This week has been an exciting one. First, I finally posted my caramel apple pull-apart bread, after unexpectedly taking a week (or more? :p ) off for family vacation. Then, I landed my first little work-from-home job (besides this blog). It’s not a big, in-your-face, making-6-digits (far from it, actually) kind of job, but it’s…
Lentil Lettuce Tacos
Is it just me, or is there something crazily addicting about lettuce? I’m not talking about just any lettuce. I mean the crunchy, crispy, almost sweet, makes-you-feel-amazing, and maybe-it’s-Romaine lettuce. If your name is Jonathan (a.k.a. Hubby), your lettuce addiction drives you to raid the fridge after a meal, just so you can stuff a…
Vegan Tofu Quinoa Patties
I don’t know what it is about sandwiches, but I love ’em. Back when I worked long hours at the hospital, Jonathan made the most amazing sandwiches to go in our lunches. Knowing that I would soon sink my fangs into a big juicy sandwich like this is what kept me going. (By the way,…
Vegan Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
This vegan roasted vegetable lasagna is one of my favorites. AND, the garlic is the star of the show. In honor of Jonathan, the most wonderful garlic addict of a husband in the world, I haphazardly tossed 2 cloves of garlic into the veggies to be roasted for this lasagna. It smelled heavenly and tasted…
Vegan Baked Chickpea Burgers
What is it about burgers that makes us want to celebrate? Is it the crispy, yet tender patty? The sweet and juicy tomato? The crunchy lettuce (or, if you’re like me, kale)? Then comes the moment of truth. All the cheese, grease, and meat in traditional hamburgers make the popular party sandwich a heart attack…
Vegan Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
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…
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…
