We belong to an organic CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which supports a local organic farm. In this week's box we got some yellow squash which my kids would probably not touch, and isn't my favorite either. (Although zucchinis are one of my very favorite veggies. Maybe I just don't like the color yellow? I don't know.) Anyway, we also got some spring onions, so I made these … [Read more...]

This is what I'll be grilling up on the 4th! These are the BEST veggie burgers I’ve ever had. My kids are not burger people, regardless of the brand or restaurant, I have tried every burger from every place you can think of and they only eat the roll! My husband and I also don't eat/like the Impossible or Beyond burgers (we aren't big eaters of fake food/fake meat) but these veggie … [Read more...]

So… I did a thing! A very cool thing (in my opinion!).   I MADE HOMEMADE FLATBREAD (with basically 3 ingredients!) I've wanted to make a particular type of flatbread for YEARS now. I knew it could be done vegan and gluten free, I even knew it could be done with only a few ingredients and easily. But honestly, I find making bread of any kind intimidating. Also, my timing has been SO … [Read more...]

Every year someone asks me what vegans eat for Thanksgiving! First of all, just about every side and dessert is or can be made plant based (and that's the best part anyway, right?!) But I can understand the question. I can't exactly veganize a turkey! My family and I also aren't big fans of processed foods, including Tofurky or other highly processed grocery store items claiming to be a vegan … [Read more...]

We are excited to have our first Thanksgiving in our new home! We already adopted our annual turkey. This year the girls picked Alexandra! (Last year it was Anna & Elsa, the year before that it was Bowie, and before that Sandy…. I bet you didn't know I had such a big family! LOTS of turkeys! :)- ) I just finished putting together my Holiday Gift Guide, my girls are going to help me make … [Read more...]

My husband and I have a long-running joke. We'll be eating at a restaurant (or since the pandemic, dining on take-out at home) and I will take a bite of something and I'll idly ask him "You know what version of [some dish] is my favorite?" And he'll answer "yours?" YEP! :) With a few notable exceptions, I usually prefer my own cooking to stuff we get out. I use less salt, sugar and oil than … [Read more...]

This spooky spaghetti is something of a tradition in our house for All Hallow's Eve. (My kids always request my vegan hot dog mummies for Halloween dinner!) It's so easy to make the "skulls" that it's become one of my go-to's for at least one night of Halloween craziness. (Who has time to waste in the kitchen when all sorts of spooky frights abound?!) The recipe, such as it is, basically boils … [Read more...]
