I could seriously bathe in basil pesto. It is so good, I can barely stop myself from eating a family-sized portion, plus garlic bread. But here’s the problem: basil pesto is mediocre at best unless it’s homemade. I tried pesto for the first time a couple years ago at a restaurant, and subsequently bought a […]

This dinner is very simple, very easy, and not too fancy. Very few ingredients are involved, but it’s so delicious (and vegan)! It’s no secret how much I love tofu, but I love edamame just as much. It is so healthy, easy to make, and tasty with nothing more than sea salt. Ingredients: 1 Package […]

I am the worst offender when it comes to being a lazy chef. I always want a delicious, non-frozen, healthy meal from scratch, but sometimes it is just way too hard to get off the couch. Today was one of those days, so I solved my paradoxical food problem with the Southwestern Bowl. This recipe […]

Who says chicken gets to have all the fun flopping around in a pile of breadcrumbs and cheese? Tofu wanted to join in the party, so I made it happen. I experimented with this on a whim, and it turned out great! When making dinner with your favorite carnivore, you can use exactly the same […]

It’s been a while since I posted, but as I finally have a spare couple minutes I am beginning to post all the recipes I’ve cooked and wanted to share since the start of Fall. Today, we make vegan mac and cheese from scratch. Ingredients: 2 cups uncooked pasta (your choice, I used fettucine) 2 […]

Had a wonderful dinner at the local Upland Brewery. Indulged in the Weizen, a German wheat that went perfectly with my delicious (and vegan) seitan sandwich and brewery fries! Great bev and veg combo.

Lately I’ve been trying to make some foods in a Mexican style but with different ingredients. My favorite burrito of all time contains black beans, spinach, jack cheese, and fresh salsa. It is amazing, so I attempted to translate this burrito into a delicious nachos snack, and it was perfect! Tortilla Chips (I like Tostitos […]

This tasty pasta & veggies dish is so easy you won’t even break a sweat, unless your stove gives off more heat than your furnace like mine does. Everyone needs a couple “go-to” pasta and vegetable dishes, and this is one of mine. Easy Peasy Pasta (vegan if you skip the parmesan cheese): Pasta of […]

I call this dish Willy Nilly Chili because you can throw in ingredients “willy nilly” without messing up the recipe. I’ve made this chili dozens of time and I don’t think I’ve made it the exact same way twice, but it always turns out great. I originally based this recipe off of one in a […]

I have fond memories of eating grilled cheese as a child, and it’s one food that I’ve never gotten sick of and probably never will. As an “adult” I’ve revamped the grilled cheese to be even more delicious. Because I made this for lunch in the middle of the week I did not pair it […]
