Vegan almond cookies with almonds…amazing, really, with or without an added almond on top (although adding them makes the cookies super cute!) I love shopping discounts, and for some reason, that has resulted in a situation where I have a ton of almond butter sitting around the house. Almond butter […]
I’m constantly curious to see what happens when adding carefully selected but out-of-context flavors together. These masala oatmeal raisin cookies were born out of that curiosity! Soft and tender, the masala flavor is very subtle–you’ll miss it if you’re not careful! These bake up nicely and quickly and don’t require […]
My soy-free friends have often complained that having chocolate is a near impossibility, because in just about every type of chocolate, there’s some sort of soy, even if just soy lecithin. Having made chocolate myself and knowing it’s totally possible to make without soy, this was sort of a revelation […]
Love is always in season! Originally conceptualized for Valentine’s Day, these little raspberry jam hearts are perfect for any time of year! Slightly crunchy with just the right amount of sweet, the only special tools you need for these are two heart shaped cookie cutters that fit inside one another. […]
I wasn’t sure exactly what to call this recipe, since although it’s been a perennial favorite for the last three months around here, I don’t have a title for it worthy of the powerful taste this dish (quite literally) brings to the table. It’s the result of initially endeavored to […]
So, disclaimer, I’m not Thai 😀 But I am a lover of flavor, and some variation of this vegan Thai green curry dish has been a favorite for many years. When I was in college, a curry similar to this one was one of the first Thai dishes I tried…ever. […]
When making oil-free dishes, it’s not as simple as omitting the oil: Instead, a new flavor has to be created. In this case, the dish inherits a savory flavor from the combination of tomatoes and tahini, and a multidimensional feel from the addition of basil and coconut aminos. The result […]
Especially with summer just around the corner, sometimes, that barbecue flavor just CALLS…but lucky for us, there are healthier and kinder alternatives to chicken…and no, I’m not even talking about fake meat here (although you’re welcome to go that route!) I’m talking about the type of alternative that’s not only […]
This dish is an attempt to bring home the flavor of a rice noodle dish we’ve found at Thai restaurants a handful of times…with my own twist, of course! This dish is, like many of the other authentic tasting Asian dishes on here, one that might require either a trip […]
I have a confession…I have a mega sweet tooth. BUT, I don’t really eat a lot of sweets. I do bake a lot of sweets, usually for events, friends, and family, but the type of sweets I generally indulge are those which are made of fruit…like this one! “What? I came here […]
Every once in a while, we have to throw in some vegan comfort food. While we’ve had our share of experimenting around with various ways that vegan cheese doesn’t work, there are certain brands and/or certain uses in which it totally DOES work in dishes that my non-vegan friends will also […]
This pie crust is the result of making a celebratory pie for a friend at work after a milestone was reached. Those that are in the know are aware that anything I make is going to be plant-based…but the nice thing about work is that not everyone is “in the […]
