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…
Thai Peanut Kale Salad
It’s been forever! I feel strange typing this, and yet, it’s so good to be back. Life has been nothing short of crazy these last few months–hence, my recent silence. To make a long story short, we purchased a house and made countless small (and some not-so-small) updates to said house, I started a part-time…
Whole Wheat Oil-free Pizza Crust
Yep, it’s another oil-free recipe. I’ll be honest: I was skeptical too. If you remember from a few months ago, my mom has been teaching a class locally to a group of women on the plant-based diet, reversing diabetes, etc., etc. Each week, Mom makes a plant-based, oil-free recipe or two to take to her…
Vegan Creamy Kale and Zucchini Pasta

Vegan Broccoli Burgers
I know what you’re thinking: “Broccoli?? In a burger??” I know. For reals though, this stuff is yummy. It all started a few weeks ago when my hubby (who is forever trying to bulk up his 6’5″ frame) was telling me all about how broccoli is full of protein. Presto! That’s when the idea popped into…
Tangy Black Bean Soup
Sometimes ya just need a big ol’ bowl of soup. Today is one of those days. It’s been raining for hours, and I love it. Unlike usual Tennessee summers, ours has been a very dry one. I think our last good rain was over a week ago. (In case you’re wondering, that isn’t very much…
Vegan Eggplant Parmesan Stacks
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.
