It’s been way way too long since I’ve posted anything, and I just want you all to know that I’m very much alive and still cooking. Since my last post, Jonathan has graduated from CRNA school, we’ve relocated up north (brrrr!), and we’re buying a house. In other words, life has been over-the-top crazy busy,…
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…
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.

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…
Tofu “Ricotta” Stuffed Shells with Spinach and Eggplant
Hi Friends! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weekend! And here is something to start you off on the right foot… I’m not sure what propelled me to roast an eggplant and toss it in the tofu filling for these jumbo shells, but maybe it had something to do with this:…
