Today in the frigid north, we’re making soup. Vegan creamy wild rice soup with mushrooms, kale, and sweet potatoes. I know it’s officially spring. But in the far north, “spring” is still a figment of the imagination. There’s plenty of snow on the ground (in fact it’s snowing as I speak), and frankly, we’re all…
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…
Vegan Creamy Tomato Soup
I know it’s summertime–not exactly the time of year that we think about cooking up a big pot of soup, much less eating it. But really, yesterday was a rainy ol’ day in the hills of Tennessee, and who can resist a comforting bowl of soup and a book when you hear thunder outside? And…
Creamy Vegan Mac and Cheese

Crazy Good Vegan Creamy Salad Dressing
I know… almost a whole week has passed since I posted the nacho “cheese.” I’ve been reeeaally lazy. And, I’ve been having loads of fun with my big sister (who can be thanked for the “cheese” recipe). This past weekend, my little sister drove up from her summer job a few hours away to spend…
Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo Revisited
Hi Friends! So, what’s your favorite comfort food, lately? Do you love a big bowl of vanilla ice cream on a hot day? A mug of hot cocoa (or carob) by the fire? Macaroni and cheese? Sloppy joe’s? This week, I decided to revisit a recipe that has definitely been one of my favorites here…
Vegan Creamy Basil Salad Dressing
We’re still in January, folks, and technically there are still some people who are attempting to fulfill a resolution to eat salad everyday for a year. Sadly, I’m not one of those people. It’s not that I don’t love salad, I do. I just don’t eat it very much. So why don’t I eat it…
