Late spring is my favorite time of year for a lot of reasons–but especially because I get to enjoy time outside with my family. And, because time outside = food outside, it’s time to start exploring some vegan summer picnic foods! First up is this quick and easy potato salad that makes the perfect vegan…
The Best Vegan Lemon Cake
One of my favorite springtime desserts has always been lemon cake. The poignant sour lemony flavor mixed with the sweetness of sugar just made me want to dance inside. I LOVE it. Maybe that’s why, when we married almost ten years ago, my hubby and I chose a big lemon cake for our reception. One…
Vegan Avocado Sour Cream
When we moved to the boonies of rural Maine a few years ago, one of the things that I really missed was easy access to some of my favorite vegan food products. I loved the texture of Tofutti better than sour cream, and mourned that I could no longer easily purchase it. I missed the…
Vegan Mushroom Chili
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 Creamy Wild Rice Soup
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…
Cranberry Pecan Kale Salad
One of the best things about this time of year is–of course–the food. In the last few weeks, I have scarfed down a variety of vegan delicacies like pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie, maple pecan pie bars, apple cinnamon rolls, date nut muffins, and Ben & Jerry’s caramel almond brittle vegan ice cream (SO yum!). People,…
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
Have you ever been invited to a holiday potluck or party at work or school and wondered what to bring? Unless you are a writer for VegNews, a caretaker at a rescue farm, or a chef at a vegan diner in San Francisco, chances are that you will be surrounded by turkey roast, buttery mashed…
Vegan Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is (of course) food. Obviously. There’s just something about creamy carbalicious mashed potatoes that gives me all the feels of the holiday season–even when I eat them in July. While my control-freak self usually takes over all the menu planning, cooking, and baking, there are a…
