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…
Funfetti Cake
What’s a Saturday without a little FUN? Growing up, funfetti cake was a cake that I always helped bake because it was a recipe in my “cookbook for kids”. It featured easy recipes that kids could help make with their parents. This cake became a favorite in our household, especially on birthdays and special occasions….
Slow Cooker Hearty Pasta and Bean Stew
For me the slow cooker is always an experiment. I put a bunch of things in, turn it on for a few hours, and I never quite know what I’m going to get. This time I tried to make my mom’s minestrone soup, but I think the macaroni I used was too big or I…
Quinoa Tabbouleh
I love tabbouleh. Whenever I order falafel, I always order a side of tabbouleh because it is so refreshing and bright with flavor. The combination of all the fresh herbs with the citrus dressing give it so much fresh aroma and bursting flavor. Whenever I feel like I need a health boost, I make myself…
Vegan Omelet
There’s nothing like a slow weekend morning. I really enjoy waking up leisurely and spending the first part of my morning making coffee and a nutritious and special breakfast for hubby and me. I almost always have cereal on weekday mornings so the weekend is the only time I get to experiment and spend time…
Chunky Crab Dip
I really love my vegan crabless cakes recipe, so I was inspired to make something similar tasting that I could quickly whip up for a snack. I came up with this crab dip that uses hearts of palm, lots of chunky vegetables, and vegan cream cheese and mayonnaise. It can be served warm or cold…
Roasted Garlic Cloves
We had roasted garlic as an appetizer when we went out to dinner a few months ago and the experience was so delightful and flavorful that it stuck with me after all that time. I have been meaning to recreate it ever since! I couldn’t believe how mellow the garlic flavor became and how soft…
Cranberry Beet Chutney
A bit unexpected, nice and sweet, slightly tangy, and a great alternative to plain ol’ canned cranberry sauce – that’s this cranberry beet chutney in a nutshell. It would be delicious paired with dark greens, roasted potatoes, and flaky biscuits for a full meal that excites all the taste buds! I used canned beets but…
Key Lime Pie
It’s my birthday today! I have been craving key lime pie for quite some time now, so I figured there’s no better time to make it than my birthday! Plus, I’d never tried baking with aquafaba before so I bought myself a hand mixer as a birthday present and was determined to make some vegan…
Sage Brown Butter Turnip Wedges
I ❤ Turnips! I never really eat them but when I do, I’m always surprised at how much I enjoy them. They are super easy to roast up in the oven and are a great alternative to potatoes, and have a touch more flavor and bite than potatoes. In this recipe, the turnip wedges work…
