Vegan Butterscotch Syrup
I have been on a search for a good vegan butterscotch syrup. A thick vegan caramel sauce works in lots of recipes, but to meet one of my goals this month, I need a butterscotch syrup recipe. What's the difference? I'm so glad you asked. It had me confused too. Traditionally caramel uses white sugar, and butterscotch is made from brown sugar. I looked to my good friend Jenni, the Pastry Chef Online, for more details. She is not a vegan so she defines it like this: butterscotch has no ... Read More about Vegan Butterscotch Syrup
Maple Spiced Hot Toddy – Perfect for Fall!
I have to warn you that there is some gratuitous tableware in this post. Steampunk type things draw me in and that means lots of octopi (Octopuses?) and Krakens, not to mention goggles and crafty things. I got these dishes at Anthropologie last year. While they aren't exactly for day to day use, I immediately fell in love with them. My favorite part about the cup is the octopus suckers on the handle. Okay, enough about my dish fetish and on to the real reason you're here - a new recipe. ... Read More about Maple Spiced Hot Toddy – Perfect for Fall!

Vegan Banana Bread with Pecans and a Touch of Bourbon
My Vegan Banana Bread is fancied up with some pecans and a tiny touch of Bourbon. The main recipe uses a whole wheat pastry flour, but you can substitute a gluten-free baking blend to make it gluten-free. Today I want to give pecans in the spotlight. Don't worry though, I'll talk about apples, pears, sweet potatoes and all kinds of winter squash before fall is over. My version of banana bread is made with whole wheat pastry flour. The sweet, super-ripe bananas ... Read More about Vegan Banana Bread with Pecans and a Touch of Bourbon
Super Easy Tofu Stir-fry Using a Kale Salad Kit!
Please note that this post was sponsored by Eat Smart as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I received product samples to facilitate my review. How Can a Salad Kit Help Me? It can be hard to throw together a great weeknight meal. When you think of salad mixes or kits, you probably think of lettuce and not something to throw in a stir-fry. I'm really into the new Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits because ...

Vegan Blueberry Blintzes from Mastering the Art of Vegan Cooking
I was so excited to get a review copy of Mastering the Art of Vegan Cooking. I love The Shannons blog and always enjoy their recipes. They do interesting recipes and make the steps simple and easy to understand, so that all cooks can give them a try. I love the way they dive into old ways that people cooked vegan, like depression cakes when home cooks had no dairy or eggs available to them to make cakes. There is also a price per serving on the recipes which is a great way to do menu planning ... Read More about Vegan Blueberry Blintzes from Mastering the Art of Vegan Cooking

Another Tuesday and another recipe from my new book, The Easy Vegan Cookbook, that comes out September 1st! This time it's the recipe for my Veggie Quinoa Drop Biscuits.

They even have carrots and greens added in for both color and nutrition. It takes no time to whip up the batter and there's absolutely no rolling involved! Just scoop the dough ...

Creole Okra Corn Soup
Cheryl loves corn, and I love making Creole Okra Corn Soup because there’s something magical about looking in the refrigerator and coming up with a one-bowl meal.

Here's another recipe from my book, The Easy Vegan Cookbook. This is the perfect time of the year to make this Creole Okra Corn Soup while there's still fresh okra and corn ...
