One of my favorite springtime desserts has always been lemon cake. The poignant sour lemony flavor mixed with the sweetness of sugar just made me want to dance inside. I LOVE it. Maybe that’s why, when we married almost ten years ago, my hubby and I chose a big lemon cake for our reception. One…
Vegan Sausage Gravy
One of my favorite things to do on Sunday morning is to cook a big vegan brunch for my family. We love pancakes, waffles, and scrambled tofu–but probably at the top of our list of favorites is vegan biscuits and gravy. We used to just use a simple cashew based gravy that was well seasoned…
Vegan Avocado Sour Cream
When we moved to the boonies of rural Maine a few years ago, one of the things that I really missed was easy access to some of my favorite vegan food products. I loved the texture of Tofutti better than sour cream, and mourned that I could no longer easily purchase it. I missed the…
Vegan Mushroom Chili
Hungry for chili? For the last few months, I’ve been trying to incorporate more whole food, plant-based ingredients into my cooking.

BUT sometimes, all those delicious…
Vegan Curried Lentil Soup
Easy delicious vegan curried lentil soup with sweet potatoes, super-food kale, juicy fire-roasted tomatoes, and coconut milk.
Vegan Creamy Wild Rice Soup

Cranberry Pecan Kale Salad
One of the best things about this time of year is–of course–the food. In the last few weeks, I have scarfed down a variety of vegan delicacies like pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie, maple pecan pie bars, apple cinnamon rolls, date nut muffins, and Ben & Jerry’s caramel almond brittle vegan ice cream (SO yum!). People,…
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
Have you ever been invited to a holiday potluck or party at work or school and wondered what to bring? Unless you are a writer for VegNews, a caretaker at a rescue farm, or a chef at a vegan diner in San Francisco, chances are that you will be surrounded by turkey roast, buttery mashed…
