I still can’t get enough of vegetables at the moment and am feeling no need to hide them inside other things. This glowing Moroccan vegetable stew is gently spiced with ginger, turmeric, coriander, and cinnamon, and is a gorgeous way to highlight a spring vegetable medley. I researched which spices are common in Moroccan cuisine and…

Brussels Sprout Banh Mi with Spicy Mango Sauce
The idea for a Brussels sprout banh mi sandwich is one that I’ve head in my head forever and a half, but just now got around to making. First I was using my Brussels sprouts for something else (namely, beer-battering and deep frying them); and then we signed up for a winter/spring CSA and had too many…

Blog Income: April 2016 Summary
I’m trying to grow this website as a source of side income and, I decided to bring my readers along for the ride! I thought that some of you might find it interesting – and hopefully also illuminating of why there are ads on the sidebar. This is a lot of work for less than minimum…
Tofu Poke (Hawaiian Marinated Tofu) with Quick-Pickled Shallots and Mango
This is another stove- and oven-free recipe from me today, which I hope will be helpful for some of you who are experiencing the thick of summer. Traditional poke is a Hawaiian dish of seasoned raw fish. This tofu poke is a refreshing vegan version that’s packed with flavor. That’s all thanks to savory marinated tofu,…
Walnut Lentil Loaf (gluten-free)
Looking for a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs holiday lentil loaf? I’ve got you covered AND I’ve made this version naturally gluten-free. Most lentil loaf or other vegan meatloaf recipes rely on breadcrumbs to counteract the natural mushiness of beans. I love beans to the moon and back, but yeah… they’re mushy. However, I have an inexplicable pathological…
Kimchi Quesadillas
Try something a little different with these kimchi quesadillas! The funky flavor of kimchi makes these crispy filled tortillas a unique delight. Omg, it’s a new recipe! I’ve mostly been enjoying old favorites from the site and trying to support local restaurants, and haven’t been cooking up many new things, but maybe this is the…
Feel-Good Tofu Noodle Soup (Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup)
Last weekend everyone in the house had a cold. Even the cat was sneezing. I had set aside most of Sunday for recipe testing, but as my sniffly self read through my list of recipes-in-progress, nothing really sounded good. What I needed, and what was missing from my list, was something that was nutritious, hydrating…
Sriracha Hemp Noodles + A Cookbook Giveaway
Way back in 2014, I reviewed Debbie Adler’s vegan & gluten-free baking cookbook, Sweet Debbie’s Organic Treats and adored it. I was therefore thrilled when Debbie let me know she has a new vegan cookbook coming out imminently: Sweet, Savory and Free. Over the past couple of months I’ve been enjoying cooking from it and…
Healthy Vegan Broccoli Cheese Soup
Creamy vegan broccoli cheese soup that’s made from healthy, plant-based and whole food ingredients! Seriously nobody can guess the nutritious base of this cheezy soup that makes it so creamy and delicious. My creamy vegan broccoli soup is a staple around here, but recently I was more specifically craving a dish of my youth, broccoli…

Crispy baked tofu is tossed with sweet and spicy peanut sauce and served with fresh herbs and pickled shallots, for an Asian-inspired peanut tofu recipe that’s fresh and flavorful.

Summer’s Bounty: “Sausage”, Pepper and Fennel Pizza with Homemade Vegan Cheese Sauce
In the Summer’s Bounty series, I’ll be focusing on creating recipes based around what I receive in my CSA share. This is my second year of feasting on amazing produce from One Straw Farm. Participating helps me keep fruits and vegetables as a top priority, feel more connected with my food and the earth, and support…
Creamy Broccoli Soup (Secretly Healthy!)
My creamy vegan broccoli soup is so many things that the original cream of broccoli soup never was to me: it’s creamy but also delicate in flavor; it’s a hearty, filling, satisfying soup that won’t send you into a food coma and/or spiral of regret; and it’s full of nutritious ingredients (but you’d never know it!)….
Vegan Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
One of the fun things about vegan “mac and cheese” is that because it’s already such a departure from the original dish, you can put lots of different spins on it with different base ingredients in the sauce. Today I have a dairy-free cauliflower mac and cheese with a base of creamy pureed cauliflower and…
Spaghetti and Lentil Balls
Now that a certain sporting event is finally over, it’s time to get back to eating proper meals that require a fork and a plate! I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but I’m actually experiencing cauliflower wing burnout. In honor of returning to satisfying, light, and healthy meals, I’m sharing this recipe for spaghetti and lentil…
Samosa Soup
I would happily use samosa potatoes in just about anything. That said, for those times when either you’re really busy, or just really lazy… skip the dough, the folding, and the frying, and turn them into samosa soup! This samosa soup has a potato base, plus nicely browned onions and garlic blended up with all…
Swiss Chard Hummus (with Pickled Chard Stems)
I’ve never been a big chard person. It’s funny because I’ve talked to people who don’t like kale, because they find it too bitter. But they like Swiss chard just fine. I’m exactly the opposite. I really, really like kale – raw or cooked; but I have had trouble cooking chard dishes that I get…
Dreamy Orange Creamsicle Cake
This moist but fluffy vegan orange cake tastes just like a creamsicle and is a beautiful orange hue! When I created my bakery-style vegan white cake recipe, I long knew that I wanted to use it as a canvas for other cake flavors. (Once I’ve created enough variety I am planning to start selling these…
My Ultimate Vegan Baked Mac and Cheese
Hearty vegan baked mac and cheese, made with elbow pasta drenched in a creamy homemade roasted red pepper “cheese” sauce, topped with breadcrumbs and baked to perfection. Vegan cheese analogs. A highly contentious topic on the internet and a food that gets seriously mixed reactions from taste testers. I’ve come up with a version of…
BBQ Pulled Pineapple Lettuce Wraps
These BBQ pulled pineapple lettuce wraps are not some kind of practical joke! Pineapple can be turned into “shreds” in a similar way to jackfruit, and its natural sweetness makes it a great vehicle for a healthier barbecue sauce flavor profile. These wraps are flavor bombs that are tangy, sweet, smoky, and nutritious too! You…
