Chickpea/Chicken & Apple Salad

I love chicken and tuna salads. It was something easy and depending on how you made it, a healthy lunch or snack. After switching to eating plant based I was trying to find a replacement. At wholefoods they make a GREAT "chicken" salad in their fridge section. But it's made with soy, it's heavy, and …

White Winter Sangria with Pomegranate Seeds & Rosemary

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you a drink I had made last year. I had found a recipe that used rosemary and pomegranates and thought it looked gorgeous! Since I didn't like everything it had in it, I was inspired to make my own and still use the rosemary and pomegranates. It's light, it's …

Amelie’s Wheat Germ Pancakes

Here is another "Family Recipe" that I decided to veganize: Amelie's Wheat Germ Pancakes. Amelie is a dear friend of the family, who might as well be family, and one of my Grandmother's best friends. Not to mention, she is a great cook! She shared this with us and this was something that my Mother …

“Cheddar Bomb” AKA Kick Ace Cheddar Ball from Vedged Out

This recipe I originally found at Vedged Out. I've seen the picture and the recipe on multiple sites since I saw it there. It is BY FAR one the THE BEST vegan cheddar recipes I've made yet. I've done some tweeks to it each time but it's still the same cheddar ball, sometimes with spice, sometimes …

Black Bean & Quinoa Chili

I think I've made this chili at least twice a year since going plant based. It's been my favorite ever since we first had it and after I modified it. Now I have to tell you where and when this recipe came into my life. It's not that exciting so don't get you hopes up. …

Chickpea & Dumplings

I love dumplings! There will soon be a family recipe that is a potato and onion soup with dumplings - starch lovers will rejoice! But chicken and dumplings was another favorite of mine. The veggies, and creamy broth, the soft chicken, the black pepper, and then the gooey soft chewy dumplings! Oh man! One night …

Lucille’s Apple Cake

Hello All! Here is another family recipe that came from a family friend. My mom's family lived in Michigan for a good while. There they became friends with a family and the Apple Cake recipe was the wife's, Lucille's, recipe. Her daughter and my Mom became great friends and she ended up being in my parents …

Rosemary Scalloped Potatoes

I wonder how long I can go without posting a potato recipe? Here's another one for you: Rosemary Scalloped Potatoes! The creamy sauce it's baked in, and the layers of soft but still firm potatoes... And then you have the savory rosemary mixed in with it! Living in the mid-west scalloped potatoes was a more …

Key Lime Pie

Hello everyone! If you've been following me on Instagram, and/or have seen my previous post about the "Key Lime Pie FAIL" then you will know how proud I am of this recipe. I love baking, but I don't know the science behind a lot of it, so when I try to "veganize" a baking recipe, …
