Hungry for chili? For the last few months, I’ve been trying to incorporate more whole food, plant-based ingredients into my cooking. Now people, I already cook plant-based, vegan meals–for practically every meal. But let’s face it. I love vegan junk food–processed vegan meats, cheeses, and pastries are my absolute fav. BUT sometimes, all those delicious…
Vegan Curried Lentil Soup
Easy delicious vegan curried lentil soup with sweet potatoes, super-food kale, juicy fire-roasted tomatoes, and coconut milk.
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 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.

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…
Vegan Sweet Potato Chili
So, lunch, people. I’ve been obsessed with finding half-decent vegan lunch ideas lately. For some reason, I think vegan lunch menus are especially difficult to come up with–maybe because lunch for the working/schooling population has to be quick, packable, and nutritionally dense (especially if you’re like my husband–6’5″ and frequently only gets a few minutes…
Simple Lentil Soup Revisited + Photography Progress
Over the last few months, as I have learned more about food photography, I have attempted to go back and take new pictures of some of my very first posts here on Vegan Yumminess. The whole process has been both humbling and hilarious. It’s been humbling, because I still have SO much to learn. Hilarious,…
