bunch of fresh and frozen fruits (and sometime veggies)…
Vegan Black Bean and Kale Enchiladas
Enchiladas. Kale. How on earth did those two food items ever end up on the same line??? Honestly, I’m still trying to figure that out. Let’s talk about my relationship with greens. I’m not talking about lettuce. I’m talking about all those oh-so-good-for-you but sometimes too-healthy-to-eat greens like kale, collards, and swiss chard, to name…
