Sometimes I like to mix together a bunch of my favorite things and see what happens. In this case, it’s sweet potatoes, fresh spinach, and slow simmered green lentils. It turned out to be a great combination and a super easy two-pot dinner that we will definitely be making again (and again)! The key is…

Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas
Fish, chips, and mushy peas. Oh boy do I miss this classic pub & chippy fare! I resigned myself to never being able to have it again, but alas, anything you can make I can make vegan! Hubby always gets fish and chips when we are back in his homeland (and let’s face it, at…
Ratatouille
Ratatouille, the dish made famous by Disney. Beyond associating this dish with the cutest animated rat in history, I love how healthy and celebratory it is! It’s the perfect dish for summer’s bounty of squashes and eggplants and juicy red tomatoes. I highly suggest taking a trip to the local farmers market and picking out…
Teriyaki Rice and Tofu
Our apartment does not have air conditioning, and also doesn’t have cross ventilation, so our kitchen can get pretty steamy with the oven on. I try to use the oven as little as possible in these warmer months, so I like to find quick stove top dinners that don’t emit much heat output! This is…
Baked Tofu with Strawberry Salsa
To me, June means strawberries. There’s only one month per year in the Northeast USA that has really good, juicy, sweet strawberries. I don’t trust those mid-winter grocery store strawberries that are almost as big as apples. I wait for the real, beautiful, natural thing and enjoy the heck out of them for those few…
Vegetable Lo Mein
I used to almost always order Lo Mein when we would order Chinese food takeout. I love everything about it: the slimy noodles, the crunchy vegetables, and the delicious salty sauce in which it’s all drenched. Lo mein is typically made with Chinese egg noodles, so I figured it was high time to veganize (and…
Thai Red Vegetable Curry
I love trying new curry recipes. It’s always fun to change up the flavors in the sauces and the combinations of vegetables and textures in the dish. I typically use curry powder for my curries, which has a smokey flavor, but this time I tried red curry paste and added creamy coconut milk for a…
Spaghetti Squash Bake
Spaghetti Squash still amazes me every time I take a fork to its flesh and get lots of lovely noodles springing free! It’s one of my favorite go-to meals because it’s almost fool proof and it is fun to eat. Before now, I hadn’t really experimented with new ways to cook spaghetti squash. This recipe…
Roasted Summer Squash and Red Potatoes
We roast vegetables a lot. It’s our favorite way to cook up many different veggies at once, and it’s so simple and delicious that it’s become our go-to dinner. I wanted to shake things up a bit, so we did a new combo of veggies, summer squash and red potatoes, and added a breadcrumb coating…
Vegan Big Mac
I’m so encouraged by the quality of Beyond Meat and Impossible Burgers, and I really love that I can buy Beyond Meat products right in my normal grocery store! They taste just like regular burgers, it’s truly unbelievable 😲, and the best part is that you can enjoy them without harmful effects on the environment, animals,…
