This recipe is basically Minimalist Baker’s Lentil Mushroom Stew Over Mashed Potatoes, so I give full credit to them for this delicious stew; I just added minced garlic and diced carrots because I had carrots that were going to go bad if I didn’t use them. I thought this hearty stew would be a great filling…

BBQ Jackfruit Pizza with Mango Salsa
For this dish I used a lot of store bought help, since both the pizza and the BBQ jackfruit parts of the “BBQ Jackfruit Pizza” are…. store bought. I wish I was more sorry, but I’m not because it was dang delicious and one of the easiest dinners to pull off at the end of…
Pasta Puttanesca
When I first saw this recipe, I thought it was too good to be true. I couldn’t imagine it would be possible to get perfectly cooked pasta through this one-pot method — but lo and behold, all you do is add all the ingredients to a pot and boil for ten minutes, and voila! This…
Vegetable Jambalaya
Hubs had some delicious jambalaya at a work event, and came home asking if I could try to make a veggie version. Happily! This dish was a delight to make, basically a “set it and forget it” type meal, and the kind that fills your kitchen with the most mouthwatering aromas. I had all the…
Crispy Cauliflower with Salsa Verde
Crispy cauliflower with fresh Salsa Verde is a yummy side dish perfect for a normal week night or for serving to guests.

Lasagna + Spaghetti Squash = a combination of two wonderful things that is a match made in heaven! I decided to add some tender spaghetti squash noodles as a layer in our vegan lasagna, and it was a great addition. I’m always trying to take tried and true recipes and make them more interesting and…
Vegan Enchiladas
For this meal, I basically went to Trader Joe’s and was inspired by their vegan offerings, out of which this enchiladas recipe was born! They have an awesome vegan enchilada sauce and a vegan cheese blend that was perfect for this purpose. I also used their beef-less ground beef, some fresh veggies, black beans, and…
Japanese Curry
I had never had Japanese Curry before my coworker suggested I give it a try. I am lucky to have a Japanese food mart right near my office so I can easily go browse and pick up interesting ingredients. Japanese curry comes in a powdered block that dissolves in water and makes a thick, warm,…
Rice, Beans, and Maduros
I crave rice and beans. Ever since living with my lovely Puerto Rican and Dominican roommates in college, I have absolutely loved the aroma and the ritual of rice and beans. I made this on a Sunday, so the beans could make the whole house smell amazingly cozy. In addition to being delicious, rice and…
Vegetable Pancakes
Whenever we order from our favorite Indian restaurant, I always get Uttapam, a thick pancake-like dosa full of lentils and vegetables and topped with a delicious assortment of spicy and cooling sauces. It makes sense that I love Uttapam, since I’ve loved zucchini pancakes, and corn and other savory fritters, ever since I was a…
