This recipe is inspired by a Bon Appetit recipe I saw a few weeks ago that looked like a delicious and dairy free way to achieve a creamy pasta sauce, using the cheap and hearty white bean. I love that this recipe doesn’t involve blending or any fancy tools or ingredients. Anyone can make this…

Cozy Chorizo Stew
Cozy, spicy, nutritious — the three words I’d use to sum up this delicious vegan chorizo stew. I’m always trying to find new creative ways to use Trader Joe’s soy chorizo because it’s absolutely dynamite, and I recently came across an old recipe I had saved for chorizo cassoulet. I modified that recipe slightly and…
Chili Lemon Broccoli with White Beans
I’m very into simple flavors right now, especially when it comes to enhancing every day roasted vegetables with new flavor combinations (see my maple balsamic sprouts here). This broccoli would have been perfectly delicious just roasted in the oven with the classic olive oil and salt, but this time we decided to kick it up…
Mini Beet Pastries
I love that frozen puff pastry is accidentally vegan. It’s one of my favorite things to experiment with, especially because it’s so dang delicious, and unpredictable! I’d say these experimental beet pastry pillows definitely came out my signature #imperfect, but they certainly tasted perfect! They were fun to eat with our hands and we dipped…
Spicy Marinara with White Beans
This semi-homemade spicy marinara will become your go-to pasta sauce, I promise you. A little kick of thai red curry paste heightens all of the flavors of the tomato sauce, and will literally “spice up” pasta night! And it’s so simple to make. Even if you don’t usually like spicy food, I encourage you to…
Sweet Potato White Bean Chili
Life of an imperfect vegan: that moment when your gas is turned off in your apartment and you can’t use your stove or oven for days. How am I supposed to cook and blog when I have no stove or oven? I don’t even have a microwave! All week I felt so annoyed and so…
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….
Israeli Couscous with White Beans and Veggies
Sometimes simple meals are the best. You know the kind – they’re the meals you make out of a random assortment of ingredients gathered from your fridge and pantry. I recently bought some gorgeous Israeli Couscous Mix from Trader Joe’s and was dying to try it out, especially since we grow so tired of the rotation of the…
