I am not all about that baste. Thanksgiving and turkey are so closely associated it’s nearly impossible to think of one without the other. It’s become the star of the day, whether it’s just gigantic, deep-fried, grilled, or even burned to a crisp. Everyone’s talking about the turkey. This year, I ask you to reconsider […]

Thanksgiving is in less than a week, and if you’re anything like me you just realized that a couple days ago and are now panicking a little bit. Dietary restrictions during the holiday primarily focused on eating can be a bit of a challenge, so I hope some of my recipes can help make sure […]

I drive home for my lunch hour every day for two reasons. 1. Most importantly, I go home to let my dogs outside and give the younger, and still crate-confined, pup a chance to run around before going back into the crate for the afternoon. Here they are after our exciting trip to the dog […]

Every vegan and vegetarian cook knows that an important recipe to have in their arsenal is a foolproof black bean burger.

Let me start this recipe by posing a question…what do we all really want in this universe? Do we all really want world peace? Yes, of course. Did I also include a Miss Congeniality gif? Maybe.

Once you have a basic recipe, like this one, you can add and change ingredients to fit whatever you’re craving! So once you master the basic recipe, get creative! Ingredients 1 […]

It’s no secret that people are obsessed with bacon. BACON BACON BACON! So, I’m hopping on the bacon board…vegan style. This tofu bacon is smoky, crispy, flavorful, and a great addition to any meatless meal. It will definitely be a new brunch staple in this house! It’s true, there are already quite a few meatless […]

You’ll find in the next few months of me posting recipes that I have a serious soup obsession. How can you NOT eat it every day in the fall/winter? Really.
