It’s been way too long since I’ve posted a recipe. But I have an excuse: I’ve been getting quite large, ya’all. At 34 weeks preggo, nesting mode is in full swing. That means I’ve been cleaning, organizing, planning, and pretty much putting the rest of my life on hold–including making and photographing new recipes,…
Quick and Easy Chana Masala + Giveaway!
Happy Earth Day! Happy Veg Week! In celebration of enjoying and protecting God’s beautiful creation (and my dad’s birthday, YAY!), I am most excited to announce a cookbook giveaway. The publishers at Avery have been gracious enough to offer one of you your very own copy of the brand spankin’ new Oh She Glows cookbook…
Creamy Vegan Mac and Cheese
No, it isn’t cheese…even though it kind of looks like it. Instead, it’s a creamy, flavorful alternative to the dairy stuff that will leave you richly satisfied in your decision to leave the cows alone. I always feel bad when a non-vegan tastes vegan “cheese” for the first time. Like, how can this stuff be…
Black Bean Burrito Bowl
It’s been a very good day. My parents are visiting all the way from Maine for the weekend, and little M couldn’t be happier to have even more attention than usual. Probably little M’s greatest joy is that Grandma and Grandpa found a steal of a deal at some liquidation store and found a Melissa…
Easy One-Pot Minestrone Soup
Spring is springing (finally!) in the hills of Tennessee, and I couldn’t be happier. But, there’s something about springtime that also makes me just a little bit sad. I live in a second-story apartment with a teensy closet-sized patio, so there really isn’t room for much gardening. My husband and I seem to be really…
Sweet Sesame Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Tofu
I have a confession to make. (Seems like I’ve had a lot of veggie confessions lately…sigh.) Anyhoo, confession: I don’t always love brussels sprouts. Sometimes, I’ll try some that basically have no bitterness at all, and they’re just delicious. Other times, I find some that aren’t so yummy. But for the sake of this bloggity…
Burmese Chickpea Tofu “Egg” Salad
I tried something new this week. Burmese chickpea tofu. It looks like this: And you can find a recipe for it here. It isn’t a soy-based tofu, but for this recipe, that’s a good thing. If you’ve ever had a soy-based tofu “egg” salad sandwich, you know what I mean. The texture–it just isn’t quite…
Vegetable Chimichangas
When it comes to vegan food/non-traditional eating, community is so so so important. We need each other–to learn from and encourage each other. There are SO many people from whom I’ve learned and gained inspiration when it comes to vegan food. This time, I have my friend Rebecca to thank for inspiring this recipe. She…
