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…
Vegan Fluffy Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
Sometimes breakfast for supper is just so so so so satisfying. Tonight was one of those nights. When I was a teenager attending a small Christian boarding academy in rural Arkansas, one of my favorite cafeteria suppers (yes, I actually liked some of the cafeteria food) was banana fritters, served up with hot creamy pineapple…
Vegan Maple Pecan Sticky Buns
It’s time for something not-so-healthy, but vegan, of course. Woops. I’m sorry. Just showing you that picture probably just ruined your diet plans for the week–at least it did for me. Only I’m not on a diet–yet–because I’m pregnant. :) I just found out today that at almost 28 weeks, I’ve already gained all the…
Vegan Carob Chip Cookies
Guess what?!?! Yesterday was the first day of spring!! You have no idea how much joy I have in announcing that. This winter has been long. Too long. There’s so much about spring that I love: gardens, short sleeves, flip flops, green grass, flowers, and fresh produce. One thing I’m especially looking forward to (and…
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…
