One of the quickest things to make for dinner when there’s not a whole lot of time available to spend on it is stir fry. We make stir fry all the time and usually don’t write it down, or take pictures…but this is not always. Those of you who have tried […]
These matcha shortbreads were a purposeful endeavor to create some cookies (of this exact flavor) that are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free. I was pretty excited at first, starting with my regular recipe of matcha shortbreads (not published…yet, anyway!) and deciding how it might make sense to de-allergy-fy it. Four […]
This savory and relatively quick single-dish dinner came out of random groceries I bought at Trader Joe’s one day. They have this lovely marinated Sriracha tofu, which was the main inspiration for the stir-fry. Sriracha tofu is essentially just extra firm tofu marinated in Sriracha–so you could totally make your […]
Whether you’re eating gluten or not, you’ve got to try carrot noodles! They’re just sweet enough, and prepared in this recipe, tastefully savory as well. This can be a creative side or even the focus of your whole meal. As a main dish, it can be topped with whatever you […]
What’s even better than cinnamon buns? Apple roses, of course! Essentially a simple combination of pie crust (which we’re going to make from scratch), vegan margarine, apples, sugar, and spice (and everything nice?) They look impressive, and I’m not going to lie–they can be a little tricky to roll up […]
Whole -food plant-based, oil-free, packed with 3 superfoods, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low fat, refined sugar free…these balls have it all! And to top that off, they also look pretty cool, if we do say so ourselves 😀 These are amazing in the morning when you’re running late and need something […]
This dish is the type of comfort food that we actually feel pretty good about eating, too. Why? Not only is it swimming in creamy deliciousness, but it’s also sneaking in some secret greens and antioxidant-rich turmeric as well. That’s right…this super awesome pasta salad comes secretly packed with not […]
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. […]
A meal that is whole foods and plant-based is generally somewhat simple, meaning that on the up side, it’s uually pretty easy to make. The downside is that sometimes these concepts are SO easy that we fool ourselves into thinking they’re common sense and thus never try them (I so […]
In many parts of China, various types of noodles are part of the local culture. In this dish, as in many noodle dishes, we’re actually combining elements from a few different parts of the country. The concept of eating a noodle dish with some kind of mix of savory sauces […]
Getting gluten-free right doesn’t have to be a pain. There are a few hacks to keep in mind, and this recipe takes advantage of at least one. These passed the “it doesn’t taste gluten-free!” test, and they all got eaten quickly last time I took them to an event–so I’m […]
No-bake cookies are fun and rewarding because they’re so easy! The dough is edible (and who doesn’t like eating cookie dough?), there’s no waiting for baking, and of course no oven preheating or accidental finger burning from touching hot pans 😛 These little guys are nut-free, using sunflower butter as […]
