My husband tasted this potato salad and said “this was the best potato salad I’ve ever had”. Can you believe that? I almost fainted! So I’m basking in that praise and rolling with it (as seen by this recipe’s presumptuous title), because I think he’s right! It really was the best potato salad — and…

Slow Cooker Cauliflower and Potato Curry
Tired of slow cooker recipes yet? Nope, me neither! This one was from Half Baked Harvest and if you like curry flavor, it’s absolutely delicious. I splurged for all the garnishes for this one (a rare occurrence!), and it made a huge impact on the flavor of the dish. The coconut milk + red curry paste sauce…
Italian Meatloaf
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is an iconic American meal, isn’t it? My English hubby has many (negative) preconceived notions about meatloaf, and I was determined to change his mind about this dish – and with a vegan version at that! I chose to serve it with delicious, creamy mashed potatoes to help my chances, but…
Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped potatoes (or Dauphinoise potatoes in England) is my husband’s favorite dish. He said he’s only had it a couple of times but it’s the dish that brings about the most distinct and enjoyable memories for him. I’ve never made it before because I was intimidated by the creaminess and didn’t think I could make…
Taters Beans and Kale
There are always those days when it seems like you have no ingredients, and you have to make a miracle happen to make dinner. Today was one of those days. I couldn’t quite figure out what we should have for dinner, so we had a hodge podge of delicious things, and lucky for me, they…
Shepherd’s Pie
On a wicked cold day, there’s nothing quite like a meal that warms the soul. This vegan shepherd’s pie does just that. The thick stewed vegetables are divine, and the creamy mashed potato layer is like the icing on the…pie? I confess that it takes a while to make so be warned, but it is…
Loaded Baked Potatoes
Confession: I have absolutely ZERO patience and therefore I may never make jacket (baked) potatoes again, especially not at 7:30pm on a weeknight, that’s for sure. I put these babies in the oven at 7:05pm and they weren’t even close to done at 8:15pm, so needless to say, I was frustrated and HANGRY. But, they…
Breaded Tofu and Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Comfort food – not normally what comes to mind of when you think “vegan”. But this meal sure was comforting for both my mind and my tummy. All the elements of a good comfort meal were present: creamy mashed potatoes, gravy, slow roasted veggies, and breaded and fried tofu? Okay, maybe tofu is not what you…
Saag Aloo with Chickpeas
One of my favorite dishes to order at Indian restaurants is Saag Aloo, or spiced potatoes and spinach. I’m grossly simplifying the taste when I say it is just spices, potatoes, and spinach, but it really is as simple as cooking potatoes and spinach in a mixture of warm, Indian spices. Even though Indian cooking features…
