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 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. Now people, I already cook plant-based, vegan meals–for practically every meal. But let’s face it. I love vegan junk food–processed vegan meats, cheeses, and pastries are my absolute fav. BUT sometimes, all those delicious…
Cranberry Pecan Kale Salad with Marinated Tofu
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 Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is (of course) food. Obviously. There’s just something about creamy carbalicious mashed potatoes that gives me all the feels of the holiday season–even when I eat them in July. While my control-freak self usually takes over all the menu planning, cooking, and baking, there are a…
Vegan Tofu Egg Salad Sandwiches
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite lunch was fried tofu sandwiches–which basically consisted of scrambled tofu (kind of like the version used in these breakfast burritos), a homemade vegan mayonnaise (my dad made a variety from potato flour back then, because, hello, there was no such thing as store-bought vegan mayo in the…
Vegan Lemon Zucchini Muffins
I’m back again! A LOT has happened since we last chatted–and seeing that it’s been nearly a year since my last post (whoops), this is to be expected. I’ve worked part-time in health care, bought a house, given birth to a third little girl (Baby G) 2 weeks ago, and a bunch of other stuff…
Strawberry Oat Crumble Bars and the Oh She Glows Every Day Cookbook Giveaway {Closed}
It has been a ridiculously long time since I have sat down to write a blog post. It’s sad, I know. Between work and kids and visits here and there across the U.S. to see family, I just haven’t made the time. Until now. A few weeks ago, I was approached by Angela Liddon of…
