A question from non-vegans considering veganism is usually, will I ever get to eat something creamy again if I give up dairy? The answer is: yes! This recipe uses softened (soaked) cashews to make a creamy sauce that turns a bag of spinach into something much more delicious and special. Creamed spinach is a simple side…

Balsamic Rainbow Chard
I absolutely love a bit of color in my food. For some reason, I feel like it heightens the other senses and makes everything smell and taste that much better. Rainbow chard is one of the most beautiful and colorful vegetables there is (hence the name!). It dulls a little when cooked, but it still…
Seasoned Oven Fries (Freeze Ahead)
We love oven fries. In England, oven chips are basically a food group. We don’t have them quite as frequently as hubs would like, but I’d say we still have them pretty often, often enough that I was curious to try to speed up the cooking process by making my own frozen version ahead of…
Parmesan Roasted Baby Zucchini
I’ve never bought baby zucchinis before but these looked so cute in the store I just had to buy them! Their size makes them perfect for a variety of recipes, but today I wanted to try roasting them topped with a vegan “parmesan”. All you have to do is half the little babies, drizzle with…
Stuffing Casserole
Stuffing! The absolute highlight of Thanksgiving, without a doubt. It’s truly undeniable that stuffing makes the entire meal and is what everyone is really looking forward too. It’s seems so backwards that most people probably never eat stuffing outside of the Thanksgiving meal + leftovers, especially since it is so universally beloved! I’ve made cornbread stuffing…
Spiced Apples
As a kid, I used to love when my family would make a rare stop at Boston Market for dinner, whether after a mall excursion or a busy day of extracurricular activities. We didn’t go out to eat that much, so any chance to get their spiced apples and mac n’ cheese was highly coveted….
Breaded Fried Mushrooms
Wanna make a good thing even better? Bread it and fry it! Mushrooms are the star of this show and are enhanced delightfully with the added crunchy texture of fried panko breadcrumbs. This is an easy way to jazz up an otherwise lackluster game of “what’s left in the fridge by Friday”. Have fun! Ingredients…
Chili Lime Corn
Holding onto the final days of summer the best way I know how! Grilled corn (grilled on the stove top of course). This easy recipe for corn on the cob is a bit spicy from a jalapeno pepper, a bit tangy from the fresh squeezed lime juice, and a bit sweet from the corn… so…
Grilled Balsamic Squash
Let’s be clear: I do not have a grill. I live in a one bedroom apartment in Queens and am without any outdoor space that could host a grill. I am in the market for a cast iron grill pan as my next kitchen tool slurge — I recently needed to replace my chopping knife…
Maple Balsamic Roasted Vegetables
We were recently in Vancouver for a vacation with hubs’ family — it was amazing! go there now! — and I visited a fancy olive oil store in Victoria. If you’ve ever been into one of these specialized olive oil shops, you know that they typically have tons of flavors to sample. I must’ve tried…
