I love shortcuts. I’m a big fan of anything that makes my life easier and less complicated. While I can recognize that sometimes it might be therapeutic or an enjoyable challenge to take the long road by, say, making your own fresh vegan pasta dough, I also very much prefer finding little tricks that save…

Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
Do you ever play the game, what would your last meal be? I find it fascinating to hear what my friends and family would choose as their final bit of satiation on this planet. I find that most people choose nostalgic meals from their youth, things their parents made often, or guilty pleasure fast food…
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…
Hashbrowns with Quickie Chili
Hashbrowns are undeniably delicious, and the frozen ones are actually pretty high quality. We always have a bag on hand for whenever we are craving hashbrowns for breakfast, or for dinner! Here we topped our easy frozen hashbrowns with some quick, homemade chili, some dairy free cheese, and some cilantro. It turned our hashbrown side…
French Onion Soup in Bread Bowls
It’s definitely cozy soup weather, and what’s cozier than a BREAD BOWL?? Sorry to all of the gluten free folks out there but hot dang do I love bread. It’s like the most comforting food that ever existed, especially when it’s filled with hot, sweet french onion soup and topped with melted (dairy-free) cheese? I’ve…
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…
Stuffed Tomatoes
Stuffing doesn’t get enough love throughout the year. It is so delicious, it really shouldn’t just be a holiday food like it is for most people. Stovetop Savory Herb stuffing is vegan and so quick to make, and it’s such an easy filling for lots of vegetables, and especially these roasted beefsteak tomatoes. I fancied…
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…
Crunchwrap Supreme
Taco Bell used to be my favorite fast food restaurant, and it still is hubby’s favorite. It’s two blocks from our apartment so there are many late nights that he grabs something from “tacob” for dinner on his way home. It’s always delicious (the bean burrito still satisfies me sometimes) and it’s always affordable (hubby…
Veggie Supreme Pizza
Pizza is my favorite food and I could eat it for every meal. There is no doubt in my mind that I could eat it every day three times a day for the rest of my life. Especially with the existence of such good dairy-free cheeses these days, and their availability in most super markets,…
