I have a huge sweet tooth, but most of the time I find fudge a bit too sweet even for my tastes. I don’t often crave it, and haven’t missed it that much since going vegan. But….this fudge adapted from Minimalist Baker has changed my mind! It’s only sweetened with a touch of maple syrup…

Escarole Soup
Escarole Soup is basically Italian Wedding Soup but without the mini meatballs. It’s a very simple one-pot-meal, and only has three main elements that you basically can’t mess up: escarole, broth, pasta. Throughout the cooking process, the broth gets enriched with all the wonderful nutrients and depth of flavor from the escarole. If you’ve never…
Easy Three Bean Chili
Slow Cooker to the rescue! That should be my new mantra. I seriously love this amazing appliance. I love that the apartment smells wonderful when I get home from work, I love that I have a hot cooked meal on the table in just minutes, and I love that it’s a VERY easy clean up!…
Swiss Chard with Garlic and Onions
Rainbow chard is such a pretty vegetable. When I worked on a farm, I remember being amazed by the beautiful colors that magically emerged from the ground. It was so humbling that the soil, sun, and water could produce such a gorgeous and nutritious plant. Even though it’s pretty, I must admit that it’s not…
Beet Braid
I had a leftover sheet of frozen puff pastry and couldn’t figure out what to do with it, so I tried my hand at a fancy pastry braid and filled it with some beets, spinach, and pesto for an easy 20 minute dinner. The braid could use some work – don’t look too closely, it’s…
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
I really wish this one looked as good on camera as it tasted in person! This roasted cauliflower salad is dressed with a maple mustard sauce that is the perfect pairing for all of its salty and sweet flavors. The cauliflower is really just the base to carry the flavors of the salty capers, the…
Pasta and Eggplant
The easiest dinner in the world, in my humble opinion, is pasta. There’s a reason it’s one of the first things we learn to make as young adults and college students. In our home, we mix in vegetables with our pasta, basically using whatever we have on hand to add variety to a weekly staple….
Kale and White Beans
I don’t think I utilize frozen vegetables enough. Too often, I forget about their ease and versatility. I know that eating fresh produce means getting the most nutrients, but frozen ain’t a bad alternative. And, frozen vegetables are likely to be cheaper and obviously won’t go bad for a very long time unlike fresh produce….
Herb Cauliflower Rice
Moms are the best. For so many reasons. And especially when they give you recipe tips that you can use on your blog. 😉 Mom pointed me towards this perfect bag of frozen cauliflower rice that is available in the grocery store, already flavored beautifully, quick to whip up in a skillet or microwave, and…
Beet Risotto
Eat the rainbow! It’s sound advice if you’re trying to eat a healthier diet, because vegetables with big color usually have big nutritional value too. The vibrant colors are mother nature’s way of making healthy fruit and vegetables more appealing to animals. It’s no wonder why I’m drawn to bright berries and juicy red tomatoes…
