Garbanzo Bean Egg & Coconut Bacon Quiche

  One of James' favorite foods is quiche! So once I figured out how to make a soy-free egg that I liked and could easily find the ingredients to, I wanted to try to make a quiche for both of us. One night we made BLTs for dinner - his with bacon and mine with a …

Tip #8 – How to Make a Meal Out of Nothing – Minestrone, My “Stone Soup”

Hello everyone! I was thinking of creating my own minestrone soup recipe, but really all that "Minestrone" is, is any vegetables, beans, grains, broth that you have thrown in a pot with herbs. So I wanted to show you how I clean out my pantry and fridge here and there with "leftover" vegetables, canned beans, tomatoes, …

Mac “Jabroni” & Cheese

I won't bore you too long, but let me first tell you about the name and my quest for making a good and healthy vegan macaroni and cheese. When I first went plant based macaroni and cheese was the one thing that could be my downfall, so anytime James made some for himself (which was …

Top 2016/2017 Winter Recipes

The end of winter is here, and spring is officially starting tomorrow. I have strong feelings for fall - well because I'm a white girl : P but seriously, I love the fall when I lived in the north. It is beautiful. It still is pretty in the south, but the spring has slowly crept …

Garlic Herb Baked Pasta with Miyoko’s Double Cream Garlic Herb Cheese

I had tried Miyoko's Garlic Herb cheese back in November, and I fell in love. I had been wanting to make a garlic herb pasta for a while, and now I had even more of a reason to. It came out great! And best of all it is plant based, and if you have whole …

Lemon Garlic Herb Cashew Spread/Dip

I wanted to make a cheese that I could easily find the ingredients to and make that would substitute herb cheese in certain recipes (like my post for this Friday). This came out a little more lemony then I expected, but everyone still loved it! It's light, it's creamy, it's savory! Of course anything with …

Thai Coconut Soup

I wanted to make a fish, chicken, and soy free version of Tom Kha Gai soup so after looking up a few things about it and looking at a few vegan versions I figured out what I was going to do. It ended up being a lot more filling than I thought, and it ended …

Chickpea Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie is one of James' favorite meals. Once I found that out I knew I needed to see if I could make a vegan version that he liked as well. Of course it's hard to go wrong when cream veggies are wrapped in a "buttery" crust. So between the normal carrots, peas, and …

Apple Dumplings with Cream Cheese Center

Apple dumplings were one of my favorite desserts as a kid. My aunt and I would beg my Mom to make them and she would always agree to it if we peeled the apples and cored them. So while we were working on the apples, she was making the dough and the syrup. I had …

Red Enchiladas with Black Beans & Quinoa

I never thought that enchiladas would be so easy to make and to make vegan that James likes as well. This is my second recipe for enchiladas and they are some of his favorite recipes. Maybe I should just stick to different enchiladas?! I thought it would be hard since enchiladas are known for being …
