It’s almost casserole season! The brisk fall weather had me yearning for some nourishing warmth straight from the oven. This cauliflower cake was a simple and healthy dinner option that fulfilled that desire completely. The cake uses tofu to bind everything together instead of eggs, and softened cauliflower florets give it texture and lots of…

Raspberry Apricot Baked Oatmeal
I came across an exciting flavor of jam in the store, Bonne Maman‘s Apricot Raspberry preserves, and it insired me to make baked oatmeal with those fun flavors. I’ve made a fresh blueberry version before (see here) but this recipe takes baked oatmeal to a whole new level of flavor. Apricot and raspberry are two…
Lemon Cranberry Scones
Everybody seems to be baking with all their extra time on their hands these days. I’ve seen lots of photos of dough rising and freshly baked sourdough. Inspired by all the amateur home bakers out there, I got the urge to bake something sweet and special too. This scone recipe is basically the same as…
Crispy Cauliflower with Salsa Verde
Crispy cauliflower with fresh Salsa Verde is a yummy side dish perfect for a normal week night or for serving to guests. A fresh salsa verde made from chopped herbs, shallots, lemon juice, and olive oil is such an easy trick for dressing up your average plate of roasted veggies. The cauliflower gets a slightly…
Baked Tempeh Tenders
Tendahs! Love me some tendahs. Who said tenders needed to be chicken? Here I made them with tempeh, the delightful protein cake made of fermented soybeans. Turns out it’s a pretty good substitute! I breaded the strips and baked them for 20 minutes in the oven to get a crispy exterior. They were great dipped…
White Lasagna with Squash
Trying a new spin on an old classic is always a fun adventure. Taking something like say, lasagna, and making it fresh and new with say, white sauce and pureed veggies, is a particularly delicious adventure! I highly suggest taking the journey. Instead of a traditional marinara sauce, this lasagna uses a cashew-based alfredo sauce…
Cheesy Potato Croquettes
Croquettes are usually a bread-crumbed + fried form of leftovers. Very typically they are made of leftover mashed potatoes, but I’ve also seen them made of leftover pasta or sweet potatoes, etc. Here is a vegan version of this comfort food made with vegan cheese shreds, almond milk, and vegan butter. I chose to bake…
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…
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…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal raisin cookies are a silent favorite. I’m not sure why, but for some reason they get a bad rep and are sadly underrated. It’s a shame because they can be so delightful from that touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, and the raisins get warm and gooey in the oven. The best is when they…
