Vegan Congo Bars
These nuggets of deliciousness contain that gooey and dense texture. I grew up eating these, and still have the traditional recipe my mom used. Tweaking it to a vegan twist was simple and didn’t sacrifice a bit of texture or flavor. It still has a flaky top, slightly crispy edges, and a thick, soft and…

Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread
Whenever September comes around, even though it’s usually still hot where I live, I still want all the cinnamon spice this and that! Maybe I’m a sucker for the media telling me what I should crave, but that’s beside the point. This bread simplifies an old family traditional bread,

Mixed Up Vegetable Curry
When I make curry at home, I grab ideas for ingredients from mixed resources… there’s Red Thai Curry, then of course Green curry, Indian curry (“Jalfrezi”) and of course there’s the traditional curry. I have followed many recipes “to the tee,” with careful grocery store planning to obtain every ingredient. Lately however, my life is…

Vegan Frosty
My daughter recently earned a Summer Reading prize out our local library. The prize was a Wendy’s Frosty. She looked at the coupon and said “Mom, what’s a Frosty?” Part of my heart sunk…. I realized she had never stepped foot in a Wendy’s! I banned Wendy’s while pregnant with her, as a Wendy’s meal…

Beautiful Vegan Blueberry Muffins
I love to pull out this recipe on special occasions and long relaxing weekends or Holidays! Blueberries just happen to be in season in my neck of the woods, so this is a perfect use for such a beautiful, colorful, flavorful and beneficial berry! I also make these for my musician friends and they love…

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
We are not huge on coconut flakes in our home. But sometimes a little hint of coconut flavor in some dishes gives traditional recipes a fun twist. I like to use coconut products as butter, oil, milk and sugar substitutes, cooking, AND vegan baking! This classic chocolate chip cookie recipe uses a couple coconut-based substitutes…

Creamy Balsamic Dressing & Dip
The dressing is the game changer when it comes to enjoying salad greens. But let’s be honest, some salad greens are really used as a means of eating a liquidy goodness that is too-often loaded with crazy ingredients that aren’t doing good things to your body… at all!! I started making my own salad dressings about…

Squashy Mac-N-Cheese
Imagine this: A mac-n-cheese alternative that tastes good AND is free of all of this::: Nuts. Dairy. Eggs. Meat. Soy. Corn. Gluten. Wheat. Grain. I made it happen one night at dinner. I’ll be honest… I felt like a kitchen-super-mom when my husband even approved of the final outcome during the “taste test.” Seriously… where’s…

Bloody Mary Beet Dip
Call me a kid, but I really like to have dips and spreads on hand in my fridge. This dip boasts a bloody hue (Boo!) and has a similar texture and flavor to hummus (perfect for Costume party food!). Since I am a big advocate for creativity, I encourage you to experiment in the seasoning…

Get Well Soon Soup
This soup was inspired by my daughter’s encounter with strep throat. It was our first time dealing with strep in our household. As usual, I immediately sought out supporting remedies that Nature had to offer me. Almost every vegetable listed in this recipe contains healing properties for not only the strep bacteria, but many other…
