Pizza is my favorite food and I could eat it for every meal. There is no doubt in my mind that I could eat it every day three times a day for the rest of my life. Especially with the existence of such good dairy-free cheeses these days, and their availability in most super markets,…

Crabless Cakes with Chili Mayo
This crab cake recipe is one of my favorite vegan recipes to make because it really tastes like the real thing and is so easy to make. I’ve been working on this one for a while and have finally perfected it. I’ve even tried freezing the crab cake patties and reheating them, which is also…
Kale Lentil Bowl
Bowls are so trendy these days, aren’t they? They’re on most healthy or vegetarian restaurant menus, they’re all over Instagram, they’re in every vegan cookbook I own. But what is a bowl other than a normal meal packaged in a pretty way? You got your quinoa or grain base, you got your bean or lentil…
Teriyaki Veggie Tacos
I’m pretty proud of myself for this one. A change in our schedules meant that we would both be home for dinner unexpectedly, and with a fridge full of produce and a packed vacation schedule coming up, it meant we needed to take this opportunity to clear out that refrigerator! I decided to use up…
Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti Squash is an amazing vegetable. It’s nature’s way of telling us to play with our food and to eat less processed grains. The first time I made it, I couldn’t believe how fun it was! It feels like magic – I didn’t believe it was true until I saw it for myself. In addition…
Balsamic Asparagus and Polenta
Polenta is one of those things that I always really like when I order it at restaurants, but can never get it quite right when I try it at home. Except this time. I am so happy with how this turned out, especially topped with asparagus and a balsamic reduction. The key to a yummy,…
Stuffed Zucchini with Maple Carrots
I am a big fan of meals that are mostly vegetables. Since veggies are high in fiber and water content, they can be very filling. Also, it’s acceptable to eat LOTS of them because they are guilt-free. This stuffed zucchini is a perfect example of a high-veggie content dish. And it’s healthy, it’s roasted, it’s…
Cauliflower Steaks with Chimichurri
This is an example of an instance when I don’t think it’s really necessary to call these slices of a cauliflower head “steaks,” but honestly, I couldn’t figure out what to call them instead. They are filling and hearty, a little charred on the outside, flavored with a marinade, and rubbed with spices – sounds…
Mash Up Dinner
Today was a hot day full of outdoor activities and not enough water. I came home after hours of being in the hot sun and felt sunburned and dehydrated. And famished! I was craving an easy dinner full of vegetables to help quench my thirst and replenish my body of the energy and nutrients I…
Stuffed Shells
This stuffed shells recipe was one of the first meals I made when I decided to transition from vegetarian to vegan. At that point, the idea of giving up cheese seemed very daunting to me. Also, I hadn’t really felt the need to be super creative with tofu or other plant-based proteins yet. After trying…
