We're doing a lot more cooking here in our house. The beaches/restaurants are closed for the long weekend, and we still have safer-at-home orders in place here in LA. Maybe you're in a similar situation, or just hanging out BBQ'ing for the weekend. Either way, I'd like to share, for the first time ever, my best ever coleslaw recipe AND potato salad recipe! Easy, yummy, traditional yet totally … [Read more...]
Red, White & Blue Vegan Potato Salad
Day 546 of quarantine. Kidding! (But it certainly feels that way.) The beaches and restaurants are closed for the long weekend, and we still have safer-at-home orders in place here in LA. Maybe you're in a similar situation, or just hanging out BBQ'ing for the weekend. The plus side? We've saved A TON of money by cooking at home for every meal! It's healthier too! :) Growing your own food, … [Read more...]
Mock Tuna Salad (Vegan & Gluten Free)
This is the one recipe I've made the MOST of this summer! I just can't get enough! I recently visited my parents in NJ and my mother said it was better than "actual" tuna salad!

I had mock tuna salad for the first time at an LA cafe this past spring and I loved it so much that I had to make … [Read more...]

This soup is great without cashews (if you want a nut free soup or don't have cashews!) and truffle oil BUT... I have … [Read more...]

I LOVE my vegan/gluten free mac 'n cheese recipe but I didn't have any cauliflower on hand! I DID have some … [Read more...]
French Onion Soup (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I LOVE French Onion soup! On rare, special occasions, my Mom would make it from scratch and serve it in those classic cute shaded brown bowls. It was always a real treat and incredibly yummy. Most onion soup recipes are beef based, have real cheese AND use gluten-full bread. I love a cooking challenge so I thought I'd give it a whirl and make this vegan and gluten free. Outcome? SUCCESS!!! I … [Read more...]
