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…
Spinach and Cheese Swirls
I had a lot of fun making these cuties. The recipe was so simple and the result was so cute and scrumptious, it was a total delight! I had a sheet of frozen puff pasty in the freezer waiting to be sculpted into something new and delicious, and a bag of spinach that desperately waiting…
Taco Dip with Refried Beans
One of my favorite party foods is layered taco dip. Usually it’s full of cheese and sour cream, but this version is vegan, a bit healthier, and still totally delicious! The best part are the vegan refried beans which are perfectly smoky and creamy. We ate this dip during a big championship soccer match (hubs…
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,…
Mini Beet Pastries
I love that frozen puff pastry is accidentally vegan. It’s one of my favorite things to experiment with, especially because it’s so dang delicious, and unpredictable! I’d say these experimental beet pastry pillows definitely came out my signature #imperfect, but they certainly tasted perfect! They were fun to eat with our hands and we dipped…
Teriyaki Portobello Mushrooms
It always amazes me how meaty portobello mushrooms can taste, and how perfectly they can take the place of meat in a dish. When I looked at the pictures of these teriyaki portobello mushrooms, I had to do a double take – they almost look like pieces of steak! I know they don’t taste like…
Orzo Salad with Chickpeas
We had a half empty box of orzo in our cabinet for a couple of weeks (months maybe?). I had bought it as an ingredient for another recipe and didn’t have any other use for it. I decided to get creative and think up ways to use this cute little orzo pasta. A pasta salad…
Miso Roasted Eggplant
I posted a recipe not too long ago that mentioned my desire to find more ways to cook with miso. A friend of mine commented: “miso and eggplant is really yummy, you should try it!” I’m so here for the food and recipe recommendations, and you know I’m up to try almost anything. So naturally,…
