We all want something that’s quick and easy for a weeknight dinner – but what if it could be healthy too? My vegan red beans and rice are the answer. Use organic canned beans, some prepped onion and bell pepper and it’s on the table in minutes. Serve over leftover rice or any grain that…
It’s the next chapter of unpredictable weather, but that still doesn’t need to change up your dinner plans. This week there’s gluten-free apple teff pancakes for breakfast, quick and easy weeknight vegan dinners, and a few surprises for the weekend – including some mini vegan avocado chocolate cupcakes. Happy Spring! It’s starting to feel a lot…
There’s a new kind of take-out in town – take (it) out of your slow cooker! This Kung Pao Cauliflower is so easy to make in your Crockpot and you can sub out seitan, chickpeas, or even cubed tofu for the cauliflower to make this dish your own. It’s the perfect plant based replacement for…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In my pre-vegan days I loved Irish cream and while you can’t buy a Vegan Irish Cream at a store near you, it’s easy enough to make yourself.

I seem to have made Fridays my “what’s for brunch” posting day. Honesty, I start thinking about weekend brunch on the deck from about Wednesday. Tomorrow I’m ready to make my Enchanted Vanilla Pancakes with Chai-spiced Peach Compote. I got fresh peaches in my CSA and they are ready to go! These pancakes are enchanted with…
With the weather getting cooler, it’s time to add a vegan sloppy Joe to your menu plan. I’ve made sloppy Joes with tempeh, black eyed peas – but this one is made with cooked beans you can grab from the pantry or your freezer. As you can guess from their title, Sloppy Buffalo Beans, is spicy from Buffalo hot sauce…
