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…
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
Before we do anything else, can I just say that I love pasta? And garlic? And zucchini? Phew! Now that I’ve gotten that off of my chest, we can move on to more serious topics. A little over a year ago, I posted a recipe for vegan alfredo sauce. It was delightfully delicious, but a…
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.
Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
There’s something about grilled cheese sandwiches that brings back memories of child-like wonder and care-free kiddishness. What kid doesn’t love grilled cheese? I’m all about eating those crazy healthy vegan super-power-bowl meals filled with strange ingredients that aren’t exactly kid-friendly…or even non-vegan friendly. And, I’m all for introducing kids to a variety of exotic fruits…
