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 […]
soy-free
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“So wait–you’re telling me it’s a peanut butter cookie, but it’s peanut free?” Haha, yes. And nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan. And, beyond that, this recipe doesn’t rely on any esoteric peanut butter “substitutes”. Instead, we recreate the flavors of peanut butter using two seed butters. There are a lot […]
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 […]
This uniquely delicious tofu salad is packed with iron, calcium, and protein while delivering a flavorful departure from the norm. Featuring mint leaves and orange oil, it’s got a flavor that’s vaguely reminiscent of Thai tofu spring rolls (but, totally different!) This was something I put together for a Thanksgiving […]
Growing up, my family always used to make sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving, and sometimes Christmas, too. When I went vegan many years ago, this was one of the first recipes I aimed to veganize. Now that I’m also somewhat of a health freak as well, I admittedly don’t make […]
These superfood energy balls (think no-bake healthy cookies!) have just a handful of ingredients, are quick and easy to make, and give us an excuse to eat more superfoods! Oil-free, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low-fat, refined sugar free, soy free…I think we got all the “frees” with this one 😀 I […]
Roasted Brussels sprouts are one of our family’s favorite winter vegetables. They’re savory and satisfying while equally easy to prepare. We love finding the entire stalk of Brussels sprouts for sale at the grocery as the weather gets colder–the sprouts are fresher, and we know they’re in season! As a […]
