This is a really easy and forgiving recipe. Use what you have. Don't have zucchini? No need to add it. Only have pine nuts? Use that! You can make it different ways each time and see what you like best. My kids love this meal, and I love that I can get greens, zucchini and a different variety of nuts and seeds in them! We top our pesto pasta with pine nuts, peas and vegan parm. Do what you … [Read more...]

This is the BEST & easiest tomato sauce! Roasting your tomatoes? Game changer! Just roast with some garlic and onion, some spices and blend. I grew these Roma's myself. They were so good straight out of the oven I actually ate two before the Vitamix got them. Roasted garlic is definitely a favorite food group of mine and this has an entire head! This made two jars and turned my 5 year … [Read more...]

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...]
