Sweet Corn Casserole is like dessert, but socially acceptable to eat at dinner time. Paula Deen is the queen of this southern comfort food. This recipe was inspired by Living Well’s Paula Deen copycat recipe. It’s the kind of dish that tastes so good you can’t believe it could be so simple to make. It…

Raw Lasagna
Okay. So I took a little chance here and got fancy. I don’t really follow “raw” diets and have never considered trying one, but I was feeling creative and healthy and decided to try a “raw” lasagna as a new dish. It turned out so good – and it was a huge hit with hubs….
Sausage Bake
Sausage Bake was a staple casserole dinner in my household when I was a kid. We must have had it once a week for a good few years, most likely because it was cheap and convenient for my mom to prep ahead and put in the oven on time bake. During our middle school and…
Italian Meatloaf
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is an iconic American meal, isn’t it? My English hubby has many (negative) preconceived notions about meatloaf, and I was determined to change his mind about this dish – and with a vegan version at that! I chose to serve it with delicious, creamy mashed potatoes to help my chances, but…
Eggplant Parmigiana
Eggplant Parm is one of my all-time favorites meals. My aunts and mom all make amazing versions of this iconic Italian-American dish, so there’s a lot to live up to. I’m very proud of my vegan attempt – it was absolutely delicious, even without the eggs and cheese! Nutritional yeast takes the place of Parmesan…
Sausage and Cranberry Stuffed Acorn Squash
Acorn squash is such a great dinner option for our family because it is the perfect size for two, it doesn’t take forever in the oven, and it’s got a nice, distinct flavor that both hubby and I love. Sometimes I just quarter or slice the squash, roast it with dried rosemary, and serve it…
Pasta Bolognese
This is just a classic staple. You probably have all the ingredients on hand at any given moment, and it’s great for feeding a crowd or for unexpected dinner guests. Everyone loves a dish of pasta, and even better if it’s full of chunky, hearty sauce! You can use any vegan ground “meat” crumbles you…
Taters Beans and Kale
There are always those days when it seems like you have no ingredients, and you have to make a miracle happen to make dinner. Today was one of those days. I couldn’t quite figure out what we should have for dinner, so we had a hodge podge of delicious things, and lucky for me, they…
Beet Braid
I had a leftover sheet of frozen puff pastry and couldn’t figure out what to do with it, so I tried my hand at a fancy pastry braid and filled it with some beets, spinach, and pesto for an easy 20 minute dinner. The braid could use some work – don’t look too closely, it’s…
Butternut Squash Farro with Roasted Carrots
This farro recipe is a copy cat of Dig Inn’s farro bowl base. If you’re not familiar with Dig Inn, it’s this lovely fast casual food restaurant that’s basically a Chipotle but serves whole foods in healthy bowls. This farro is one of their seasonal offerings and is delicious topped with any of their roasted…
