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 Tofu Egg Salad Sandwiches
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite lunch was fried tofu sandwiches–which basically consisted of scrambled tofu (kind of like the version used in these breakfast burritos), a homemade vegan mayonnaise (my dad made a variety from potato flour back then, because, hello, there was no such thing as store-bought vegan mayo in the…
Maple Pecan Pie Bars
With Thanksgiving and the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s high time for a quick and easy vegan dessert recipe. They’re hard to come by, ya know? I recently started a new job. Before having kids, I was one of those coworkers that loved to bring home-baked goodies in for everyone to eat on the job. Unfortunately (or…
Whole Wheat Oil-free Pizza Crust
Yep, it’s another oil-free recipe. I’ll be honest: I was skeptical too. If you remember from a few months ago, my mom has been teaching a class locally to a group of women on the plant-based diet, reversing diabetes, etc., etc. Each week, Mom makes a plant-based, oil-free recipe or two to take to her…
Carob Peanut Butter Energy Bites
It’s springtime, you guys!! Well, sorta, anyway. Way up north, we still have plenty of snow–more than enough to try out our new cross country skis. We caught a fabulous end-of-season sale at a local ski shop and got a steal of a deal on new boots, skis, and poles for both of us. The…
Chloe’s Fab Focaccia and I’m Alive!
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…
Vegan Broccoli Burgers
I know what you’re thinking: “Broccoli?? In a burger??” I know. For reals though, this stuff is yummy. It all started a few weeks ago when my hubby (who is forever trying to bulk up his 6’5″ frame) was telling me all about how broccoli is full of protein. Presto! That’s when the idea popped into…
