Celebrating #TacoTuesday in a big way today! Why? Besides celebrating almost two months at my new job and some perfect sunny days recently, I’m celebrating the fact that this is the first meal I have fully prepared by myself since I severely hurt my hand since the end of June. Since I needed to undergo…
Vegan Texas Sheet Cake
For the first day of May, we’re talking cake. Vegan cake. Vegan Texas Sheet Cake! I am still riding high from our Texas trip, so all I want to do is make all the things related to the Lone Star State. Yesterday, I made Salt Lick BBQ’s potato salad and cobbler and I have an…
Almost Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m in a cookie baking mood. Sorry, not sorry. Because cookies are delicious. And these cookies are actually the embodiment of the National Nutrition Month theme “Going Further With Food”. (yay!) My interpretation of this year’s theme is all about taking what you’ve got on hand and making it work… which was perfect because I…
Vegan Mushroom Marsala
We are officially one week into Vegetarianism 6.0. Every year (for the past six years, at least), we have gone vegetarian/vegan for Lent. And each year I promise myself that I am going to step out of the box and be creative. And it never happens. Because life. Work + blogging + working out +…
Stewed Greek-Style Cannellini Beans
Happy Fri-YAY, peeps! Today, I’m sharing a yummy, easy vegan dinner because we are now in Lent. Well, everyone is in Lent except us Eastern Orthodox Christians (we start on Monday!). For the past five years, my whole crew has gone vegetarian/vegan for the whole 40 days… which means I am currently in major meal…
Vegan Chickpea + Spinach Curry
If you have been following along on this blog journey with me, you know I mostly blab about my home life – my family, my friends, The Cat, etc. etc. etc. But today, I’m actually going to talk about work! (like my real job!) As some of you know, I actually work full time as…
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Falafel
Let’s talk about how Thanksgiving is over, but I am still convinced that it is September. Which means that I am woefully behind on all my Christmas shopping, holiday baking, and overall festive cheeriness. So as I try to cram as much wintertime joy into a short period of time, I am always searching for…
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Cookies
If you have been following the blog for a bit, you know that my ultimate flavor combo is pumpkin + chocolate. I’ve made muffins. I’ve made cookie bars. I’ve made pancakes. And now I’ve made cookies. Because I’m obsessed. These are unapologetically large, stuffed with chocolate chips, and probably the easiest cookie I have ever…
Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup
One summer many years ago, a big supermarket chain opened up near us and we of course went to check it out. They had a huge prepared food section, so we decided grabbed a quart of soup and a fresh baguette for lunch that day. The soup was carrot ginger and it became my absolute…
Baked Falafel Plates
I love falafel. My first experience with falafel was when I was 15 and taking an inadvertent college tour at Northwestern University with my mom, sister, and aunt (basically, we tagged onto the back of an ongoing college tour…). We stopped for lunch at a cafe on the campus, where my sister and I ordered…
