Healthier & Happier Living with a Plant-Based Diet
So now everyone in the US has finished with their Thanksgiving feasts, and there are still leftovers hanging around (right?). Some of it goes fairly quickly - leftover seitan, potatoes, and cranberry sauce make lovely sandwiches 🙂 But what about the rolls and bread? Those are the things that don't get better by the day...… Continue reading Coconut Orange Bread Pudding
As you might be able to tell (from this and this), I love cranberries and oranges together. There is something about that sweet-tart flavor that's incredible to me, and this particular smoothie also incorporates the wonder ingredient tahini. Tahini is a fantastic ingredient to add to your diet as much as possible: sesame seeds (what tahini… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Smoothie
This was one of those spur of the moment recipes ~ I wanted the ease and comfort of a bowl of kitchari, but wanted to change up the flavors a bit. Since it's fall and everything tastes better with nutritional yeast (except those boxed vegan mac & cheeses that only taste like nooch), I married… Continue reading Cheesy Butternut Kitchari
Welcome to the November 2013 Virtual Vegan Potluck! This is my third VVP, and it's so fun to be a part of this incredible group of bloggers who come together with their amazing creations twice a year. Thanks to Annie and all of her helpers who keep it all going! In the past, I've done… Continue reading Virtual Vegan Potluck: Spicy Cranberry Orange Cocktail
I've been on a cookie tear this weekend. Friday, I made a batch of Vegan Richa's Nan Khatai cookies for a Diwali celebration over the weekend. While mine spread out and didn't stay in neat little balls like hers did, they tasted fantastic! Like spicy, chewy sugar cookies. Incredible. And Saturday, I wanted to make… Continue reading Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles
As I was learning to become a better cook, the one area that took me longer to learn was the art of spicing (yes, it's still a work in progress!). As far as I was concerned, a dish of pasta with a tablespoon or so of cayenne was "spiced". Unfortunately, no one that I served… Continue reading Vegan Diwali Sweets ~ Recipe and an E-book Giveaway!
I've been wanting to make a bread like this for a while - using the flavors of sweet banana and nutty pecans in a yeasted bread, rather than a quick bread. Actually, I read a book about 12 years ago that mentioned a bread like this, and I've been wanting to make one like it… Continue reading Yeasted Banana Pecan Bread
I know I've been pretty much awol for the past couple of weeks. After posting most days of the month for Vegan MOFO in September, I've kind of taken it easy over the past couple of weeks. But ~ the break is over and I have some great stuff coming up, I promise. Plus I'm… Continue reading Spiced Poached Pears with Granola & Sweet Cashew Cream
I was so excited a few of months ago when I discovered that vegan butterscotch extracts exist. I don't quite know why I never thought about it before, I somehow thought that that amazing butterscotch flavor would have to be homemade from now on ~ while I know that vegan butterscotch chips exist, I usually… Continue reading Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Brownies and the WordPress Family Award
While I was in Utah last week, I had the great experience of making Somer's famous vegan cheese.We had such fun that I was determined to make more once I got back... thus came the incredible vegan Smoked Gouda. This, my friends, is the bomb. So today I needed something equally fabulous to pair it… Continue reading Cauliflower Velvet Soup with Vegan Smoked Gouda
