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…

Baked Oatmeal
Breakfast is supposedly the most important meal of the day, but it usually gets the least amount of thought and time. I almost never have a cooked breakfast on a week day morning – it’s always a rushed bowl of cereal right before I run out the door for work. And yet, I wish I…
Slow Cooker Lentil Soup
This might be the PERFECT slow cooker lentil soup recipe. I kid you not. It is so rich and flavorful, and so simple to make. I bought the “Greens for Soup” from the grocery store (Celery, Carrots, Leeks, Onions, Turnips & Parsnips) – this is a super great tip if you don’t mind spending $1-2…
Chocolate Tahini Date Balls
I’ve already shared a recipe for date balls (here), but these super snacks are too good not to repeat. I personally love them as an alternative to processed / packaged snack foods, and they are so sweet even kids will love them! This flavor combination is inspired by Natural Kitchen Adventures and uses tahini, sesame…
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
This recipe is adapted from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken. I tried it, fell in love, and decided that I needed to share it. It’s quick enough for a weekday morning and a great way to use up the pesky leftovers from a full can of pumpkin puree! And, it’s a great heart-healthy breakfast with…

Chickpea Avocado Salad
A great vegan lunch option is this chickpea avocado salad. It’s delicious on a sandwich or on top of mixed greens. It’s got lots of healthy fats that will keep you feeling fuller longer. So for anyone like me that gets hungry every hour at work, it’s a good packed lunch because it leaves me…
Cashew Crusted Tofu
This may as well be a Trader Joe’s website recipe because it is based on two my favorite TJ products: super firm tofu and raw cashew pieces. I am such a fan of TJ’s because they have so many great vegan products. Their super firm tofu is amazing because it saves time from the pressing…
Kale Lentil Bowl
Bowls are so trendy these days, aren’t they? They’re on most healthy or vegetarian restaurant menus, they’re all over Instagram, they’re in every vegan cookbook I own. But what is a bowl other than a normal meal packaged in a pretty way? You got your quinoa or grain base, you got your bean or lentil…
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…
